Differentiate your teaching style to address learning differences between girls and boys in the classroom!

The author provides qualitative and quantitative research to show why boys learn differently and demonstrates how you can differentiate teaching strategies to help boys succeed. This easy-to-use handbook shows you how to:

• Recognize sociological and neurobiological foundations of cognitive gender differences 
• Look critically at curricula and teaching practices, evaluate how well they work with boys, and uncover areas where changes can be made
• Develop educational approaches, based on research and classroom practice, that are responsive to the learning differences of both boys and girls
