Book Synopsis

Have you ever wished that boys and girls could get along better in the classroom? Work together more productively? Be more friendly and respectful towards each other? Boys and Girls Together presents ten practical strategies from classroom teachers for bridging the classroom gender gap.

    Includes strategies for:
  • raising teachers' awareness of their current classroom gender climate;
  • managing the classroom to that boys and girls have opportunities to work, talk, and play together in a safe environment;
  • evaluating and supplementing curriculum materials to ensure greater gender balance;
  • structuring lunch and recess so that boys and girls can talk and play together safely outside the classroom.
