Dear Teacher,
Are you struggling to engage the boys in the classrooms?
Do you find it difficult to manage their behaviour or keep them focused?
Do you wish you could help them achieve at a higher level than they currently do?
You’re not alone!
Child Psychologist Steve Bidulph says; “The great challenge in the classroom is to get girls
to learn and boys to behave.”
Statistics across the board show that boys are falling behind girls in academic achievement
and make up the vast majority of problem behaviour in the classroom.
In this PD teachers will learn to understand the unique way in which boys develop and learn,
and how that impacts their ability to engage and access curriculum in the classroom.
Topics include:
● How boys develop socially and emotionally
● Educational challenges in teaching boys
● How boys learn
● Getting them to behave
● Practical strategies for engagement
and more...
