Based on the most recent research and examples of the most effective practice, the course aims to:
- Be a resource in supporting shared understanding, a common language, and access to practical steps to enhance the quality of learning for girls and for boys.
-Identify masculine and feminine social and emotional features and to analyse class management strategies that best suit boys' and girls' behavioural styles.
- Identify the fixed mindsets in female and male students that appear to contribute to the substantial academic gender gap that emerges as from early primary school, and discover ways of transforming them into growth mindsets free of stereotypes.
-Reflect upon the importance of building teacher-student connections that match teachers’ teaching styles with students’ learning styles in order to empower the teaching-learning process.
Gender issues have been a focus for many educational research studies in recent decades, sparked by the differential responses of girls and boys to schooling. Differential retention rates, an apparent gender gap in achievement between girls and boys, subject choices at GCSE and A level, access rates to University, have all been scrutinised, with ambivalent outcomes. This course focuses on one aspect of this gender debate: effective pedagogies for girls’ and boys’ learning. In so doing, an attempt will be made to consider whether learning for boys and for girls is facilitated in equal terms in the classroom, whether girls and boys have different learning styles, whether there are girl-friendly pedagogies which are distinct from pedagogies which support boys’ learning. The essence of the course, however, is to support teachers: to help teachers to identify, within their own contexts, those learning and teaching strategies which enable girls and boys to maximise their own potential, and to succeed in their education, without sacrificing the essence of their own self. It is designed to be a vehicle to support educators through thoughtful reflection, sharing of knowledge, and healthy challenge of current beliefs and assumptions around girls' and boy’s learning.
During the course, the participants will be invited to contribute to discussions, work collaboratively, and share their reflections. The voices of the participants will be invaluable in this course, both because learning is a social activity and because together we own a wealth of experience and knowledge that we should mobilise and share.
