This book helps address the inequalities in outcome we often find between boys and girls. Ted Wragg (Professor of Education at Exeter University) writes, This book makes a notable contribution because it tries to tackle the issues in a positive way, without reducing opportunities for girls. It emphasises positive steps that teachers can take.
Lucinda Neall works with teachers and schools to identify what helps boys learn. The result is a teachers handbook, packed full of techniques, examples and ideas to:
" affirm and channel boys energy in a positive way
" improve emotional literacy
" encourage boys so they can be at their best
" get their co-operation without nagging and shouting
" find the best way to engage boys with humour and playfulness
" help raise boys aspirations and achievements through better communication.
An essential resource for adults concerned with boys behaviour, motivation and results.
