Boys Learn Differently Than Girls!
This workshop is designed to help parent-educators become more knowledgeable about the differences between male and female brains, and how those differences affect learning and behavior. We will briefly discuss research-based strategies and best practices to better educate boys while accommodating their unique learning needs.
Please Teach Me Like I’m a Boy! Ten Steps to His Success in School and in Life
The brains of our boys function differently than our girls. After discussing how these differences affect learning and behavior, we will focus on steps to meet the spiritual, physical, and developmental needs of our boys. In part two, we will examine how to encourage and motivate our boys while supporting their academic achievement in language arts and math.
Please note that while this is a two-part workshop, attending either or both sessions should prove beneficial.
