Opis

The underachievement of boys has been a hotly §debated topic in both international and national §arenas. Not unlike many schools world-wide, Boston §Trinity Academy had an achievement gap. While §Stanford Achievement Tests supported the notion that §boys and girls were equally capable of academic §success, boys GPA s were significantly lower than §those of the girls. In response to this problem, §BTA, a coeducational school, implemented single-sex §classes in four of six courses for upper school §students. In addition, a professional development §program was actuated with the goal of increasing §faculty members' understanding of social and §biological issues that may be contributing to the §problem as well as to discuss potential pedagogical §changes which could be introduced in single-sex §classes.§§This book provides an analysis of the literature §surrounding the the underachievement of boys as well §as insight into the perspectives of students and §teachers in a coeducational school using single-sex §classes to erase the achievement gap between boys §and girls.
