Description: 
For the past 30 years, conventional wisdom has held that there are few, if any, innate differences between boys and girls in how they learn, think, or interact with one another. The educational tradition has held that girls and boys should be taught the same subjects in the same way at the same time. The latest research suggests otherwise. This course will explore the innate differences between boys and girls and will offer a new vision for what gender-friendly education may look like.
Objectives: 
As a result of this participation in this course, students should:
  1. Understand specific examples of gender-based differences.
  2. Understand the varying needs of girls and boys in the classroom.
  3. Provide examples of instructional strategies and room set up that align with how boys and girls learn best.
  4. Design a gender friendly classroom.
