Educators have for many years sought to understand why boys
underperform in schools and what can be done about it. In Breaking
through barriers to boys' achievement, Gary Wilson provides the
full picture as to why boys of all ages underachieve and what can
be done to start solving the problem. He presents the 28 barriers
to boys' learning, including early language development, 'laddish'
culture and lack of male role models. His emphasis is very much on
turning out respectable young men who have a 'caring masculinity'.
This revised and updated second edition includes new case studies,
data and practical tips and advice. You will find tried-and-tested
strategies which will help you to: - effectively engage boys in the
life of the school - engage boys in the curriculum, with particular
emphasis on literacy - create the right culture for learning -
develop emotional intelligence in boys - develop self-esteem -
provide opportunities for reflection - turn the 'peer police' into
a positive force for good - teach in ways that will hit all the
right buttons for boys, but will not disadvantage girls Breaking
through barriers to boys' achievement provides a practical toolkit
that will enable every teacher, department, key stage or school to
determine precisely which barriers impinge upon their work with
boys and to plan a way forward. It also provides a range of
whole-school models for developing effective projects for raising
boys' achievement.
