Teaching+boys+and+girls+-+discussion

Last year, we partnered with the Gurian Institute which provides compelling scientific evidence for the significant differences in brain chemistry between males and females. The mission of the Gurian Institute is to provide evidence and strategies around the concept that "understanding the physiological and chemical brain differences between boys and girls and learning gender-friendly strategies can make a positive difference in their **academics** and **behavior**." There are certain things we have learned from this partnership, such as the fact boys like to throw things around while learning, and girls prefer a safer, calmer approach. Given what we have learned about the gender differences, what are ways you are trying to reach girls in the classroom, and what ways are you trying to reach boys.
