Gender Equality

Do you believe that boys learn differently? Do boys hate plain vanilla? I feel like many of the things that motivate boys, are also things that motivate girls. If we, as teachers, follow these guidelines: take me seriously, challenge me to think, nurture my self-respect, show me I can make a difference, let me do it my way, point me toward my goals, make me feel important, build on my interests, tap my creativity and bring out my best self; we will start the journey for a generation of lifelong, engaged and motivated readers. These needs apply to boys and girls. It is about gender equality- providing the same resources and supports for both sexes!
