Episode19-Bill McBride. "Girls will be Girls, Boys will be Boys: Teaching to Gender Differences"

Many boys are failing in our schools. Statistics clearly show that boys make up the bulk of our discipline problems, dropouts, and even inmates. Schools may be contributing to these failure rates by not considering differences in male and female brain development. Gender differences in brain development affect our children's' behaviors, emotions, and ability to process information. Dr. McBride's speak weaves humor with specific strategies to promote instruction that supports both male and female brains.
