These lessons are based on James' gender research and are applicable for both coed and all male classrooms. Grammar, literacy, algebra, and geometry lesson plans cover the subjects where boys' brains differ the most from their female classmates. These lesson plans offer specific strategies for improving the subject areas where boys often fall behind in by identifying a common weakness of typical boy learners, describing a strategy for working on this weakness, then providing specific examples of that strategy in action"-- Provided by publisher.Experiential learningActive learningLearning, Psychology ofBoysEducationSex differences in educationExperiential learning.Active learning.Learning, Psychology of.BoysEducation.Sex differences in education.371.39EDU029000bisacshJames Abigail Norfleet1463571Allison Sandra BoydMcKenzie Caitlin ZimmermanMiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910795902703321Active lessons for active brains3736322UNINA
