Gender And Learning

Do boys and girls really learn differently? Or are we going backwards in gender equality?

These are two of the questions addressed in this book, in addition to many others.

Examples of gender specific learning have been emerging recently. This book encourages teachers of children, both boys and girls, to recognize these differences and to make practical use of gender-specific techniques as they plan for learning times together.

Beginning with brain development, teachers will recognize that gender-specific learning really makes sense. Anyone who works with children on a regular basis is already aware of some of the differences, but this book offers activities to take advantage of these differences. There are also
practical suggestions on how to bridge the gender gap in the typical group settings of the church.

Included in the book will be a workshop model for training teachers in gender-specific learning.

Features:

• Applies gender-specific guidelines for a variety of settings at the church: Sunday school, weekday ministries, mission and outreach, fellowship and mentoring activities.
• Gender-specific learning activities broken down into developmental segments: preschool, elementary, and tweens.
• Tips for bridging the gender gap at the different age levels.
• Worship model for training teachers on how to recognize the differences and
  plan activities accordingly.

Benefits:

• Provides support for teachers in choosing appropriate activities for their classes and helping all children learn about God and the Bible.
