  • Characteristics of lessons Clear lessons; Lessons relevant to students’ lives; and Collaborative lessons. Particular activities Class discussions; Hands-on; Multimodal; Creativity and the creative arts; and Out-of-class experiences.
  • Among the eight components that we identified as contributing to effective and engaging lessons, the components reflected in the above narrative are relevance to this girl’s life and group collaboration.
  • One central finding of Reichert and Hawley (2010b) is that boys elicit the kinds of teaching they need.

  • Teachers designed lessons that captured student attention, which led to more meaningful classroom learning. This suggests that girls, like boys, elicit the pedagogy they need, though perhaps without (overtly) displaying resistance to the degree that boys do, and that both male and female teachers of girls are especially attuned to what girls need in terms of pedagogy and activities that maximize girls’ engagement.

      How can I work to meet the needs of boys AND girls in my classroom? What are the practices that will enhance the learning of them both without taking away from the other in any way?

    Relating lessons to real life, having clear lessons that are collaborative, including class discussions, creating hands on activities, including creative arts and out of classroom experiences can better enhance the education of girl learners.

    Can I conclude on this personal note? As I get older I learn more. When our first child was born, I was only twenty years old. Now we have three grandkids now and our oldest has just turned eight. When she was a baby, I held her in my hands and I thought to myself "I know what I believe in." What I believe is that whatever infant I hold in my hands - it doesn't matter the color of skin, doesn't matter rich or poor, doesn't matter religion, doesn't matter boy or girl, doesn't matter urban or rural - every child in our country, the greatest country in the world, should have the same opportunity to develop her full potential, and his full potential.

    This book is a must have for parents and teachers alike! The author dedicated this book to her daughter that has been diagnosed with ADHD. The challenges of being a child whose life is sometimes so hard and the struggles of a parent trying to make the best out of both positive and not-so-positive moments in daily life are shared. I will admit I had tears when I read it, and I feel in our profession we will deal with children just like this little girl. Most importantly, we will need to find a way to help this child have the best day possible each and every day.
