Add peer pressure - perhaps one of the most significant barriers to boys' achievement - plus the lack of positive male role models, the reticence of many boys to read, together with countless emotional intelligence issues and you begin to understand the complexity of the problem.

In Breaking through barriers to boys' achievement, Michael Auden provides a picture as to why boys of all ages underachieve and what can be done to start solving the problem. He presents the barriers to boys' learning, including early language development, 'youth' culture and lack of male role models. His emphasis is very much on turning out respectable young men who have a 'caring masculinity'. You will find tried-and-tested strategies which will help you to: - effectively engage boys in the life of the school - engage boys in the curriculum, with particular emphasis on literacy - create the right culture for learning - develop emotional intelligence in boys - develop self-esteem - provide opportunities for reflection - turn 'peer pressure' into a positive force for good - teach in ways that will hit all the right buttons for boys, but will not disadvantage girls Breaking through barriers to boys' achievement provides a practical workshop that will enable every teacher, department, or school to determine precisely which barriers impinge upon their work with boys and to plan a way forward. August 26 - Women Teaching Boys* 10am till 12-30 Fee $250 includes a CD of support resources Women Teaching Boys is a workshop for teachers in being mindful of the learning and behaviour needs/patterns exhibited by boys.
