Listen NowI Teach the Boys in 15 Minutes
Join veteran teacher Tom Steenson as he talks you through how to become a better teacher of boys.
Boys can be a special lot for many teachers; they are exuberant, energetic, willful, and wiley. Teaching boys can be a challenge, to say the least, but a challenge accepting, as the goal is great. In this podcast we hope to help you reframe your thinking about teaching boys – suggesting tactics and strategies, lessons and encouragement, to help you become a better teacher of boys. In understanding the boy student better, a teacher can make great strides in getting through to the boys in class. Remember: the boy who is better understood is a boy who can learn better.
