FIDGETY BOYS
Activities for Improving Behavior and Learning in School

Specific learning activities can help teachers transform any rambunctious boy into a gentleman and a scholar. Understanding the boy brain enables teachers to apply the most effective strategies for managing boys so that problem behaviors do not impede academic achievement and jeopardize safe and positive environments. Teachers who are cognizant of the learning style of boys can leverage that knowledge to boost test scores and make AYP by applying it across all four subgroups, which are defined by race/ethnicity, income, disability, or English-speaking ability.

In this training, teachers will learn how to apply practical concepts in the classroom via specific learning activities that improve student behavior and learning. They will become familiar with boy-friendly instructional strategies that help to transform the disengaged student into the engaged student. Of particular interest will be discussion of how brain research, when combined with research from other fields—education, gender differences, psychology, and sociology—can effectively inform gender-based instructional strategies that improve behavior and learning in school.
