Engage Boys (and Girls) in their Literacy Learning (upper elementary, secondary, young adults

Dr. Jeffrey Wilhelm is one of the main stars in this year’s themes on gender-based learning and brain research.


Jeffrey Wilhelm’s research team followed 52 high-achieving, average and troubled high school boys through their daily routine. “The first thing that astonished us when shadowing kids through school was … how absolutely boring it was,” he said when interviewed for the article - Boredom Begins at School, (Montreal Gazette, April 24, 2010). In this seminar he will engage you in exploring how to “teach the same stuff in a slightly different way” to make it more interesting to students who are so often bored in school.

There are still 25 places left but they will fill up quickly. Please encourage your colleagues to consider this timely seminar.
