Abstract

Includes CD-Rom. For many teachers, gender issues related to role models, image and expectations have an effect upon the behaviour and achievement of both boys and girls, often to their disadvantage. This series of two innovative and practical resources, for teachers of students aged 5 to13 and 14 to19 provides: - a programme to promote gender equality and inclusivity in schools and colleges - a rationale for the programme based on social justice - a practical set of classroom activities to implement the programme. Each book adopts an 'action inquiry' methodology - engaging students and staff in the processes of investigating what is currently happening, and planning, implementing and reviewing improvements. This contributes to the development of the school as a self-evaluating organization, which listens to the voice of the child. The programme also supports teachers and other school staff in developing as reflective practitioners, and children and young people in developing as reflective learners.
