Boys and Girls Learn Differently! A Guide for Teachers and Parents: Revised 10th Anniversary Edition

10th Anniversary Edition

BOYS AND GIRLS LEARN DIFFERENTLY!

A Guide for Teachers and Parents 

Since its debut, BOYS AND GIRLS LEARN DIFFERENTLY! has been sparking conversation on gender difference, how it affects learning and what we can do about it.  As Michael Gurian said, “A powerful nexus of social change has been building, one in which girls’ and boys’ issues can be dealt with concurrently.”

Now gender-based learning has become an accepted reality, and has had profound implications on how classrooms are designed, built and utilized - from kindergarten to high school graduation. 

This 10th anniversary edition not only includes updates on the latest brain research, compiled and examined with the help of Gurian Institute Executive Director, Kathy Stevens, but also marks Michael Gurian’s decade-long impact on learning and education.

Stevens and Gurian build on Gurian’s initial research with the breakthroughs that have been made over the past decade, interweaving structural and functional differences that have been discovered regarding boys and girls brain function.  He utilizes this research to present a proven method on how to educate children that honors the neurological development and hormonal disparities of boys and girls.

In this special anniversary edition, parents and teachers will find a roadmap to help their children learn in a way to bring out their absolute best, by leveraging the strengths of their brain functionality.  It’s a must-read for all parents and teachers who want to support their child’s education and neurological development.
