Mind Their Gender!

The guys and gals in your room will learn differently not only because of their brain wiring, but due to gender differences. Part nature, part nurture, the resulting learning diversity in our groups needs to be respected if our sessions are going to have effective access points for all.

These resources offer a general overview of theory, lots of ‘aha’ moments that explain what you’re seeing in your sessions, and plenty of tips and strategies for tweaking your lessons.
