Book Synopsis Single-Gender Schools and the Inner City- Can they Work? by : Dr. Mateen Diop
Download or read book Single-Gender Schools and the Inner City- Can they Work? written by Dr. Mateen Diop and published by Mateen Diop. This book was released on with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's public schools are in peril. High drop-out rates among our youth, teen pregnancy at an all-time high and parental apathy pervade mainstream American schools. Many schools and school districts are beginning to offer alternative means of educating students. An option which has gained momentum over the years is that of a single-gender setting. Not hailed as a panacea, however many studies are suggesting that the single-gender setting can have a positive effect on school variables. This book goes in depth into how one school district in San Antonio, TX is experimenting with such a setting and are having great success. Dr. Diop's study suggests that although there is much work to be done in educating America's youth, to offer alternatives in the way of educating our children can only yield positive results.

Book Synopsis Single-Sex Schools by : Cornelius Riordan
Download or read book Single-Sex Schools written by Cornelius Riordan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single sex schooling might appear to be an obscure issue on the sidelines of the educational policy debates of our times. But it is far from this. In fact, a sizable number of people and political organizations would like to make these schools obscure, but somehow they are “scaling up” rather than down. In 1996, there were only two public single sex schools operating in America. By 2015 there are now at least 100 public single sex schools, despite opposition from the outset. These schools are primarily serving poor, urban, black and Latino, at risk children. This book takes up the challenge of studying the effectiveness of single sex schools. Riordan frees the discussion of its ideological and political baggage and brings a degree of theoretical and empirical balance to the debate. The book provides a sociological foundation for considering single sex schools. The basic argument is that the larger school context of all girls or all boys serves as the driving factor for producing favorable outcomes in single sex schools.

Download or read book Successful Single-Sex Classrooms written by Michael Gurian and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-12-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an essential resource for educators who are teaching or leading schools with single-gender classes, whether they're in public, private, or Catholic schools. It is a "soup-to-nuts" guide, covering everything from curriculum planning and classroom design to school policies and parent-teacher communication. Whether contemplating this new educational trend, or already working within one of the 12,000 single-gender schools, this practical guide shows educators how they can make the most of a unique educational opportunity. Positioned at the forefront of brain-based learning, Michael Gurian's work translates and distills the latest scientific research into key points which can be immediately integrated into an educator's existing practice. The research underlines the importance of single-sex learning, and supports the creation and implementation of new strategies for accommodating the brain differences of boys and girls - at both the school and classroom level.

Book Synopsis Innumeracy in the Wild by : Ellen Peters
Download or read book Innumeracy in the Wild written by Ellen Peters and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our grasp of numbers and uncertainty is one of humankind's most distinctive and important traits. It is pivotal to our exceptional ability to control the world around us as we make short-term choices and forecast far into the future. But very smart people can struggle with numbers in ways that pose negative consequences for their decision making. Numeric ability equips individuals with vital tools that allow them to take charge of various aspects of their life. The more numerate enjoy superior health, wealth, and employment outcomes, while the innumerate remain more vulnerable. This book presents the logic, rules, and habits that highly numerate people use in decision making. Innumeracy in the Wild also introduces two additional ways of knowing numbers that complement and compensate for lower numeric ability and explores how numeric abilities develop and where mistakes are made. It offers a state-of-the-art review of the now sizeable body of psychological and applied findings that demonstrate the critical importance of numeracy in our world. With more than two decades of experience in the decision sciences, Ellen Peters demonstrates how intervention can foster adult numeric capacity, propel people to use numeric facts in decision making, and empower those with lower numeracy to reason better.
Book Synopsis Gender Development by : Judith E. Owen Blakemore
Download or read book Gender Development written by Judith E. Owen Blakemore and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text offers a unique developmental focus on gender. Gender development is examined from infancy through adolescence, integrating biological, socialization, and cognitive perspectives. The book’s current empirical focus is complemented by a lively and readable style that includes anecdotes about children’s everyday experiences. The book’s accessibility is further enhanced with the use of bold face to highlight key terms when first introduced along with a complete glossary of these terms. All three of the authors are respected researchers in divergent areas of children’s gender role development and each of them teaches a course on the topic. The book’s primary focus is on gender role behaviors – how they develop and the roles biological and experiential factors play in their development. The first section of the text introduces the field and outlines its history. Part 2 focuses on the differences between the sexes, including the biology of sex and the latest research on behavioral sex differences, including motor and cognitive behaviors and personality and social behaviors. Contemporary theoretical perspectives on gender development – biological, social and environmental, and cognitive approaches – are explored in Part 3 along with the research supporting these models. The social agents of gender development, including children themselves, family, peers, the media, and schools are addressed in the final part. Cutting-edge and comprehensive, this is the perfect text for those who have been searching for an advanced undergraduate and/or graduate book for courses in gender development, the psychology of sex roles and/or gender and/or women or men, taught in departments of psychology, human development, and educational psychology. Although chapters have been designed to be read sequentially, a full author citation is included the first time a reference is used within an individual chapter rather than only the first time it is used in the book, making it easy to assign chapters in a variety of orders. This referencing system will also appeal to scholars interested in using the book as a resource to review a particular content area.
