Leveraging Gender Differences to Boost Test Scores
Costello, Bill
Principal, v87 n3 p48-52 Jan-Feb 2008
Teacher training in gender differences can help prevent schools from failing AYP. Teachers who understand how the learning style of boys differs from the learning style of girls can leverage that knowledge to boost test scores by applying it across all four subgroups, which are defined by race/ethnicity, income, disability, or English-speaking ability.
