Book by Kathleen Palmer Cleveland is a response to growing concerns about a crisis in boys academic achievement. Presents findings from four large-scale studies about how boys learn best and combines these findings with insights about ongoing social and learning-style factors that affect learning in the classroom, plus lesson plans and anecdotes from real teachers working across all grade levels and subject areas. Cleveland's Pathways to Re-Engagement is a framework for decision making in the classroom. The Pathways model seeks to: Replace the underachieving boy's negative attitudes about learning; Reconnect each boy with school, with learning, and with a belief in himself as a competent learner; Rebuild learning skills that lead to success in school and in life; and Reduce the need for unproductive and distracting behaviors as a means of self-protection. | |
