'Boysterous' Learning - North East Regional Event
Tackling the issue of under-performing boys
Intended audience:
All Managers, Teachers, Tutors and Support Staff who work with boys.
Focus:
Why is it that boys under-perform and underachieve in schools and colleges? What can be done to transform this situation? How can we support boys to be successful in their learning?
“Improving the achievement of boys is a complex matter in which interlinked factors play important parts”. OFSTED 2003
This event provides a deep insight into what makes boys tick and practical strategies and skills that can raise their performance and achievement. This event is designed and delivered by Arnie Skelton and Julie Olsson, two of the most dynamic, inspirational and fun trainers in the education sector today. Arnie and Julie have extensive experience working with staff and learners in schools and colleges of further and higher education. They are specialist trainers and facilitators of learning and performance coaching in both the public and private sectors.
Purpose:
During this event you will:
- investigate difference between the genders – myth or reality?
- review the work already done in this area
- consider how the organisational context and culture affects boys’ learning
- discuss and develop strategies that raise boys’ achievement
- take away a checklist to guide further practice
A full set of course materials will be provided for delegates to use in their own organisation.
