Raising the Achievement and Ambition of Boys in Secondary and FE

Drawing on current research, to cut through the myths, this course aims to clarify some of the arguments and, while it offers suggestions and approaches that can support teachers in raising the aspirations of boys, many approaches will work for all learners. There is no simple or ‘one-size-fits-all’ answer, but we will explore a range of practical ideas that have worked well, from changing whole-school cultures to supporting individuals to flourish.

• Gain clarity on the question of a difference between how boys and girls learn
• Critique and develop practical classroom strategies that engage and motivate boys
• Encourage both independence and group work that supports boys’ achievement
• Develop study and problem-solving skills for boys
