Gender Differences in Classroom

Question to teachers:

How do boys and girls differ? Are these differences making them less qualified in class? 

  

    Gender differences is another challenge facing teachers in class.It is not the diversity that matters, it is the gender bias against girls or boys that matters, and the big concern of balancing between them. 

     Here are some guidelines to follow when working in such classes. Firstly, teachers need to be aware of their beliefs and behavior, example if you are teaching mathematics forget the idea that boys are better than girls and bring problems to solve based on student's needs not gender diversity. Secondly, you as a teacher need to assure that the language and verbal interactions you're using are gender free and balanced. Also assign group work that ensure boys and girls working together. Finally, show respect to all students and challenge both girls and boys.

     Teachers are certainly not the primary cause of gender role differences, but they influence them a lot by their responses.
