Boys in My Classroom

Boys in My Classroom CD E-Library $99
A new CD E-library that shows in practical ways, how teachers can get the best out of the boys in their classrooms. There is no doubt that boys need a different approach. It is often felt that girls alone have emotional needs, but that is not true. Boys need reassurance and confidence boosting as well. The challenge for teachers is how to communicate so that boys will listen, be motivated to get involved and channel their energy. It is vital to have an understanding so that boys can be prevented from underachieving.

Boys in the Picture, Declining Achievement, Must Boys be Boys, Raising Boys Achievement
Education of Boys Report, Boys Resources

It sounds like good communication is the key to mentoring. Can you explain "action talk?"
Action talk involves giving boys a little bit of space, letting them come to us, creating what I call a shame-free zone or safety zone -- both physically and emotionally -- and then playing or doing something with them. It could be Legos or chess, playing baseball or going for a walk. Many people find that going for a ride in the car is perfect; it's encapsulated, it's safe, and the boy can look away. In that safe environment, while doing something, you don't bombard him with questions, you just let him know that you are there, and you will genuinely listen. If he doesn't talk, you can give him an entry like, "You seem a little down lately," or you can share something about yourself. That kind of safe environment, that kind of using action first, without pushing to words, allows boys to open up. Sometimes to tear up and cry, sometimes to talk eloquently, sometimes to just begin a conversation that can be helped along by the adult.

This CD E-library contains readings and advice on male role modelling and mentoring boys for improved achievement. The Boys PhotoBox is a compilation of copyright-free graphics of male iconography plus the informative PhotoBox manual.
