." . .the best, most practical book about teaching boys that I have ever read."
--Michael Thompson, co-author, Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys and Best Friends, Worst Enemies
Challenging the widely held cultural impression that boys are stubbornly resistant to schooling, Reaching Boys, Teaching Boys features more than 100 detailed examples of classroom activities--along with real-world teaching techniques--that have proven effective with male students. Based on a wide-ranging, worldwide study of more than 1,500 boys and 1,000 teachers, Reichert and Hawley reveal what boys need in order to want to succeed in school and offer tips for forging successful relationships with boys. Woven throughout the book is moving testimony from both boys and teachers that validates the effectiveness of these lessons.
PRAISE FOR REACHING BOYS, TEACHING BOYS
"It is becoming clear to all of us--teachers, administrators, parents, and policy makers--that our schools must evolve in order to do a better job educating our young men. It won't happen overnight but it must happen. How to start? Open this book and turn to Chapter One. You'll be taking the first step on what I promise you will be a fascinating journey."
--from the foreword by PEG TYRE, bestselling author of The Trouble With Boys
"Like true explorers, Reichert and Hawley have ventured into the unknown and returned with a remarkable gift: a map for guiding boys toward their full potential. If you are a teacher--or if you want to understand the unique combination of factors that ignites boys to learn--you need to buy this urgent, timely, and terrific book."
--DANIEL COYLE, bestselling author of The Talent Code: Greatness Isn't Born. It's Grown. Here's How
"At long last we find out 'what works' for connecting boys to their studies. In this remarkable book, Michael Reichert and Richard Hawley present a practical and inspiring guide for teachers at all levels."
