Title: The perfect gift for an educator.
Review: If you know an inovative teacher who tries new startegies to reach all students this book is the perfect gift. Michael Gurian describes how 'brain based research' has been combined with practical teaching, mentoring, and parenting techniques and applied in classrooms over a two year period in Missouri. Chapters 1 and 2 clearly describe how male and female brains differ depending upon hormonal, biological, developmental, and structual change. Once this premise is accepted, practical techniques for educating both boys and girls within the ultimate classroom are explained complete with documented annecdotes. Chapters 4-6 delve into specific grade levels from pre-school through high school graduation. Yes, boys and girls learn differently. Yes, we can use this difference to our and their benefit. An educator will enjoy reading this very practical book.
