Why Boys Fail : Saving Our Sons From an Educational System That's Leaving Them Behind
Publication Date: 2011-09-30
Boys are falling behind in school. The world has become more verbal; boys haven't. Even in their traditionally strong subjects of science and math, boys are hit at a young age with new educational approaches, stressing high-level reading and writing goals that they are developmentally unable to achieve. The gap between male and female achievement has reached the college level, where only 40 per cent of graduates next year will be male. "Why Boys Fail" examines the roots and repercussions of this problem and spells out the educational, political, social and economic challenges we face as we work to end it.

Helping Kids Achieve Their Best: understanding and using motivation in the classroom by D. M. Mcinerney
Publication Date: 2006-01-01
This very accessible book reflects the insight and breadth of understanding of an acknowledged expert. It also instructs in a most engaging fashion. While current theory and research provide a sound substantive base, the author has succeeded in speaking realistically and engagingly to those who must put theory into practice in the everyday world of school. It is not just a book about motivation, though it certainly handles that topic competently. It is above all a significant contribution to the practice of teaching, especially as it engagingly portrays challenges and solutions for eliciting a student's best efforts toward thoughtful learning. Unlike many, if not most, texts, this one is truly interactive in nature.
