Two summers ago I read some books by Dr. Leonard Sax, M.D. about dealing with boys in the classroom. Though he is not a believer, his observations and recommendations resonated with me. I have since put together a workshop presentation that I have taught a few times now. The homeschool moms and lady teachers seem to really enjoy the content of this workshop! Teaching boys is definitely different than teaching girls — but equipped with these insights and tips you can more confidently teach your boys.

So, here are some of the resources that may be helpful if you want to research the topic more:

• Handout from my workshop
• Link to the Prezi presentation I recently put together (still learning now to use Prezi – so don’t expect too much!)
• Here’s an article I wrote to help homeschool moms with boys a few years ago: Tim’s Top Ten Tips for Teaching Teen Testosterone
• Here’s an article I wrote about some books that teens boys enjoy reading
• Below are links to Dr. Sax’s books — I also have reviewed his books with summaries (see links below)
• The main book I recommend is Why Gender Matters: What Parents and Teachers Need to Know about the Emerging Science of Sex Differences
• My review of “Boys Adrift”
• My review of “Girls on the Edge”
