The material in this report is drawn directly from an earlier, much larger report, Explaining and Addressing Gender Differences in the Compulsory School Sector - a literature review, by Dr Adrienne Alton-Lee and Dr Angelique Praat. The aim of the earlier report, which was released in July 2000, was to: * review the available literature relating to identifying and explaining gender differences * describe strategies used to address gender differences * and report available evidence of the effectiveness of those strategies The present report presents selected research examples and ideas from the main report and provides practical insights into issues of gender for teachers in the classroom.
