Breaking Through Barriers to Boys' Achievement

by
Gary Wilson

In this ground-breaking book Gary Wilson presents the full picture as to why boys underachieve at school and what can be done about it. The emphasis is not so simply increasing academic achievement but developing a 'caring masculinity.' It delivers proven breakthrough strategies for issues such as:


		how to engage boys in the life of the school
		switching boys on to the curriculum especially literacy
		creating the right culture for learning
		developing boys' emotional intelligence and self-esteem
		how to turn the peer police into a positive force for good
		how to hit all the right buttons for boys – without disadvantaging girls.

GARY WILSON is a freelance consultant and author, and chair of the National Education Breakthrough Programme on Raising Boys' Achievement. He wrote Using the National Healthy School Standard to Raise Boys' Achievement for the DFES and in 2003 was made the country's first LEA school improvement officer with specific responsibility for raising boys' achievement.
