South Sudan ini@a@ve aims to keep young girls in primary school
"Some of the boys used to threaten me because I got beGer results than them," said Nagomoro last week during a visit to Britain. Now a local government commissioner in Ibba county, she wants to make it easier for girls to get an educa*on by seLng up a boarding school for girls aged 10 and above – the point at which most drop out because of the compe*ng pressures from family, household chores, childcare and early pregnancy.

Bicycles in India • Before starDng the program in 2007, officials in Bihar, one
of India's poorest and least developed states, despaired over how to educate the state's females, whose literacy rate of 53 percent is more than 20 points below that of its males.
• "We found that the high school dropout rate soared when girls reached the ninth grade. This was primarily because there are fewer high schools and girls had to travel longer distances to get to school," said Anjani Kumar Singh, Bihar's principal secretary overseeing educaDon.
• The program was an instant success, with the number of girls registered in the ninth grade in Bihar's state schools more than tripling in four years, from 175,000 to 600,000.

Business • When you quanDfy the sorts of start-‐ups started by men versus
women, there is quanDfiable gender difference, if not a gap, according to newly published research by a doctoral candidate at the Carl H. Lindner College of Business.
• Indeed, the research by Diana Hechevarria on more than 10,000 different entrepreneurs across 52 coun@es found that women were 1.17 @mes more likely than men to pursue a venture with an environmental or social mission statement.
• “There’s a global trend towards narrowing the gender gap in entrepreneurship to create a favorable environment for social entrepreneurship and socially responsible venturing versus tradiDonal conceptualizaDons of entrepreneurship being solely for a profit venture. Thus, I think we will likely see more policy to encourage women to conDnue to pursue these types of start-‐ups.”

Medicine • Gender Gaps Discovered in Overall Use of Prescrip@on Drugs,
Adherence PaWerns and Medical Management • Women use more prescripDon drugs than men; yet they are not
prescribed proper amounts. In a new study presented at Women's Health 2012: The 20th Annual Congress by Medco Health SoluDons, Inc. and the Society for Women's Health Research (SWHR) women are prescribed more drugs than men, have poorer adherence rates to using the drugs than men, and, perhaps most surprisingly, lag behind men in receiving the appropriate drugs for their documented diseases.
• Historically, clinical trials have included predominantly men, but medicaDons affect men and women differently. Because sex differences in prescripDon drug absorpDon, metabolism and dosage have not been properly researched, women may be leh to suffer the consequences.

Memory and EmoDon
• Men are more likely than women to accurately remember unpleasant emo@onal experiences, whereas women are more likely to remember aWrac@ve experiences, a new study suggests.
• Previous research has shown not only that people remember emoDonally charged images more accurately than neutral ones, but also that our brains physically respond more to emoDonal images. However, research results have been inconsistent on whether pleasant or unpleasant pictures elicit greater brain acDvity in men and women.

Risk • Stress increases the differences in how men and women think about risk,
according to a newly published arDcle in Current Direc*ons in Psychological Science.
• When it comes to stress and gender there are some surprising differences, said Mara Mather, a professor of gerontology and psychology at the University of Southern California who co-‐wrote the paper with Nichole R. Lighthall, a PhD student in her lab.
• According to Mather, when men are under stress they are willing to take more risks and make decisions at a much faster pace than women. When women are under stress they tend to take fewer risks, choose more conserva@vely and take much longer to decide.
• These differences were most surprising for Mather. “We almost never see gender differences in our lab, but these gender differences were really striking.…In these studies we found males and females didn’t differ in laboratory tasks when they weren’t under stress. But when they were under stress they diverged.”

Aher School AcDviDes • Data from the InsDtute for Social Research at the University of Michigan
finds vast gender differences in parDcipaDon in extracurricular acDviDes for high school seniors. For example:
• • Slightly more than 11 percent of women were involved with the high school newspaper or yearbook. This is about double the rate for male high school seniors.
• • About 46 percent of male high school seniors were members of an athle@c team. Only 31.4 percent of female high school seniors were on an athleDc team. The percentage of women parDcipaDng in high school sports has dropped from 35 percent in 2004.
• • Some 13.1 percent of women who were high school seniors were members of student council or other school government body. This is more than double the rate for male high schools seniors.
• • More than 16 percent of female high school seniors were members of an academic club, compared to 11.6 percent of male high school seniors.
• • Thirty percent of female seniors par@cipated in music or the performing arts. For high school males, the parDcipaDon rate was 17.8 percent.

Sex Differences in MathemaDcs and Reading Achievement Are Inversely Related: Within-‐ and Across-‐
NaDon Assessment of 10 Years of PISA Data Gijsbert Stoet, David C. Geary
• We analyzed one decade of data collected by the Programme for InternaDonal Student Assessment (PISA), including the mathemaDcs and reading performance of nearly 1.5 million 15 year olds in 75 countries. Across naDons, boys scored higher than girls in mathemaDcs, but lower than girls in reading. The sex difference in reading was three Dmes as large as in mathemaDcs. There was considerable variaDon in the extent of the sex differences between naDons. There are countries without a sex difference in mathemaDcs performance, and in some countries girls scored higher than boys. Boys scored lower in reading in all naDons in all four PISA assessments (2000, 2003, 2006, 2009). Contrary to several previous studies, we found no evidence that the sex differences were related to naDons’ gender equality indicators. Further, paradoxically, sex differences in mathema@cs were consistently and strongly inversely correlated with sex differences in reading: Countries with a smaller sex difference in mathema@cs had a larger sex difference in reading and vice versa. We demonstrate that this was not merely a between-‐naDon, but also a within-‐naDon effect. This effect is related to relaDve changes in these sex differences across the performance conDnuum: We did not find a sex difference in mathemaDcs among the lowest performing students, but this is where the sex difference in reading was largest. In contrast, the sex difference in mathemaDcs was largest among the higher performing students, and this is where the sex difference in reading was smallest. The implicaDon is that if policy makers decide that changes in these sex differences are desired, different approaches will be needed to achieve this for reading and mathemaDcs. IntervenDons that focus on high-‐achieving girls in mathemaDcs and on low achieving boys in reading are likely to yield the strongest educaDonal benefits.

Classroom and School Awareness
• Interest Inventories – Find out what interests your boys and girls (hobbies, free Dme, on-‐line acDvity, sports, books, movies, etc.)
– Incorporate their interests into your examples and learning tasks
• Role Models – Students need to “see” themselves reflected in the content that you teach

Consider • Humans have systemaDc sex differences in brain-‐related behavior,
cogniDon, and paRern of mental illness risk. Our findings extend models first established in rodents, and suggest that in humans too, sex and sex steroids shape brain development in a spaDotemporally specific manner, within neural systems known to underpin sexually dimorphic behaviors. We speculate therefore that our finding of accelerated corDcal thickness gain with age in males compared with females within temporal poles is consistent with delayed maturaDon in males. – Longitudinally mapping the influence of sex and androgen signaling on

“There are four categories of learning-‐profile factors, and teachers can use them to plan curriculum and instrucDon that fit learners. There is some overlap in categories, but each has been well researched and found to be important for the learning process. A student’s learning style, intelligence preference, gender, and culture can influence learning profile. (How to Differen*ate Instruc*on in Mixed Ability Classrooms, 2001)

PlasDcity of the Brain
• “But, the very fact that three decades of special programs for girls in these subjects [math and science] has narrowed the gender gap demonstrates that performance is changeable and not carved in biological stone.” Bank, Barbara ed. Gender and EducaDon: An Encyclopedia Volume 1. Westport, CT: Praeger. (2007).
• Habits are but thoughts and acDons, which, through frequent repeDDon, have become more or less automaDc. … This cogniDve process is even more important when we realize that every Dme we think a thought or perform an act, a slight change takes place in the delicate nerve cells in some part of the brain, including the frontal and mid-‐brain areas. Learning Smarter page 21
• While we can’t erase – nor would we want to – all the differences between boys and girls, it’s clear that the size of the gaps depends on what parents emphasize and how teachers teach. Pink Brain, Blue Brain, page 16

Gender Differences are based upon research and averages. Not all boys are “all boy” in all areas and not all girls are “all girl.” Differences do NOT imply better or worse. Use this research to better understand your students, not to limit them. Based on averages Boys are not all-boy and girls are not all-girl Use to know your students better Do not use to limit students

Consider quotes on seeing … 1. The Essen*al Difference, page 76 One finds that most men and boys
are beRer able to spot movement than are girls and women.
2. Brain Based Learning Page 95 Men see beRer in brighter light; while women’s eyesight is superior at night. Females are more sensiDve to the red end of the spectrum; they excel at visual memory; are superior at interpreDng facial clues and context. … Women were able to store more random and irrelevant visual informaDon than men.
3. Cahill (2009) page 259 SubstanDal evidence indicates that the right
hemisphere is biased toward the processing of more global, ‘‘gist’’ aspects of a sDmulus or scene, while the leh hemisphere is biased toward more local, finer detail processing of the same sDmulus or scene.

• Overall: We gather informaDon visually. Color and movement affects our aRenDon. We focus on things that are interesDng to us.
• Boys tend to: – Pick up on the spaDal aspect of percepDon – Focus on the big picture – ARend to the movement of things more ohen – Be sensiDve to the blue end of the light spectrum

Consider quotes on engaging … 1. Teaching the Male Brain, page 49 StarDng around
ages 2 to 4 and lasDng at least unDl age 10 and perhaps later, boys may be more acDve than girls as a result of higher basic metabolism.
2. Real Boys, page 247 Some research suggests that, whereas many girls may prefer to learn by watching or listening, boys generally prefer to learn by doing, by engaging in some acDon-‐oriented task.

• Overall: Exercise gets blood to the brain bringing glucose for energy and oxygen; sDmulates proteins that keeps neurons connecDng.
• Boys tend to: – Be more acDve in general. – Invent ways to accomplish a task BEFORE
reading direcDons. – Start sweaDng at lower temperatures;
efficient in regulaDng body temperature. – Prefer physical interacDon with content.
• Girls tend to: – Gather informaDon through tacDle means;

Consider quotes on processing … 1. The Essen*al Difference, page 1 The female brain is predominately hard-‐wired for empathy.
The male brain is predominately hard-‐wired for understanding and building systems. 2. Nurturing the GiRed Female, page 66 A woman discovers herself through context and
relaDonships. 3. Pink Brain, Blue Brain, page 148 Overall, though, boys are slower than girls when it comes to
developing the self-‐control that is essenDal for success in school and other social situaDons. 4. He Said, She Said By Deborah Tannen ,
hRp://www.scienDficamerican.com/arDcle.cfm?id=he-‐said-‐she-‐said men’s talk tends to focus on hierarchy—compeDDon for relaDve power—whereas women’s tends to focus on connecDon—relaDve closeness or distance.
5. Sex differences in the neural basis of emo@onal memories Turhan Canli, John E. Desmond, Zuo Zhao, and John D. E. Gabrieli Women had significantly more brain regions where acDvaDon correlated with both ongoing evaluaDon of emoDonal experience and with subsequent memory for the most emoDonally arousing pictures. Greater overlap in brain regions sensiDve to current emoDon and contribuDng to subsequent memory may be a neural mechanism for emoDons to enhance memory more powerfully in women than in men.

• Overall: The more ways we work with informaDon the beRer we will be able to remember it. RepeDDon is also important.
• Girls tend to: – Consider the emoDonal aspect of informaDon and events ohen. – Give importance to the relaDonal aspect of informaDon and events. – Seek connecDon with content and others. – Remember informaDon through emoDonal details. – Have self-‐control at an earlier age; can see the long-‐term.
• Boys tend to:
– Focus on the task at hand. – Focus on the big picture. – Seek to order and prioriDze informaDon; hierarchy. – Be more impulsive; relevance tends to focus on the here and now.

Consider quotes on responding … 1. The Development of Sex Differences, pages 32-‐33 This is consistent with
McClelland’s (1953 The Achievement Mo*ve) finding that among women the level of achievement moDvaDon is not affected by an “arousal” treatment involving academic compeDDon, while among men it is increased.
2. Cahill (2009) page 258 Overall, the cogniDve outcomes of acute stress are significantly more posiDve in males than in females. … The effects of corDsol on working memory have also shown a sexually dimorphic paRern, such that a posiDve relaDonship is found in men, while the relaDonship in women is negaDve.
3. Under Threat, Women Bond, Men Withdraw, By Ingrid Wickelgren, April 19, 2010 The men under the influence of high corDsol levels showed less acDvity in a key face-‐processing region of the brain (the fusiform face area or FFA) than the unstressed men did, suggesDng that stressful situaDons diminish the ability of men to evaluate facial expressions. By contrast, the brains of the women under strain worked harder on the faces: in these females, the FFA was more acDve than it was in women who did not experience the corDsol boost.

• Overall: High stress can disconnect access to cerebral cortex. Stress can come from home situaDons, friendship issues, health issues, and school ability levels.
• Girls tend to: – Focus on the faces of other people. – Tend and befriend under stress.
• Boys tend to: – Seek compeDDon and respond posiDvely. – Become alert and focused on the task under acute
stress. – Fight or flight under stress.

Consider quotes on choosing … 1. Pink Brain, Blue Brain, page 237 In contrast to boys, who tend to view their success as a
maRer of natural mathemaDcal talent, girls are likelier to credit their success to “hard work.” 2. Pink Brain, Blue Brain, page 284 These studies tell us that there may indeed by inborn
differences in the orbital prefrontal cortex [earlier development in boys] that bias boys toward greater risk taking and lower fear.
3. Real Boys, page 8 As we’ll discuss more in this book, boys who do share their feelings ohen take longer to do so than girls go. …The fourth step involves what I call connec*on through ac*on. This means that rather than nudging a boy to sit down and share his feelings with us, we begin by simply joining him in an acDvity that he enjoys.
4. Girls Will Be Girls, page 26 They like to know that there is only one right answer … For now, I will just say that it is widely seen and accepted that most girls are far less open to ambiguity, and therefore risk-‐taking, than boys. … So it doesn’t take much to close down a girl’s divergent thinking.
5. Reducing the Gender Achievement Gap in College Science: A Classroom Study of Values Affirma@on Akira Miyake, Lauren E. Kost-‐Smith, Noah D. Finkelstein, Steven J. Pollock, Geoffrey L. Cohen and Tiffany A. Ito Values affirmaDon reduced the male-‐female performance and learning difference substanDally and elevated women's modal grades from the C to B range. Benefits were strongest for women who tended to endorse the stereotype that men do beRer than women in physics. A brief psychological intervenDon may be a promising way to address the gender gap in science performance and learning.

• Overall: Learning involves taking risks and making mistakes. Giving and ge�ng feedback in the learning process is criDcal. Specific praise and encouragement is key. MulDple aRempts at a task is necessary.
• Girls tend to: – See success coming from their own hard work and effort. – Seek the right answer; hesitate with uncertainty. – Seek input from others. – Seek affirmaDon.
• Boys tend to: – See success coming from their innate talents; overesDmate their abiliDes. – Be over confident about their abiliDes. – Rise to risks; seek them.

Equality verses Equity
• Where is Equality? – Input or Output? – Do we have equality of output at this Dme?
• Equity requires responsiveness in order to strive for equality of output
• Think about Reading Groups – Lab Groups
