Gender Responsive Teaching at MICDS
At MICDS, we use multiple teaching tools to best serve our individual students. We know that boys’ and girls’ brains develop in different ways, especially during the middle school years. Gender Responsive Teaching helps us tailor their learning experience to leverage these differences. While avoiding the trap of gender stereotyping, we use what we know about the ways boys and girls learn to best teach our students. This focus allows us to optimize each child’s learning experience, academically and socially.
