Today in our professional training without students at school, we read and discussed an article discussing male vs. female brain patterns in learning. Males are characterized as more physically active, less skilled verbally, and needing more physical stimuli in learning situations, while girls are more able to focus, despite distractions. The recommendations were to accommodate the males in their frenetic modes. I view this daily in my art classes with middle schoolers. I am also thinking this translates later in life to our own male/female communication problems between sexes.
Anyone else here have an opinion?
