Who is the Trainer?
This session has been designed and is delivered by ex-Deputy Headteacher, Curriculum and English Subject Leader, Hazel Green. She has successfully worked on narrowing the gender gap in her own schools and as a Leading Literacy Teacher for Essex, has supported other schools in this process.
How will my School benefit?
During this session, delegates will consider how societal expectations and behaviours impact on boys’ interest and engagement in literacy. They will identify ways in which this is transferred into their school environment, in terms of social and emotional interactions and teaching and learning behaviours in their classrooms. This will lead to the development of new ideas and approaches to implement in the classroom, and in the wider school environment, to engage boys.

How will my students benefit?
This session has boys’ perspectives about reading and writing at its very heart. Practitioners will be actively engaged in identifying ways in which to make learning more relevant and accessible for boys within their school and classroom. With increased engagement in literacy, boys will make accelerated progress in both their reading and writing.
