21st Century Boys
language, learning and literacy
For her book 21st Century Boys, Sue has looked specifically at how ‘toxic childhood syndrome’ can affect boys. She has brought these research findings together with her literacy expertise to create a day’s training course focusing on the developmental needs of boys from birth to 12 and their impact on literacy acquisition and learning across the curriculum.
For successful personalisation of learning, it is vital to take these developmental needs into account. This course provides primary teachers and managers with insights and practical starting points for
- developing boys’ language and listening skills
- engaging boys in first-hand, active learning
- providing ‘boy-friendly’ literacy teaching
- tackling disaffection before it begins
The course also looks at:
- The conflict between school and "cool"
- Literacy skills in the 21st century
- Tensions between traditional and digitla literacy
