HOW DO YOU GET YOUR STUDENTS TO MOVE UP THE TRIANGLE??

Parts Explained

The brain thinks from the bottom to top.

So teach from bottom to top.

Parts of the Brain

Triune Brain

Now time to think

What do you know about

boys and girls?

Mammalian -

Feeling

1st - Chat with your same sex buddies

at your table

2nd -Write down one characteristic of a

girl at the top of the pink paper and

one characteristic of a boy at the

top of the blue paper.

Reptilian -

Survival

Let's Play Steal a Seat

The Big Question is...

1 - Your table will group with another table.

2 - Set-up your chairs like it is musical chairs.

3 - Let's play "Steal a Seat". I will explain the rules after the first round of music plays. You can also find the rules in your handout.

HOW DO MALE AND FEMALE

BRAINS DIFFER???

Female

Brain

What a girl needs

in the classroom?

Male

Brain

What a boy needs

in the classroom?

What do you think knowing what you know about men and women?

If we do not have enough time/space,

we will play Rapid Review.

Cerebrum is used

more and constantly

going. Can multi-task.

Allow girls to use

their multi-tasking, reflecting,

and analyzing abilities.

Cerebral Cortex is

bigger on right side &

slower processing speed

Boys need abstract problems

and to relate things spatially. They need wait time to process information.

...what did you say in the beginning of this presentation?

(Hooker & Lewis, 2012)

Cerebral Cortex is

thicker on left side.

Girls need to communicate

and use their linguistic skills.

Boys need to get moving in the

classroom. They respond to

kinesthetic lessons.

Bansal Ganglia - aka

controls movement -

engages quicker in

males

Same as above. Remember

that this may cause them to

be more dramatic.

Corpus Callosum is thicker.

Can process info quickly,

connect language and

feelings. Hypersensitive.

Time to do some

reading/ research

of our own.

Don't make them mad. In all

seriousness - do activities

that can excite as well as do

activities that calm the emotions.

Amygdala is bigger in

males. They tend to

anger more quickly.

Thalamus processes data

faster in females. Stress

at "that time of month."

Be mindful of emotions and

try to decrease stress in classroom.

Show patience. Movement in

classroom.

Cerebellum is bigger in

males. Less impulse

control.

  • Two-column notes
  • Jigsaw

Hippocampus is larger.

Increased memory.

Allow girls to utilize their

ability to remember info.

(Gurian, 2011)

What the research says about boys:

Let's Try Some Activities:

Great review activity

Prefrontal Cortex - executive functioning -

develops faster for women and is larger. It also restrains aggression more in women. Does not fully develop until the age of 25 (Tyre & Scelfo, 2006).

  • Keep 'em moving
  • Make it Visual
  • Give Choice
  • Bring them together
  • Make it Real
  • Do art and music
  • Bond with them
  • Build character
  • Wavelength with Parent

What's in your wallet/purse

Letter Lottery

  • Female performance on writing exams drops by 14-20 % during their menstrual cycle.
  • Between 2000-2005, the number of boys from birth to 19 being prescribed ADHD meds grew by 48%.
  • 67% of all women avoid certain activities due to feeling bad about their looks.
  • 57% of all girls say they don't always tell their parents certain things because they don't want them to think badly of them.
  • The educational system is better organized to match the female brain development.

"Boys represent 90% of discipline problems, 80% of the dropouts, and 2/3 of the identified learning disabled in America's classrooms" (Golon, 2007).

Golon's suggestions:

-Allow for ample hands-on learning opportunities

-Maintain a sufficient level of challenge

-Use symbolism, charts, graphs, diagrams

-Allow movement

-Give plenty of work space

-Incorporate more images

-Use computers/media often

(2007).

Great ice breaker

"More levels of estrogen, cortisol and dopamine can cause a female to be more stressed by emotional conflict than her male counterpart" (2006).

Great review activity or ice breaker

Girls enter puberty sooner = hormone fluctuation

(Hooker & Lewis, 2012)
