Teaching Boys and Other Children Who Would Rather Make Forts All Day

Isn’t that the greatest title ever? When I was at the CHEC homeschool conference in Denver, that was one of the workshops that caught my eye. Not to mention that it was being presented by Andrew Pudewa, one of my favorite conference speakers. So, Noelle graciously agreed to man the booth while I attended the workshop on Saturday afternoon. The large room was overflowing with conference-goers, most of whom were probably looking for some practical help for their own in-house fort-builders! I’m sure they were not disappointed.

Here’s the outline from the workshop:

I. Profound Neuro-physiological Differences Between Boys and Girls

II. Implications for the Classroom

III. The Science (and Art) of Motivation

IV. The Two Secret Weapons

I didn’t get a copy of the recording at the convention, but I just checked on-line at the recording company website and you can download the mp3 of this workshop for only $4.00. No shipping; plus then you can listen to it right away! Anyone who teaches children, whether homeschooling or otherwise, will find insightful nuggets that provide greater understanding and prompt thoughtful consideration in planning lessons. I know this will be a great help to me in my teaching!
