TeachBoys.org & TeachGirls.org

TeachBoys.org is part of an education movement that understands the growing concerns of the discrepancy in the learning styles of the sexes and performance, especially in adolescent boys.

We are addressing concerns over literacy, ADHD, and depression in young males.

Young males today more then ever are not only questioning their roles in society, but also having a difficult time balancing new demands on them. There needs to be an emphasis on teaching emotional literacy to males.

Many young boys do poorly in school on account of not properly dealing with emotions. Teachboys.org aims to understand the fundamental difference in how boys need to be taught especially difficult ones.

Teaching advice for Elementary Boys:


• Use beadwork and other manipulatives to promote fine motor development. Boys are behind girls in this area when they start school.
• Place books on shelves all around the room so boys get used to their omnipresence.
• Make lessons experiential and kinesthetic.
• Keep verbal instructions to no more than one minute.
• Personalize the student's desk, coat rack, and cubby to increase his sense of attachment.
• Use male mentors and role models, such as fathers, grandfathers, or other male volunteers.
• Let boys nurture one another through healthy aggression and direct empathy.
