"Gender in the Classroom is intended to be used across the teacher education curriculum - from subject-specific methods courses to foundations, from educational psychology to student teaching, it can be adopted for an entire program or several instructors can adopt it jointly, or a single instructor can adopt it as one of several or a supplementary text for a course. A comprehensive instructor's Manual provides teaching ideas and materials for teacher educators who adopt the text." "Each chapter offers practical information and skills about gender and sex differences, curriculum, and specific teaching methods. Written in a lively style, the text features a number of interactive activities to engage and instruct the reader."--BOOK JACKET.
