Process
Use cooperative or collaborative methods with diverse groups rather than competition between boys and girls.
Find creative ways of grouping students other than by gender. Try to group students by season born, or favorite color, etc.
Give students as many choices as possible with reading lists, research topics, or classroom projects.
-
Girls are much more likely to enjoy working by themselves whereas boys are typically best when working in groups, especially with other boys.
Product
-
Where possible, allow students to show their learning through various forms of expression such as painting, speaking, dancing, singing, etc.
Content
Be cognizant of gender bias in textbooks, assigned books, worksheets, etc.
Make educational materials in the classroom and library as diverse as possible to encourage growth and understanding of different backgrounds.
Use a blend of lectures and hands-on activities. Boys tend to learn best with hands on activities while girls tend to learn best by listening.
Use a blend of time structure in the classroom. Boys generally prefer structure and routine when learning while girls prefer learning styles to be changed to keep them engaged.
Environment
Do not assume heterosexuality. Making this assumption diminishes the importance of students and staff that identify as LGBTQI.

Socioeconomic Status
Process
-
Make grading standards clear and concise so all students have a solid understanding of expectations.
Product
Allow students to rewrite and revise papers multiple times in order to get to the standard set for the class.
Content
Employ materials that cover more than just the traditional view of the subject. Help students see themselves in the material.
-
Environment
Encourage respect and mutual understanding for all students in the classroom regardless of socioeconomic status.
Understand that many low socioeconomic status students are unable to put in the adequate time outside the classrooms due to work or family obligations. Be as accommodating as possible.
