Nurturing Boys

Why do boys feel the need to create weapons, look for challenge and risk and how can we support this need in a motivational    learning environment? This course will explore how to create positive learning spaces that enable boys and kinaesthetic children to thrive both indoors and outdoors. It is designed to look at current research and strategies to support boys’ sense of identity and wellbeing and to extend their shared sustained thinking.
