Over 400 public schools in the United States offer single-gender classes or programs, and the number of schools contemplating such initiatives is growing at a rapid pace. In this book, David W. Chadwell, the first state coordinator for single-gender programs, offers a step-by-step process with practical planning tools for implementing high-quality single-sex programs and schools. Organized into three parts-considering, designing, and implementing single-gender initiatives in local school sites and districts-this resource includes detailed, essential information on: restructuring to accommodate single-gender classes; communicating with parents and overcoming resistance; understanding relevant legal issues; facilitating instructional changes; creating a 1- to 3-year plan. Featuring numerous vignettes, current demographic data, and critical insights for professional development, A Gendered Choice provides everything educators need to know about creating single-gender schools or programs. 650 0 $a Single-sex schools $z United States. 650 0 $a Single-sex classes (Education) $z United States. 650 0 $a School management and organization. 650 07 $a Geschlechtertrennung. $2 swd 650 07 $a Schulleitung. $2 swd 650 07 $a Unterricht. $2 swd 651 7 $a USA. $2 swd 856 42 $z Additional Information at Google Books $u http://books.google.com/books?isbn=9781412972598 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825050015.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20111029010735.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5AF9C4DC01F311E1BF7341D16AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b IOKInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
