Description:... Have you ever wished that boys and girls could get along better in the classroom? Work together more productively? Be more friendly and respectful towards each other? Boys and Girls Togetherpresents ten practical strategies from classroom teachers for bridging the classroom gender gap.

• raising teachers' awareness of their current classroom gender climate;
• managing the classroom to that boys and girls have opportunities to work, talk, and play together in a safe environment;
• evaluating and supplementing curriculum materials to ensure greater gender balance;
