Teaching girls: how teachers and parents can reach their brains and hearts

Women continue to be underrepresented in the high paying fields of science, math, and engineering.

They receive only about 80% of the salary of men holding similar jobs in any field and still face glass ceilings that limit their attainment.

How do we educate and empower girls to surmount these barriers and succeed throughout their lives?

This book reveals the kinds of teaching that engages girls intellectually, fosters their creativity, and bolsters their confidence.

Drawing on descriptions of great lessons written by nearly 2,000 students and teachers, it offers a practical, accessible guide to anyone who wants to find better ways to help young women succeed.
