Q1: What are your greatest challenges teaching/working w/boy learners? #ECET2

Chemteach201 Apr 24 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1. I find boy learners to either be too serious OR very anxious/animated. Maturity + comfort w/ content may contribute. #ECET2

#ecet2 A1 Helping them feel comfortable in their own skin. They are searching for an identity and that presents many challenges for them.

DerekLong929 Apr 24 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@mssackstein Even when we know what they are interested in, we need to make the connection to school. #thestruggleisreal #ecet2

A1. My boy learners expect to be active more than non active. They push me to be a better T find/implement various inst. strategies #ecet2

timneedles Apr 24 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 Maturity is generally the greatest difficulty when I work with boy learners- girls are often way ahead, it's fun but challenging!#ECET2

barrykid1 Apr 24 @ 8:10 PM EDT

can you expand on respect and connect? #ecet2 @Orozcoml @jlwf

mssackstein Apr 24 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@DerekLong929 agree. Finding a way to make it relevant and meaningful is always is a challenge, but a worthwhile practice to try #ecet2

Chemteach201 Apr 24 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@16keller1 Yes Priscilla-thinking motivates the actions i see. #ECET2

it can be very hard to have male Ss unlearn a distaste for school once they've been marginalized #ecet2 @DerekLong929

@jlwf @barrykid1 A1 #ECET2 Keeping boys motivated to read.

Chemteach201 Apr 24 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@snydesn2 Tom-this is great insight for me. My more motivated boys are comfortable in their skin and w/ being known as 'smart'. #ECET2

mssackstein Apr 24 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Too many stereotypes that are hard to break through and it's more important to get boys to see themselves dif #ecet2 https://t.co/izsyfaTBFQ

uchangenow Apr 24 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A2: Dealing with the negative stereotypes of boys in the classroom. Boys are often viewed from a deficit model. #ECET2

MrDaneWest Apr 24 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: Maturity. Not wanting to seem dumb but also don't want to seem too smart (nerdy). #ecet2

barrykid1 Apr 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

writing for boys can be challenging, too, as so much of writing is emotional, boys are often not there yet #ecet2 @suzydfauria @jlwf

Arsant10 Apr 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@RashidaJGreen right on time for Q1! Welcome. #ecet2

jlwf Apr 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Q2: Be honest: how well do you think you understand boy development? Why? #ecet2

DerekLong929 Apr 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2: I have learned a lot more about boy development in raising 2 boys than I have ever learned in college and grad. school. #ECET2

TeachDB17 Apr 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1. My boy learners also like to explore. #ecet2

ALajinian Apr 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: I am careful to not generalize, but in math, some are answer-driven and miss out on the process. #ecet2

mssackstein Apr 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@jlwf Agreed. Need to always encourage #ecet2

RashidaJGreen Apr 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@mssackstein ...also to motivate, engage, and inspire them! Important to give them male role models #ECET2

barrykid1 Apr 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

often, it's about listening to what boys mean as opposed to what they say, many times they act tougher than they are #ecet2 @jlwf

mssackstein Apr 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@jlwf It only takes once, but we can change that in our spaces #ecet2 Notice and change reaction for sure

JasonKohls Apr 24 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@barrykid1 @suzydfauria @jlwf This is true. Sometimes, though, allowing them to write about "characters" frees them. #ECET2

tkSciGuy Apr 24 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2--especially in middle school, development is not linear. Boys may move forward today and regress tomorrow. #ECET2

TerryBrennan211 Apr 24 @ 8:13 PM EDT

#ECET2 @jlwf What r the key characteristics adolescent boys need to learn to navigate issues they'll face in High School & College years?

barrykid1 Apr 24 @ 8:13 PM EDT

middle school boys are battling so many different things, from hormones, to girls, to reputation #ecet2 @Orozcoml @jlwf

MrDaneWest Apr 24 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: Definitely not as well as I would like to - a little disconcerting seeing as how I went through it. #ecet2

A2: Plenty of great resources available to understand male learners. Numerous articles and books. Research is required. #ECET2

barrykid1 Apr 24 @ 8:14 PM EDT

often boys r drawn 2 war and violence in their stories, it is normal for them, a chance to express, we need to work within that #ecet2 @jlwf

A2. The oldest and only girl in a family of four I have seen my brothers grow/develop. The longer I teach the more I learn. #ecet2

SJNeill13 Apr 24 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: I am no boy expert, but I am raising 2; I try to think about how they learn differently than my nieces = apply that to my class. #ecet2

@TerryBrennan211 Thanks for joining us, Terry! #ECET2

barrykid1 Apr 24 @ 8:15 PM EDT

true, at the age I teach, I'm looking for them to learn to like to write, be comfortable as writers, that means vulnerability @jlwf #ECET2

mssackstein Apr 24 @ 8:15 PM EDT

I know what I've learned as a parent and through 14 years of teaching. I listen a lot but still have so much to understand #ecet2

Q2: Be honest: how well do you think you understand boy development? Why? #ecet2

jlwf Apr 24 @ 8:16 PM EDT

.@barrykid1 Does it have to? Or could they learn to love writing by unspooling action stories? #ECET2

barrykid1 Apr 24 @ 8:16 PM EDT

of course, they test to see if you can hang, what your threshold is, most motivations are from place of fear @Orozcoml @jlwf #ECET2

mssackstein Apr 24 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@SJNeill13 I'm trying to learn with my son too. The boys I teach share their experiences too #ecet2

A3--patience and understanding. Don't judge the action, look for the motivation--the "why' #ECET2 (and lots of movement/action)

RashidaJGreen Apr 24 @ 8:19 PM EDT

TeachDB17 Apr 24 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3. Understanding, freedom to express themselves in productive ways, a voice. Boys may come off as rambunctious, don't shut them down #ecet2

@tkSciGuy so should we make kids more compliant or schools less restrictive? #ecet2

this travels w/boys through high school, especially in small towns @PMcPeake1 @Orozcoml @jlwf #ECET2

@tkSciGuy No doubt! #ecet2 They need to become resilient. Never giving up on them helps.

DanKraiza Apr 24 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A4 #ECET2 I try to reach them off to the side-find some connection then try to make learning relevant to them-need to see the connection.

TeachDB17 Apr 24 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A4. Just with any student build a relationship. Learn about their motivators, interests, connect these things to their learning. #ecet2
