SP36: Let's hear it for the boys

VATE State Conference 2020, Let's hear it for the boys.

Presented by Lauren Hall & Lauren Flint, St Joseph's College Geelong.

Our boys are struggling in English. Lack of reading, inability to engage with the material or see the relevance and in amongst all of this, a reluctance to tell their stories. This presentation aims to highlight the extensive steps we have taken to re-engage boys in the middle years [specifically Years 7 and 8] of English through epic text selection, targeted and explicit teaching of skills, data analysis, intervention programs and building a scope and sequence through to VCE.
