Publisher's Synopsis
How do personal and social development, schooling and the development of gender identity interact?. What is institutional sexism?. How is the pastoral organization of our schools affecting pupils' views on gender?. Do we try to match our aims and objectives with outcomes, and promote discussion with pupils, or do we reinforce stereotypes and bolster prejudice?.;This book brings together two important aspects of the work of all teachers: pastoral care and gender. It looks at three major aspects of pastoral care: the institutional, the curricular, and casework, and identifies the important gender considerations in each case.
