Spark MIT Inquiry
Problem:
When looking at National standards data our boys are underachieving when compared with our girls.
Evidence so far:
Last year in our school the boys in Year 6 scored 50 points lower on their e-asTTle writing test than the girls in the same cohort, with far fewer high achieving male outliers. The extended literacy programme was made up of majority female learners, with 23 girls and only 6 boys.
From the cohort I will be teaching this year, our girls scored better against the national standard than our boys.
What I inquired into:
What motivates boys to write. How I can support boys achievement in writing.
