As a result, girls are now having stronger educational experiences. More classrooms use teaching techniques that appeal to a wider variety of learning styles. Cooperative groupings and hands-on experiences, which appeal to girls' learning styles, are integrated throughout the curriculum. Girls' test scores and enrollments have risen perceptibly in mathematics and science. Instructional materials have been improved to represent the diversity of our student populations and to eliminate bias.
Additional progress is needed.
Scores on Advanced Placement exams can improve. Girls continue to be heavily outnumbered by boys in physics courses. Boys significantly outnumber girls in higher-skill computer courses. Girls tend to cluster in lower-end data entry and word processing classes.
