Create an attractive classroom environment. Research shows that girls learn better in an aesthetically pleasing environment. To appeal to students with various learning styles, encourage students to solve problems by multiple methods. Curriculum Content Use gender inclusive language. Avoid generalizations that stereotype women in certain roles.
Females tend to credit their achievements to luck rather than to their ability.
Analyze curricular materials for bias and supplement as needed. Take girls to an Expanding Your Horizons conference in your area. These conferences sponsored by AAUW, provide female students with access to workshops led by female professionals in the areas of math, science, technology, and engineering. Use toys to teach concepts in math and science. Set aside an area in the classroom to serve as a resource center that includes materials in career opportunities in math, science, technology, and engineering.
