Challenging the widely-held cultural impression that boys are stubbornly resistant to schooling, Reaching Boys, Teaching Boys features more than 100 detailed examples of classroom activities—along with real-world teaching techniques—that have proven effective with male students. 

Based on a wide-ranging, worldwide study of more than 1,500 boys and 1,000 teachers, the book reveals what boys need in order to want to succeed in school and offers tips for forging successful relationships with boys. Woven throughout the book is moving testimony from both boys and teachers that validates the effectiveness of these lessons.
