COURSE DESCRIPTION
Single Gender Education: A Course for Teachers New to Boys Schools, created by the IBSC and OSB, is designed as an orientation to boys’ schools and all-boys' learning environments for newly hired teachers. Participants connect and collaborate with each other to explore best practices and research in boys’ schools classrooms. Moreover, participants learn from panels of school heads, alumni, experienced teachers, and new teachers, and therefore are introduced to community members and leaders from around the world. 

This course allows participants to connect and collaborate with each other to explore the possible implications of research on the classroom environment. The course also explores ways to create a collaborative student-centered learning space, including how technology can help achieve these goals. Ultimately, teachers will gain a clearer understanding of what it means to work in boys' school and ways that one can create a classroom atmosphere and curriculum that maximizes how boys learn. They will also have the opportunity to create a personal network of peers with which to further work, engage, and explore.

By the end of the four week experience, teachers:
  • have a clear sense of what it means to work in an all-boys school; 
  • understand ways that teachers can create a classroom atmosphere and curriculum that maximizes how boys learn; and 
  • connect to an international cohort of first-year faculty members.
COURSE FORMAT
This course is four weeks in length and requires participants to spend approximately four hours a week engaged in the class. The class is entirely asynchronous — meaning that there is no specific required time to be online—and class-paced so that participants can collaborate and engage in discussion.

"I thought I knew a lot about teaching boys, but this course open my eyes to many aspects about teaching them that I wasn't aware about. It is a great introduction to teaching at an all boys school!" -James McRae, ​Westmount, Québec, Canada

"
My favourite aspect of the course was the exposure to different points of view. I got so much out of reading my peers' responses, watching the videos and hearing the instructor perspectives; both in the introductory video clips and the commentary. What a neat way to share global perspectives!"-Anna Vasilevski, Vancouver, British Columbia​, Canada
