Boys are often referred to as educational losers today. Although this label is dramatized, the poorer academic success of boys indicates that there are difficulties; moreover, teachers increasingly experience their behavior as challenging. So far, discussions about boys in school have been stuck in facts and clichés. There are hardly any ideas for change. But where can teachers start to encourage boys to behave less disruptively? What do boys need to cope well with school and not fall further behind? What can teachers contribute to this? This practical book answers these and other questions. It provides background knowledge to understand and explain "masculine" behavior in boys, develops relevant application topics for working with boys in school, and includes suggestions for building relationships.
