Las Vegas Schools Kicks Off Several Events For The New School Year
Las Vegas Schools Cheyenne High School Host Specialist in Gender Neutral Education
Dr. Leonard Sax, one of the foremost authorities in the success of gender neutral education, addressed the teachers and staff of Cheyenne High School. This was part of a professional development day scheduled before the start of the new school year. Dr. Sax is an author, psychologist, and family physician who has become a leading scholar on the topic of how gender differences affect student learning.
Dr. Saxs day long presentation at Las Vegas Schools Cheyenne High School was based on twenty years of educational research and his most recent book, Why Gender Matters. Cheyenne High School has been using gender based instruction for a few years now based on the idea that males and females learn differently. Students who experience gender based education have been shown to ask more questions and have fewer problems with discipline. Dr. Saxs workshop offered practical advice on discipline, gender stereotypes, and helping students avoid smoking, drugs and alcohol.
