As teachers, we have the power to give each student the best chances for their future, However, what happens if students are affected by gender stereotypes? This can lead students down a narrow path which can lead to anger, depression and various other issues around their wellbeing.
In this course, we will look at how
- Gender stereotypes shape students through their childhood
- To recognize the gender stereotypes that occur in school and the effects they can have on students.
- How teachers may affect students with our unconscious bias.
We will also look at practical methods
- on how to deal with gender stereotypes when they occur in the classroom and how to create meaningful lessons dealing with gender that would allow critical thinking around this topic.
