DAY 1 Morning
CASE STUDIES
Is Gendered Achievement an issue in your school?
Do boys or Grls do better?
Write a case study of your school
Identify general patterns, give causes and explore possibloke causes.
If you come from the same school you may work as a group. Present the case to your group.
DAY 2 Afternoon
Do we have a problem, Scarborough?
If you are in a primary school, identify is there is a problem of gendered achievement.
Secondary school personnel can work with their feeder primary schools.
- You will be supplied with 2009 and 2013 National Test Data-both the norm and standards referenced indices.
- Your tutor will take you through one calculation
- For the TOTAL SCORES, calculate the meaNs for males and females.
- Insert two cells below and put in the formulae for means and standard deviations
- For each cohort, you must calculate four scores-Math 1 and Math 3 and Lang 1 and Lang 3
- Use one of the effect size calculators below to calculate Cohen's d-the standrdized mean difference. Place the Males in Group 1.
- You need to work out the Standard Deviation in EXCEL
Use the rubric to judge whether there is a difference
If the difference is medium sized or large (or above 0.35), also calculate d for the strands
Compare the number of males and females below the lowest benchmark. Calculate the ratio.
Example-Belle Garden AC Primary
No. of Females=22; Mean=60.85; SD=13.28; No Below Benchmark=0'
No. of Males=23; Mean= 40.65; SD=20.04; No Below benchmark=8
Cohen's d=*1.19
Inference= LARGE
| Relative Size of Cohen's d | |
| negligible effect (>= -0.15 and <.15) | |
| small effect (>=.15 and <.40) | |
| medium effect (>=.40 and <.75) | |
| large effect (>=.75 and <1.10) | |
| very large effect (>=1.10 and <1.45) | |
| huge effect >1.45 | |
DAY 2 Morning

3) Focusing upon motivation and engagement
4) Diagnosing weaknesses in achievement and behaviour
DAY 4 Morning
READING
The Screening Tool
DAY 4 Afternoon
Ilustrate/Demosntrate through role play any ONE strategy for teaching writing to boys.
DAY 5 Morning Only
Choose one of the following and write a case study an individual student you have experienced.
Identify incidents/events, possible causes, and apply the theory you have learned.
A troubled boy
A ladette
A low achieving boy
A violent boy

WRITING A CASE STUDY
A case study is about a real life situation
- Describe the situation focusing on the selected problem
- Conduct an analysis by refelcting on the appropriate theory
- Suggest possible solutions
USING THE RIGHT ASSESSMENT TOOL TO COLLECT DATA
Use National Tests for Whole School and Classroom Screening
Use Screening tools for School and Classroom Screening
Use continuous formative assessments and running records to monitor student progress
Use diagnostic tests such as DIBELS to identify specific weaknesses of individual stduents
