In the field of educational effectiveness research, the influence of a class' student body on students' individual achievement scores has been a popular research interest for many years.

In one school, boys in the…

Goff, Wilhelmina D.; Johnson, Norman J. – Forum on Public Policy Online, 2008
Over thousands of years the brain has evolved. Our ability to change its structure is quite limited. What we can do is change the way we work with the brain and appeal to it. These notions are the building blocks for this paper. Three strands of intellectual work (neuroscience to include social intelligence, pedagogy, and environment/culture) are…

Tsolidis, Georgina; Dobson, Ian R. – Gender & Education, 2006
The current debate about boys' education risks taking us back decades in terms of understanding the significance of gender in relation to education.

Murphy, Patricia; Ivinson, Gabrielle – Teacher Development, 2005
Formative assessment is intended to develop students' capacity to learn and increase the effectiveness of teaching.

In recent years concern about sex group differences in achievement has led…

When a New York school district found a majority of its middle school students scoring below an acceptable level in four major academic areas, it tried many interventions, including a three-year experiment in single-gender classrooms.
