Description

"Coming Into Her Own examines the progress in girls' and women's educational experiences since the 1960s and attempts to answer the question: What are optimal educational environments for girls and women? Written by experts in the fields of education, psychology, and women's studies, this comprehensive collection examines how classroom environments, social climates, teacher-student relationships, and the differing contexts of coed and single-sex institutions can influence girls' and women's educational success. This book also offers a range of approaches, models, and innovative strategies - such as those that emphasize mentoring and challenging educational cultures - that can profoundly transform the school and campus climates to optimize educational experience."--BOOK JACKET.
