Boys and Girls Learn Differently Seminar

As a mom of different gender kids, I am very interested in this free parenting seminar hosted by the Oakville Parent Education Network and thought momstown should pass along.

Boys and Girls Learn Differently Seminar

The Oakville Parent Education Network Invites you to attend the following event about how gender differences influence learning and behaviour.
  • Wednesday, January 25, 2012
  • 7 – 9 p.m.
  • Holy Trinity Secondary School
    2420 Sixth Line, Oakville view map external link
  • Free Admission!


Boys’ and girls’ brains develop and operate very differently, and understanding the implications of what that means will help both teachers and parents. You'll learn strategies to raise and teach either gender to help them succeed in school and in life.


Guest Speaker: Michael Reist is a teacher with over 30 years of experience in the classroom. He is a frequent speaker to parent groups and education conferences across Canada where his workshops on gender differences and learning have drawn large crowds and enthusiastic responses. Michael’s work has been featured on CBC, TV Ontario, Today’s Parent Magazine, The National Post and the Toronto Star. Michael is the author of the forthcoming book Raising Boys In A New Kind Of World. His first book was entitled The Dysfunctional School: Uncomfortable Truths and Awkward Insights on School, Learning and Teaching. He has published over 70 articles on topics ranging from education, spirituality and parenting to movies, books and popular culture.
