Boys, Masculinity, and Education Pt 2: Beyond the Gender Binary with Tom Brown and Justin Tosco

How do we support the positive development of boys in our educational spaces?How does creating a truly gender inclusive classroom lift up all young people, including boys?In my last podcast with Tom Brown and Justin Tosco, we got our “section of the choir together” to discuss the crisis of boys in schools and how that manifested in the research and our own personal experiences.If you haven’t listened to that episode, you can find it here!In this part two episode, we were joined by Breaking the Paradigm Co-Host Kelly Jonelis, and sought to put our conversation about boys in education into the context of creating gender inclusive environments for all young people.In a wide ranging discussion, Kelly, Justin, Tom and I touched on diagnoses (and mis-diagnoses) among boys and girls, understanding gender as a social construct, supporting young people as they find their place in the gender spectrum, and so much more.If you want to support human flourishing for all your students, and are looking to understand how to support the various identities that your students have, this is a must-listen podcast!Thanks for Stopping By!If this work resonates with you, I invite you to consider becoming a paid subscriber.
