Concept note: Gender Responsive Classrooms, Gender Sensitive Teachers! 

(Monika Kadel)

Overview 

As we spend our most constructive years of human life in schools. And it is very important to sensitive teachers, school administrators and everyone associated with the institution about gender issues. 

Thus my concept will revolve around creating awareness on the importance of Gender Responsive Classrooms and the need of Gender Sensitive Teachers. 

Background: 

Gender-sensitive teachers recognize and appreciate the gender diversity among students and create a learning environment that eliminates stereotyping, discrimination, and bias.Gender-sensitive teachers understand that boys and girls have different learning styles and preferences. They use teaching strategies that allow for differences in learning and facilitate collaboration and dialogue among students. They also use inclusive language that affirms both girls and boys rather than perpetuating stereotypes. 

Gender-sensitive teachers are also able to identify gender-based harassment or discrimination and take appropriate action to prevent it or address it. They ensure that students feel safe and comfortable in their classrooms, regardless of their gender or gender identity. 

Gender responsive classrooms are crucial to creating equitable and inclusive learning environments. Teachers must be gender-sensitive and actively work towards eliminating gender bias and stereotypes in their classrooms. 

Plan:
