The Utah Women & Leadership Project invites you to join us for Segment 2 of a 4-part webinar series titled "Understanding Gender: An In-Depth Exploration for Educators & Parents."
Understanding Gender: An In-Depth Exploration for Educators & Parents: Segment 2 - Understanding Differences
Description: This webinar introduces educators and parents to research studies that can help them understand the biological and socialized distinctions between boys and girls, young men and young women, and men and women. Comprehending the inherent gender differences will help educators and parents integrate knowledge that can further maximize student learning and have the greatest impact on educational outcomes. We will explore how children, teens, and adults, interact with risk and aggression, social media, confidence, empathy, and race, ethnicity, and culture.
