For parents, teachers, and educational policy makers, James describes how girls think and how to use this knowledge to better teach them in math and science, in both single-sex and coed environments. She details cognitive and learning-style differences between females and males, addresses assumptions and stereotypes girls have about not doing well in math and science, and discusses how to help girls with stress and anxiety. She provides suggestions for developing school wide programs to help all students. James, a developmental and educational psychologist, has taught science, biology, and psychology in single-sex schools and consults on gendered teaching.
