The purpose of this webpage is to explore the
ways gender issues affect pedagogy and students in the academic setting. We will examine how critical pedagogy, media, sexual
orientation, and race play into the affects of gender, and what teachers can do to combat the negative side effects of some
of these issues. We will provide practical solutions teachers can use to create a gender-equal classroom. Finally, we will
provide other sources teachers can explore for further reading on the subject.

The Influence
for this Website:
Although it appears
that gender is something that has been overcome over the course of American history, it still negatively affects the achievement
of many students. As members of school communities, a greater society, and as future teachers and perhaps parents, we must
address these issues head on, in order to instill in students an understanding of the ways gender affects society and the
dynamics of communities. By taking a critical look into many of the issues that may go unnoticed or unchanged, we have the
opportunity to change the status quo philosophy that seems to trap many students in a world of inequality.
Please take the time to review time
navigating through our site.
Note: this website covers gender in relation to critical pedagogy, influence of media, influence of sexual orientation,
as well as the affects of gender on African American students. Please Enjoy!
