Center for the Study of Boys Action Research findings now available

2016-2017 Action Research projects focused on collaboration in the classroom 
St. Christopher’s faculty undertake Action Research projects each year to further the understanding of best practices for boys. The boys themselves play a vital role in the process by providing feedback on their experiences. This past school year, teachers from all three divisions of the school participated in research focused on the theme of collaboration. 

Faculty members tested methods of teaching boys to recognize, respect and maximize their different personalities and approaches to learning within a group in order to create engaging and innovative learning experiences. 

Visit the Center for the Study of Boys website for a comprehensive look at this year's Action Research.
