Enhancing Boys' Learning: Superheroes and Beyond
A one day course for teachers and practitioners in nurseries, schools and other under fives settings.
‘If I have not yet learned to love Darth Vader, I have at least made some useful discoveries while watching him play. As I interrupt less, it becomes clear that boys play is serious drama, not morbid mischief. Its rhythms and images are often discordant to me but I must try to make sense of a style that, after all, belongs to half the population of the classroom’
(Paley V G 1984)
