Teachers New to Boys’ Schools Conference

27 – 29 October 2016

The Roxbury Latin School
West Roxbury, MA, USA



Learn about and explore best practices related to boys' education from experienced teachers and administrators. Designed for teachers in their first two years of work at a boys’ school, this conference provides teachers in all grade levels and disciplines the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions with their peers. In addition to these discussions, delve into topical issues including relational teaching, social development, and student advising. During this conference, visit classes at Roxbury Latin to observe many of the theoretical concepts put into practice.

The conference brings together both professionals new to boys’ schools and seasoned colleagues who will share best practices and facilitate discussions intended to strengthen all participants’ contributions to their respective schools and pedagogical approaches that work especially well for boys. The program addresses the principal developmental distinctions of boys of all ages; therefore, teachers of boys of all ages, grades, and disciplines will benefit from this fruitful dialogue. We hope every teacher returns to his or her school better informed about their students and equipped with helpful techniques and approaches.
