Course Description

This course is for educators asking themselves questions about how to get the best out of the boys they teach.

Modern definitions of masculinity may be changing, but there are plenty of boys caught up in behaviours that lead to wellbeing issues and disengagement from school.

This course examines these issues, the reasons behind them and offers practical suggestions for working with boys.

Lauren Cook

Lauren Cook can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to teach. From the beginning of her career in 2001, she strove to understand what was at the basis of good teaching and learning. Lauren spent many of her early years of teaching in brand new schools, where the exploration of best practice was at the forefront. She undertook a variety of leadership roles from curriculum to professional learning to student management. She also joined the Faculty of Education at Deakin University to work with pre-service teachers.  In 2010, Lauren became an Assistant Principal but missed her role in the classroom. She now wants to focus more on teaching and learning, and contributing to developing professional networks of teachers committed to best practice. She is Deputy Head of Wellbeing and Head of Boys at St Margaret's and Berwick Grammar School in Victoria
