IBSC 15th Annual Conference: New Worlds for Boys Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Welcome to Toronto – and the 15th annual IBSC conference!

It’s said that “Toronto” is derived from a local aboriginal word for “plenty of people” or “meeting place”. And indeed the city today is one of the world’s most multicultural cities – home to more than seventy different nationalities speaking some one hundred languages.

It is thus fitting that Toronto is this year’s “meeting place” for IBSC educators from so many nations – Ja- pan, China, Spain, the United Kingdom, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, the United States and Can- ada. At its creation, the founders of the IBSC saw that it should be global in purpose and ambition, and we reap the benefits of this vision every time we meet.

We hope that New Worlds for Boys will inspire you to envision dynamic ways to prepare boys for new worlds. They need to be Global Boys, at home in a world of fast-paced globalisation and diversity. They need to be Green Boys, ready to care for the environment and tackle the challenges of climate change. They must become Just Boys, whose moral compass will guide them steadfastly through a lifetime of change. Our work should promote Inquiring, Creative Boys who will think and act creatively to make this a better world.

Hosted by Upper Canada College, New Worlds for Boys is the outcome of a lively and committed partnership of seven boys’ schools in Toronto. Led by Richard Hood, the planning committee has met the daunting tasks of conference organisation with good cheer, energy, and creativity. We are profoundly grateful to our partner schools, and their many volunteers.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and my IBSC colleagues, Chris Wadsworth and Kathy Blaisdell, let me extend a warm welcome to the 15th annual conference – your “meeting place” for good company and good learning over the next three days!

His 2005 international bestseller, Race Against Time: Searching for Hope in AIDS-Ravaged Sunday June 22, 2008 Africa, is a heartfelt and sometimes maddening look at how the world is failing the 2:45 – 4:15 UN's eight Millennium Development Goals, which were meant in part to cut poverty in half by 2015. Lewis is formerly a Commissioner for the World Health Organization's Commission on the Social Determinants of Health and a Senior Advisor for Health and Human Rights to the Harvard School of Public Health, as well as a member of the Board of Directors of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative.

Admired by people of all political ideolo- gies, he has garnered respect and attention internationally for the strength and elo- quence with which he presents his convictions.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

The Hon. James Bartleman, one of Canada's most distinguished diplomats and public servants, brings to our conference a unique message about the obligation of schools to create Just Boys in service to their communities. Born in 1939, he grew up in the Muskoka town of Port Carling, Ontario, and is a member of the Mnjikaning First Nation. Mr. Bartleman had a distinguished career of more than 35 years in the Canadian Foreign Service. He was Canada's Ambassador to the European Union from 2000 to 2002. He served as High Commissioner to Australia in 1999-2000 and to South Africa in 1998-1999. Mr. Bartleman as Ambassador to the North Atlantic Tuesday June 24, 2008 Council of NATO from 1990 to 1994. He served as Ambassador to Israel and High 9:00 – 10:30 Commissioner to Cyprus from 1986 to 1990, and was Ambassador to Cuba from 1981 to 1983. From 1994 to 1998, Mr Bartleman was Foreign Policy Advisor to the Prime Minister and Assistant Secretary to the Cabinet for Foreign and Defence Policy, Privy Council Office. He also served in senior positions in the Department of Foreign Af- fairs and International Trade from 1967. He opened Canada's first diplomatic mission in the newly independent People's Republic of Bangladesh in 1972. As the 41st Lieu- tenant Governor of Ontario from 2002 to 2007, he identified three areas of focus for his mandate: to encourage aboriginal communities, especially young people; to speak out to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness; and to support initiatives that fight racism and discrimination. His projects included Aboriginal Youth Literacy, a program that addressed the needs of Aboriginal communities in Canada's Far North. Four Aboriginal Literacy Initiatives were implemented: 2.3 million books were col- lected to establish libraries in First Nation Communities across the north; a School Twinning Program linked nearly 150 Aboriginal schools with non-Aboriginal schools across Ontario and Nunavut; thirty-six Aboriginal Summer Reading Camps were es- tablished in 28 fly-in First Nations communities; and Club Amick’ was launched to provide books and newsletters four times a year to 5000 Aboriginal children in On- tario’s North. Mr. Bartleman is also the author of three autobiographical works that explore his upbringing and roots in the First Nation community, and tell the remark- able story of his varied public career.

Brian Little grew up and received his early education in British Columbia where even at a very young age he was intrigued by why people do what they do. He com- pleted his Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of California at Berkeley and was the recipient of a Commonwealth Scholarship to study at Oxford University in England. He stayed on as a faculty member at Oxford for several years before returning to Can- ada. Dr. Little spent most of his academic career as a professor in the Department of Psychology at Carleton University in Ottawa. During this time, Brian published widely in the area of personality psychology and was recognized as an outstanding

Tuesday June 24, 2008 teacher with a 3M Award – Canada’s highest award for excellence in university 1:45 – 3:00 teaching. Dr. Little's research has been recognized by a Fellowship in the Canadian Psychological Association, an Affiliate of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, a Lecturer in Psychology at Harvard, and as a G. Stanley Hall Lecturer on two occa- 9 15th Annual IBSC Conference: New Worlds for Boys

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS sions for the American Psychological Association. He pioneered the study of "Personal Projects Analysis" as an approach to the study of human personality and continues an active program of research at both Carleton and with the Harvard Per- sonal Projects Interest Collaboratory (HAPPI). And, as he has done over the past fifteen years, he continues to delight a diversity of audiences with the insights and whimsy of his presentations. In spite of these accomplishments, Brian’s long standing career aspiration has been to play for the Toronto Raptors’ of the NBA. He is also planning on growing a foot and a half over the next six months.

Bill Lishman is an inventor, sculptor, architect, naturalist, and environmentalist. Car- roll Ballard, who directed the movies The Black Stallion, Never Cry Wolf, and Fly Away Home (a movie based on Lishman's work with migrating geese) once described Lishman as "a very creative, energetic, one-of-a-kind individual." As a young boy, Bill Lishman dreamed of flying with the birds! As a man, he fulfilled that dream. As he did so, he made Canadian aviation history by becoming the first in Canada to foot- launch a rigid winged powered aircraft. Some years later, he used "imprinting," a natural phenomenon discovered by Conrad Lorenz, to lead goslings to follow his ul- tralight aircraft from Canada to Virginia. Following the successful experiment with Wednesday June 25, 2008 Canada Geese, the team, including Lishman and Joe Duff, turned their efforts to rare 9:00 – 10:15 and endangered species and, in 1994, founded Operation Migration, a non-profit charitable organisation. He is now involved in a project to save the endangered whooping crane. In the early 1990's, Lishman designed and built an energy efficient dome-shaped underground home where he lives with his wife Paula, an internationally renowned fashion designer and president of the Fur Council of Canada. Bill Lish- man will challenge and inspire us to work more creatively with young boys and their dreams.

Michael Furdyk is the Co-founder and Director of Technology for TakingIT- Global.org, a global online community for young people, engaging hundreds of thou- sands of youth in over 200 countries and territories. Michael has spoken at the World Congress on IT, the US Government's National Youth Summit, Microsoft's Anytime, Anywhere Learning Summits, and The Business Council. He has made numerous me- dia appearances including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Time Magazine, Fast Company, BusinessWeek, CNN, MSNBC, and USA Today. He is a board member and advisor to numerous groups including Microsoft, Pollution Probe, the Anytime, Anywhere Learning Foundation, and several other national and global organizations. With his Wednesday June 25, 2008 own story as a powerful example, Michael will provide us with an in-depth look at the 10:45 – 12:00 "Net Generation", born between 1980-2000, and how their use of technology is influ- encing many aspects of society. He will also discuss his work with TakingITGlobal and their efforts to develop engaging, effective curriculum activities for schools around the world, to get students more engaged in global issues.

A-1, Room E203 A Teacher's Guide to Boys' Anxiety Problems **This Workshop is also offered in Session C-1** Jason Bantjes, School Psychologist, Diocesan College, South Africa Boys of all ages are prone to experiencing a variety of problems with anxiety. These anxiety problems manifest in many ways, are not always easy to recognize, and have the potential to severely hamper a boy’s psychological development, social adjustment, and academic success. It is also often difficult to know how best to support and help boys to overcome anxiety. This workshop will explore the nature of anxiety, describe some of the difficulties boys have with anxiety, and help teachers to recognize anxiety and empower them to respond appropriately.

A-2, Room E223 Grammatically Creative Boys: Grammar Leading to Creativity in Boys' Acquisition of French as a Second Language Elise Bayle, French Teacher, Royal Saint George's College, Canada This workshop will look into best practices for senior school boys learning a second language, French in this example. We will investigate the relevance of emphasizing the technical aspect of the language to enable creative practices during class and outside the classroom. The focus will be on a very grammatical approach to the language, often much appreciated by senior school boys who are happy to understand the mechanisms that get the wheels of French spinning, rather than having to memorize a set of what appears to be random grammar rules. Such practices are meant to allow our boys to move away from that same grammatical ground, thus to become creative boys. Creative boys in French as a second language are boys whose abilities go beyond filling out work- sheets and expand to a personal, thoughtful and creative use of the French they know. 15 [Upper/Senior] [Reading/Language Teachers] 15th Annual IBSC Conference: New Worlds for Boys

WORKSHOP SESSION A (CONT’D) MONDAY, JUNE 23, 11:15 AM – 12:30 PM

A-3, Room E105 Exchanging Gifts through Life-Skill Games: Using Interactive, Differentiated Learning to Meet Boys' Needs Anthony Blackhurst, Head of Department, Social Sciences and Environment, The Ridge School, South Africa This workshop will focus on board games used with boys in grades 4 to 6 to entice them to focus on financial, social and civic realities. Classes are pupil-driven and goal-oriented - providing opportunities for boys to shape the curriculum, demonstrate leadership and practice creative expression. Boys involved have demonstrated in- creased overall motivation, stronger work ethic, improved self-regulation and stronger academic results. This workshop will focus primarily on grade six, but similar games used with younger boys, when complemented by use of Interactive White Board (IWB) expression, Classroom Performance System (CPS), investigative approaches, multimedia facilities and considered classroom environment management, help make for mentally chal- lenging and stimulating mornings in which physical movement and planned lesson focus adjustments are purpose- ful, pleasurable and effective. This presentation will also stress the importance of individualized mental coaching, closer teacher/pupil bonds and non-game-related ideas for fostering creativity in the teaching and learning of Mathematics and Languages, all of which nurture motivated, community-connected, usefully educated, fun-loving boys. [Lower/Primary]

A-4, Room E121 Designing a Methodology for Engaging Under-represented Boys Kai Bynum, Director of Community and Diversity, Belmont Hill School, USA The educational demands of the new world and the evolving cultural landscape of our communities has made us more aware of different programs and initiatives that focus on globalisation and diversity in our schools. Yet we often find it difficult to design practices that produce a genuine and engaging experience for the under-represented students on campus. This workshop will illuminate theoretical questions and discuss practical strategies that will help schools develop methods to both engage under-represented students and generate a pluralistic community. The participants will leave with an understanding of how to assess the current methodology within their schools, and with a list of issues and ideas to consider for future efforts. [Lower/Primary, Middle, Upper/Senior] [School Heads and Administrators, Admissions/Marketing, Boarding/ Residential Life, Advising/Counselling/Pastoral]

A-5, Room E251 Innovative Methods in Teaching Language Arts to Boys **This Workshop is also offered in Session C-3** Leslie-Anne Dexter, Director of Curriculum, The Sterling Hall School, Canada Trish Cislak, Action Research and Teacher Mentorship Co-ordinator, The Sterling Hall School, Canada James Burns, The Sterling Hall School, Canada Two teachers from The Sterling Hall School will lead a workshop on two innovative programs, Rocket Writing and Sharkopoly (a series of grammar-based action games), designed to enhance and engage boys in all aspects of the Language Arts programs. The teacher-student team will lead delegates through a PowerPoint presentation, active interaction with game play and the writing process as well as frank discussions about the benefits and challenges in this two year pilot program. Assessment tools will also be shared. [Lower/Primary, Middle] [School Heads and Administrators, Learning Specialists, Reading/Language Teachers]

A-6, Room E250 "Learning it by Living it": Environmental Sustainability and Education in Boys' Schools Stephanie Foster, Consultant, Fostering Sustainability, Canada This workshop presents a model for environmental sustainability in boys' schools. In order to achieve this goal, concerted action in three areas is required: Organizational Behaviour and Attitudes; Curriculum and Professional Development; and Facilities and Operations. It is only through an appreciation of the inter-relations of these three areas that schools can become truly "Green", and effectively equip their graduates with the knowledge, behaviours

and capacity for action. The workshop will present abundant examples of effective organizational and teaching practices in Toronto boys' schools that have embraced this approach to becoming "Green Schools”. Also discussed are practices that seem to be especially effective for boys, and that build upon their learning styles and in- terests. This workshop will be of interest to school leaders and educators in boys' schools in search of a template for holistic environmental action and education. [Lower/Primary, Middle, Upper/Senior] [School Heads and Administrators, Boarding/Residential Life]

A-7, Room E051 Prep Activity Room A Faculty Growth and Evaluation Model that Promotes Best Practices for Teaching Boys **This Workshop is also offered in Session C-6** Mary Gauthier, Executive Director, Wernham West Centre for Learning, Upper Canada College, Canada Steven Griffin, Head of Upper School, Upper Canada College, Canada Don Kawasoe, Head of Preparatory School, Upper Canada College, Canada The Faculty Growth and Evaluation Program at Upper Canada College honours the individual work, expertise and goals of our teachers while making intentional connections to boys and learning and to the school's strategic plan and institutional expectations. Our institutional model was inspired by the work of such experts as Robert Evans and Jim Collins, and our focus on meeting the needs of boys draws from the work of Michael Thompson, Mel Levine, James Garbarino and Adam Cox. The program is a framework that can be used by any school that aspires to ensure that faculty evaluation has a positive connection to on-going learning. A workbook with our resources, forms and processes will be shared. The session will include discussion about the challenges of instituting an evaluation process that is both meaningful and sustainable, along with suggestions for overcoming these challenges. [School Heads and Administrators]

A-8, Room E104 Is my Boys' School a Haven for Reflection and Clear Thinking? Tom Hamilton, Headmaster, St Alban's College, South Africa Do we talk or do we listen? Do we understand the power of active listening? Taking time to listen to colleagues, parents and boys is one of the most fundamental and profound decisions we can make. Taking time to place the person with whom you are in conversation in the context of their broader lives is important too. In this workshop, the presenter will provide some pointers on how you can grow your school by saying less and allowing others to say more! [Lower/Primary, Middle, Upper/Senior] [School Heads and Administrators, Learning Specialists, Boarding/ Residential Life, Advising/Counselling/Pastoral]

A-9, Laidlaw Hall What we should be Teaching Boys but are Probably not **This Workshop is also offered in Session C-9** Tim Hawkes, Headmaster, The King's School, Australia Research conducted at The King's School has revealed a significant range of skills considered essential for adult life that were not being taught at school. We also found that there was a strong desire amongst boys to be affirmed formally that they had the skills necessary to be considered "a man". The restrictive edicts from centralised educational bureaucracies as to what should be taught in schools sometimes seemed to be at odds with what the real- world deemed important to be taught to boys. This workshop explores what we should be teaching boys but are probably not. It shows how these skills might be taught within a crowded curriculum which, all too often, is greatly controlled by government agencies. A number of revolutionary ideas will be shared on how a curriculum in a school for boys might be significantly enriched without necessarily taking a school out of the "mainstream" educational environment. It is suggested that the adoption of the enriched curriculum might lead to an effective induction of boys into manhood in a manner not currently apparent in western culture.

WORKSHOP SESSION A (CONT’D) MONDAY, JUNE 23, 11:15 AM – 12:30 PM

A-10, Room E222 Values for a Citizen of the World : Teaching Religion in a Boys' School David Jackson, Chairman, Religion Department, Memphis University School, USA Studying religion in a boys' school provides unique opportunities to foster students' personal and academic growth. At a time when the students are "flexing their wings" about much of life they also need a safe environment to question their own values and religious traditions. They also must recognize that current world events and personal values are based in religious traditions and assumptions. This presentation will offer insights into such teaching at the middle and high school levels, in particular, in semester-long classes in the 7th, 9th and 12th grades. The workshop will include a presentation of the curriculum offered by "Facing History and Ourselves," a U.S. based educational and professional development organisation. [Middle, Upper/Senior] [Advising/Counselling/Pastoral]

A-11, Room P235 Prep Art Room Inquiring Boys: Using Brain Based Strategies to Develop Learning Skills **This Workshop is also offered in Session D-7** Abigail James, Developmental Learning Specialist, Rockhouse Associates, USA One advantage of boys’ schools is the attention to and development of the natural inquisitiveness of boys as an approach to learning. This workshop presents current research in cognitive gender differences as a basis to understanding the dynamic approach of boys to their world. Those findings will then provide a foundation for developing classroom practices which respond directly to boys’ active learning style. Teachers will build on that knowledge to plan new strategies to utilize the energy boys bring to learning, and those involved in curriculum development will discover new approaches to help boys with the learning process. [Lower/Primary, Middle, Upper/Senior] [Learning Specialists, Reading/Language Teachers]

A-12, Room E102 Boys' Reading Challenges: Current Research, Theory and Intervention Best Practice Dr. Michael Leatch, Director of Student Services, Crescent School, Canada Reading is a fundamental building block that supports future academic success. This workshop explores the neu- roscience of reading acquisition and the structural differences between readers at different developmental stages. Gender differences will be explored through the examination of characteristics associated with fluent readers ver- sus those who are at risk for reading difficulties. Best practice suggestions will be offered that reflect current knowledge acquired through examination of the evidence based research literature on the topic.

A-13, Room H128 Creating the Journey of Character Education for Boys from Strategic Planning to Authentic Learn- ing Ross MacDonald, Head of the Lower School, Crescent School, Canada Sandra Boyes, Assistant Head of the Lower School, Crescent School, Canada Michael Ruscitti, Assistant Head of the Middle School, Crescent School, Canada During the workshop, we will follow the steps that Crescent School took from the mid- 90s to now while implementing an authentic Character Education program that encompasses the whole school. Starting as a conflict resolution program for a single grade, it has evolved to be part of the day to day lives and activities of grades 3 – 12. Our Character Education program embodies the Core Values of the school (Respect, Responsibility, Honesty and Compassion), our mission (Men of Character from Boys of Promise), our Mentor and Form Teacher programs as well as our Outreach programs. The presenters will share what worked at Crescent and will facilitate discussion of Character Education programs that have been implemented at other schools. This sharing of Character Education experiences will help all who attend the workshop. [Lower/Primary, Middle, Upper/Senior] [School Heads and Administrators, Advising/Counselling/Pastoral]

A-14, Room E103 Connecting with Boys - The Development of a School-Wide Model Murray Richardson, Chairman, Boys' Focus Group; Head of Mathematics, Lindisfarne College, New Zealand Ross Barry, Assistant Rector, Senior School, Lindisfarne College, New Zealand Grant Lander, Rector, Lindisfarne College, New Zealand This workshop will describe a number of factors and strategies employed by Lindisfarne College and believed to be the key reasons for this school’s ability to produce well-rounded young men. Members of the panel will relate various strategies employed by the school which did and did not work. They will describe the way in which the College utilised information from their experienced teachers to develop the ‘Connecting with Boys’ model, how the model works and its usefulness in setting school-wide goals. Members will then define the philosophy behind ‘The Lindisfarne Way’, the school’s vision and way forward for all boys in education.

A-15, Room E120 Banana Splits: Social and Emotional Support for Boys Who Live with one Parent or one Parent at a Time Sonja Robinson, Director of Lower School, The Buckley School, USA Catherine Grega, School Psychologist, The Buckley School, Learn how to support boys who have only one parent and boys whose parents have divorced. We will describe how multi-aged groups (Grades 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9) facilitate each boy's ability to cope with life situations he may find troubling and help him gain new understandings as he work s with peers in similar circumstances. Partici- pants will hear boys tell why they have found Buckley's Banana Splits program to be one of the highlights of their school life.

A-16, Room E023A Prep Music Room Instrumental Roundtable Discussion for Women Working in All-Boys’ Schools: Our Experiences Shaping the Men of Tomorrow **This Workshop is also offered in Session C-16** Angela Taylor, Lower School Head, Stuart Hall for Boys, USA What role do we, as women, play in the sometimes "Old Boy Network" of boys schools? Have you ever been in a situation in which the testosterone reached such frightening levels that you had trouble breathing? Come and share your experiences with other women. We'll talk about why we are so passionate about what we do and what keeps us coming back for more year after year. [Lower/Primary, Middle, Upper/Senior] [School Heads and Administrators]

A-17, Room E221 In the Center: Poetry for Middle School Boys Delia Turner, Chair, English Department/Sixth Grade English Teacher, The Haverford School, USA How can you lead adolescent boys to read poetry? Although many believe boys do not like poetry, they have been attracted to its power from the ancient narratives of Homer to the spoken-word poetry of modern-day rap. The question is not whether boys should read poetry, but how they should be able to experience it in a rich and reward- ing way and in the process build greater competence in reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary. This presenter will demonstrate with sample lessons how the intensity, distilled language, grammatical power, and opportunity for social interaction provided by daily poetry lessons can form the heart of English class for boys.

B-1, Room E051 Prep Activity room Using Sport Psychology to Help Boys Develop Resilience **This Workshop is also offered in Session D-1** Jason Bantjes, School Psychologist, Diocesan College, South Africa Helping boys to be happy, emotionally well-adjusted, relationship-enabled, and successful is the goal of many teachers. To achieve this we need to promote the psychological resilience of boys. This workshop will explore the concept of psychological resilience and describe some of the factors that contribute to boys’ psychological wellbeing and emotional health. Workshop participants will be prompted to think about strategies they might use to promote the psychological health of the boys in their care. Games and competitive sport in boys’ schools provide a unique opportunity for us to facilitate the acquisition of skills which promote psychological resilience. This workshop will describe how sports psychology techniques could be used to facilitate boys’ psychological resilience and emotional health while also promoting peak performance and success in competitive sport.

B-2, Laidlaw Hall A Boys' School is as Good as its Faculty: How do we Mentor, Develop, and Inspire Teachers from Rookies to Veterans? **This Workshop is also offered in Session D-2** Maria Buteux Reade, Dean of Faculty, Trinity-Pawling School, USA Becca Davis, Dean of Faculty, The Haverford School, USA This brainstorming session will explore methods of mentoring, developing, and inspiring teachers of all experience levels. In particular, we will examine how schools can encourage faculty to stretch beyond comfortable boundaries and to take on leadership roles. The workshop leaders will share documents and propose strategies which encourage teachers to learn more about their craft and the boys with whom they work and play. The format will be discussion-based round table; participants are encouraged to bring their own methods and practices that have proven effective.

B-3, Room H128 Using the Accelerative Integrated Method (AIM) for Teaching a Second Language to Young Boys: Learn about the Power of the "Gesture Approach." Sylvia Duckworth, Lower School French teacher, Crescent School, Canada Mardi Michels, Junior School French Teacher, Royal St George's College, Canada The Accelerative Integrated Method (AIM) is an intensive methodology for teaching French as a second language (FSL). Developed in the 1990s by award-winning Canadian teacher Wendy Maxwell, the program is currently used in 3500 schools in Canada and also in Europe, the U.S. and Australia. Originally designed for elementary school students, this method has been used successfully with kindergarten to junior high school students. An ESL version was launched in 2006, and a version for teaching Spanish as a second language is in development. AIM appeals to different learning styles and accelerates language development and fluency using strategies and techniques supported by current brain research. Target vocabulary is taught kinesthetically, visually and in auditory manner, and contextualised through story and drama. Students "see and feel" the language. The workshop will provide an overview of this exciting new direction in second-language acquisition, and demonstrate how drama, puppetry, songs, dances and creative story-writing have boosted boys' enthusiasm and proficiency in second- language acquisition.

B-4, Room E102 The Making of Men: Implementing a Student Leadership Program **This Workshop is also offered in Session D-4** Marcus Edwards, Senior Chaplain, Anglican Church Grammar School, Australia Phil Cummins, Head of Senior School, Anglican Church Grammar School, Australia Giving boys opportunities to take positions of leadership in a school requires us to equip them with the knowledge, skills and experience they will need to succeed in these roles. It also requires a keen assessment of what will be required of them as Men of Character in leadership positions after School. This workshop charts the development and implementation of a Senior School Leadership Program, the opportunities that were created for student leadership, the curriculum and training developed for both boys and staff; and the cultural and ethical considera- tions that informed the process. The presentation will conclude with candid reflections on three years of practice and some observations on the limitations of the language of leadership in a school environment. The development of the Senior Leadership Program at ACGS occurred at the same time as the development of a strategic project with Swinburne University on Emotional Intelligence; the ways in which these two projects overlapped and informed each other will be discussed.

B-5, Room E251 What Every First-Year Administrator in a Boys' School Needs to Know Will Forteith, Assistant Head of Middle School, St. Mark's School of Texas, USA Warren Foxworth, Head of Middle School, St. Mark's School of Texas, USA While schools often provide first-year teachers with plenty of advice and support, first-year administrators, by virtue of their new positions, often must face the new challenges of administration on their own. This task can be daunting at a boys’ school. How do you prepare to handle those parent phone calls that previously never came your way? What happens when the professional relationship between you and your colleagues changes? When boys who once approached you with ease begin to shy away from your newly polished badge of discipline, how do you work within that new relationship? Two administrators – a rookie and a 15-year veteran – will address these questions and more and will offer practical tips and tricks on handling discipline with boys and on helping boys become young men. Strategies for supporting faculty and addressing parental concerns will also be discussed.

B-6, Room E223 New Horizons for Boys: Building Effective Partnerships between Boys' Schools and Inner-City Schools Nanci Goldman, Founding Executive Director of "Horizons" and Director of "Youth to Youth", Upper Canada College, Canada Our schools strive to create meaningful experiences that build "Just Boys" in their communities. Toronto boys' schools take part in "Horizons", a unique program that fosters and facilitates equitable partnerships between inner- city elementary schools and independent high schools, and between the children in both. Among other things, boys participate on a weekly basis in academic tutoring and mentoring and music and sports programs for inner- city youth. "Horizons" has become the model for "Youth to Youth", a national organisation that promotes these learning partnerships across Canada. This workshop focuses on the structure and organisation of "Horizons", its impact on the culture and life of boys' schools, and the nature of this authentic learning specifically for boys. A panel of staff and boys from two Toronto boys' schools will tell the story of this transformational program. [Middle, Upper/Senior] [School Heads and Administrators]

B-7, Room E120 Off the Beaten Track: Student Outreach in Papua New Guinea and Beyond Christian Gregory, Senior Head of House, Trinity Grammar School, Australia Year 11 Students (age 16-17) from Trinity Grammar School in Melbourne now walk the Kokoda Trail, symbolic of Australians bravery and courage during WW II. They visit schools and travel to remote villages to experience local life. The students travel beyond the mainland of PNG to remote islands and communities arriving via Kayak, bike, boat and truck. They benefit enormously from the encounters they have which provide opportunities to reflect on the strengths of PNG Village life and some of the inadequacies of Australian Village life. Realisations gained have been meaningful, causing many to go back to PNG to work voluntarily for a year or become involved in a variety of Outreach programs. [Upper/Senior]

B-8, Room E023A Prep Music Room Instrumental Bullying in a Boys' School **This Workshop is also offered in Session D-6** Jay Greytok, Head of Middle School, The Haverford School, USA Jay Brown, Lower School Dean of Students, The Haverford School, USA Janet Heed, Upper School Counselor, The Haverford School, USA The topic of bullying draws national and international attention as violent acts related to this behavior grab head- lines around the globe. Some experts focus on schools as a potential breeding ground for bullies as many feel this is where problems begin and prevention through education can occur. This session will focus on how one school is addressing bullying in all three divisions. Our Upper School team will present the findings of their faculty and student study of bullying/teasing from the perspective of the perpetrator, victim, and observer. The Middle School will discuss the current research on bullying and how they use peer mediation as a way to address issues. Finally, the Lower School will present some practical applications using the Decision Education model to teach the boys strategies in conflict resolution and character development. This is three divisions with one vision, to address bullying head on in their school. [Lower/Primary, Middle, Upper/Senior] [School Heads and Administrators]

B-9, Room E235 Prep Art Room Boys and Risky Behavior: Why Boys do it and What can we do to Help? **This Workshop is also offered in Session C-10** Abigail James, Developmental Learning Specialist, Rockhouse Associates, USA Recent findings about the gender differences in development rates of certain portions of the brain involved in making reasoned decisions have provided some understanding about why boys are likely to engage in risky behavior. However, understanding the neuro-cognitive basis for impulsive actions is not enough; schools and teachers need to be able to help young men learn to control their behavior in the face of peer and social pressure to do otherwise. This workshop will discuss the present understanding of normal social development of boys and how family, school, and society can play a part in providing positive solutions for boys as they learn to manage their lives. Participants will develop strategies appropriate for the age of the students in their schools.

B-11, Room E103 Battle and Campaign Analysis: Using the Principles of War to Help Boys Understand the Nature of Armed Conflict Jim Leatch, Head of History and Senior School Curriculum Coordinator, Royal St. George's College, Canada Keith Farrar, History Teacher, Royal St. George's College, Canada Since the end of the Cold War, and particularly after September 11th, armed force has been used time and again in many areas of the world, often without achieving the desired result. Unfortunately, confrontation and combat will continue to be with us and it is important for students, as global citizens and activists for peace, to develop the ability to understand this phenomenon. Participants in this workshop will be presented with an overview of the Principles of War and they will be given suggestions for ways that educators may use the Principles to help students comprehend, and analyse critically, the nature of conflict as it happened in the past, as it is occurring today and as it may exist in the future. [Upper/Senior]

B-12, Room E222 Cold Showers and Porridge: Forget not the Lessons of your Grandfathers Matthew Marwick, Head of Department, Maritzburg College, South Africa It is perhaps unfashionable these days to extol the virtues of our fathers and grandfathers, who invariably had steeper hills to climb than the youth of today. Heritage and tradition, discipline and honour: these are all words that probably appear archaic to many modern boys. In his workshop, South African educator Matthew Marwick discusses some of his school’s rather more old-fashioned views on the educating of boys – who are from day one taught a strong sense of hierarchy and are given firm boundaries, but also instilled with a sense of pride, honour, team-spirit and loyalty.

B-15, Room E105 Clay Tablets, Wax Tablets, Computer Tablets: Re-Inventing Old Methods with New Technology Marlene Sclar, Director of Computer Training/Curriculum Development, Landon School, USA Larry Fullerton, Director of Academic Computing, Landon School, USA The Babylonians used a stylus to make marks in clay tablets. The Romans used styli with wax tablets. Students and faculty use a stylus and a computer screen. Welcome to the world of Tablet Computing! In this, the second of our three year tablet implementation project, we have found many successes to share. However, getting there took time, energy, hard work and a solid implementation plan. What worked best or didn’t work? What role do LCD projectors play? How have faculty and students reacted? How has classroom instruction changed? How are teachers trained? What is the overall reaction to the tablet implementation? Our session will answer these questions and possibly generate a few more. The latest technology has arrived. Come see it first-hand!

Long Live Inquiry! Learn how one school incorporates best practices into an interactive, technology-based Inquiry program. With our five-step process, our boys are becoming self- motivated researchers while trying to find solutions to local and world issues. Using Inspiration software, our In- quiry program guides boys, and allows them to express what they have learned. By design, the Sterling Hall School Inquiry program integrates other curricular areas, and extensions take place across all grades. Boys from the school, Inquiry participants, will be on hand to share their work and their enthusiasm for the program. Inquiry program highlights for the boys include accessing experts, conducting surveys, and presenting their findings in interesting ways. This IBSC session will inspire you towards a fresh perspective or approach to teaching inquiring minds.

WORKSHOP SESSION C TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM

C-1, Room E102 A Teacher's Guide to Boys' Anxiety Problems **This Workshop is also offered in Session A-1** Jason Bantjes, School Psychologist, Diocesan College, South Africa Boys of all ages are prone to experiencing a variety of problems with anxiety. These anxiety problems manifest in many ways, are not always easy to recognize, and have the potential to severely hamper a boy’s psychological development, social adjustment, and academic success. It is also often difficult to know how best to support and help boys to overcome anxiety. This workshop will explore the nature of anxiety, describe some of the difficulties boys have with anxiety, and help teachers to recognize anxiety and empower them to respond appropriately.

WORKSHOP SESSION C (CONT’D) TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM

C-5, Room E223 Inspiring the Boys Phil Garner, Director, Newcastle School for Boys, United Kingdom The presenter has researched extensively the impact of performance arts & creative activities on the motivation and academic performance of boys in school. The workshop will cover the key issues relating to inspiring boys, the development of learning and teaching strategies and the provision of a range of solutions to guide individual educators and school organisations. Attendance at the workshop should enable staff to help boys develop improved self esteem, improved confidence, improved motivation, and Improved educational achievement. [Lower/Primary, Middle] [Learning Specialists, Boarding/Residential Life]

C-6, Room E051 Prep Activity room A Faculty Growth and Evaluation Model that Promotes Best Practices for Teaching Boys **This Workshop is also offered in Session A-7** Mary Gauthier, Executive Director, Wernham West Centre for Learning, Upper Canada College, Canada Steven Griffin, Head of Upper School, Upper Canada College, Canada Don Kawasoe, Head of Preparatory School, Upper Canada College, Canada The Faculty Growth and Evaluation Program at Upper Canada College honours the individual work, expertise and goals of our teachers while making intentional connections to boys and learning and to the school's strategic plan and institutional expectations. Our institutional model was inspired by the work of such experts as Robert Evans and Jim Collins, and our focus on meeting the needs of boys draws from the work of Michael Thompson, Mel Levine, James Garbarino and Adam Cox. The program is a framework that can be used by any school that aspires to ensure that faculty evaluation has a positive connection to on-going learning. A workbook with our resources, forms and processes will be shared. The session will include discussion about the challenges of instituting an evaluation process that is both meaningful and sustainable, along with suggestions for overcoming these challenges. [School Heads and Administrators]

C-7, Room E222 How to Implement a "Peer Support" Program in a Boys' Primary School (P-6) Steven Grbac, Head of Peer Support, Junior School, Scotch College, Australia Building a peer support network within schools can help prevent the incidence of bullying amongst students. Pro- grams where older students support and work with younger students create caring and supportive school communities where students can feel safe and be unrestricted in their physical, social and mental development. Peer Sup- port is a whole school initiative which partners older students with younger students to encourage discussion about issues and problems they are already facing. Older students act as mentors, educating younger students on how to handle peer pressures and providing support and teaching social skills. [Lower/Primary] [Advising/Counselling/Pastoral]

C-8, Room E121 The Admission and Enrolment Office: The Public Face of Your School Elizabeth Harrison, Dean of Enrolment, Barker College, Australia This workshop will allow participants to analyse best practice in their school’s Enrolment Office as we: discuss the role of Public Relations and Marketing practices in an Enrolment Office; explore whether enrolments and marketing should be separate entities in a school; Relationships Are The Key - define a school’s sales force and how to harness it; Fact or Fiction - explore the role of story telling in marketing ; Managing the Message – where do we start; Beyond the Prospectus - investigate other effective marketing tools. The purpose of the workshop is to encourage best practice and provide ideas for participants to consider for use in their schools.

WORKSHOP SESSION C (CONT’D) TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM

C-9, Laidlaw Hall What we should be Teaching Boys but are Probably not **This Workshop is also offered in Session A-9** Tim Hawkes, Headmaster, The King's School, Australia Research conducted at The King's School has revealed a significant range of skills considered essential for adult life that were not being taught at school. We also found that there was a strong desire amongst boys to be affirmed formally that they had the skills necessary to be considered "a man". The restrictive edicts from centralised educational bureaucracies as to what should be taught in schools sometimes seemed to be at odds with what the real- world deemed important to be taught to boys. This workshop explores what we should be teaching boys but are probably not. It shows how these skills might be taught within a crowded curriculum which, all too often, is greatly controlled by government agencies. A number of revolutionary ideas will be shared on how a curriculum in a school for boys might be significantly enriched without necessarily taking a school out of the "mainstream" educational environment. It is suggested that the adoption of the enriched curriculum might lead to an effective induction of boys into manhood in a manner not currently apparent in western culture. [Middle, Upper/Senior] [School Heads and Administrators, Boarding/Residential Life]

C-10, Room P235 Prep Art Room Boys and Risky Behavior: Why Boys do it and What can we do to Help? **This Workshop is also offered in Session B-9** Abigail James, Developmental Learning Specialist, Rockhouse Associates, USA Recent findings about the gender differences in development rates of certain portions of the brain involved in making reasoned decisions have provided some understanding about why boys are likely to engage in risky behavior. However, understanding the neuro-cognitive basis for impulsive actions is not enough; schools and teachers need to be able to help young men learn to control their behavior in the face of peer and social pressure to do otherwise. This workshop will discuss the present understanding of normal social development of boys and how family, school, and society can play a part in providing positive solutions for boys as they learn to manage their lives. Participants will develop strategies appropriate for the age of the students in their schools.

C-11, Room E203 Known by Name Tim Jarvis, School Counsellor, Michaelhouse, South Africa Allan Laing, Deputy Rector (Pupils), Michaelhouse, South Africa The power of knowing someone cannot be underestimated and this is particularly true in the school environment. This presentation begins with a look at the culture of naming in the management of Nguni cattle herds by the Zulu people and how this deep rooted African tradition give us food for thought when it comes to the management of our schools and the care of the pupils within them. Thereafter the necessity of knowing those in our care will be emphasized and an examination of how this can be done in creative and meaningful ways will take place. The principles of 'generativity' and 'complexification' are also discussed as a means of doing this. [Lower/Primary, Middle, Upper/Senior] [School Heads and Administrators, Boarding/Residential Life, Advising/ Counselling/Pastoral]

C-12, Room E221 Critical Literacy: Creating a Socially Just New Vision of Masculinity Jeremy Ludowyke, Principal, Melbourne High School, Australia Many of the traditional cultural attributes of masculinity have often been associated with some of the most con- fronting and damaging contemporary global issues. Aggression with violence and warfare, lack of compassion with social indifference, fierce self-interest and competitiveness with economic, ecological and cultural exploita- tion. Unless we are able to conceive of and nurture in young men a more socially just conception of manhood, redressing these issues may continue to cut against their sense of the prevailing social grain. Are these legitimate

challenges for schools to tackle, and if so how? This workshop will explore the potential of critical literacy as a new teaching approach applicable across the curriculum which has the potential to empower young men to imag- ine themselves as more compassionate, creative and socially just. This workshop has application to each of the conference reference themes.

C-13, Room E103 Is Mandarin Chinese a Language that should be Taught in your School? How will you Find Out? Nick Mair, Head of Modern Foreign Languages, Dulwich College, United Kingdom Part of the presentation takes the form of a simple non-competitive practical lesson to indicate the pleasures and pitfalls of learning Mandarin. There is specific attention to characters and tones. The remainder of the session deals with the other elements a school should examine when considering whether to teach Mandarin as a second foreign language.

C-14, Room H128 Preparing Boys for a Global Community through Literature Rob Maitra, Director of Educational Advancement, The Boys' Club of New York, USA As the numerous regions of the world become more socially, politically, economically and environmentally inter- connected, individuals possessing knowledge of and experience with these disparate cultures will have advantage in both life and work over those with a more insular and narrow education. Through encounters with contemporary literature, boys can develop a greater understanding, sensitivity and passion regarding the complexity, depth and diversity of the global community. During the workshop, participates will explore the curricular possibilities of the study of contemporary world literature in middle and high school—taking into consideration various pedagogical approaches. Additionally, an assortment of texts will be surveyed including contemporary literature from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, as well as diasporic communities throughout the world. [Upper/Senior] [School Heads and Administrators, Reading/Language Teachers, Boarding/Residential Life]

C-15, Room E120 Building a Boy Friendly School Mark Merry, Principal, Marcellin College, Australia Marcellin College, a large independent school for boys in Melbourne, has experienced significant improvements in academic outcomes, the result of a strategic plan focused upon the whole range of school life, including pastoral care, accountability, teacher skill, and student motivation. The rationale for the plan has been that academic performance is best addressed as a 'cultural issue'. The plan has intervened at many levels to create a culture of higher expectations for students and teachers alike. The presenter has led this plan and used the process as a doctoral case study. This workshop will provide a review of the school experience, an analysis of what worked and what didn’t, and suggestions to those seeking to adapt this approach in their own schools.

D-1, Room E102 Using Sport Psychology to Help Boys Develop Resilience **This Workshop is also offered in Session B-1** Jason Bantjes, School Psychologist, Diocesan College, South Africa Helping boys to be happy, emotionally well-adjusted, relationship-enabled, and successful is the goal of many teachers. To achieve this we need to promote the psychological resilience of boys. This workshop will explore the concept of psychological resilience and describe some of the factors that contribute to boys’ psychological wellbeing and emotional health. Workshop participants will be prompted to think about strategies they might use to promote the psychological health of the boys in their care. Games and competitive sport in boys’ schools provide a unique opportunity for us to facilitate the acquisition of skills which promote psychological resilience. This workshop will describe how sports psychology techniques could be used to facilitate boys’ psychological resilience and emotional health while also promoting peak performance and success in competitive sport.

In particular, we will examine how schools can encourage faculty to stretch beyond comfortable boundaries and to take on leadership roles. The workshop leaders will share documents and propose strategies which encourage teachers to learn more about their craft and the boys with whom they work and play. The format will be discussion-based round table; participants are encouraged to bring their own methods and practices that have proven effective.

D-3, Room E105 From Pencils to Rockets: A Boy's World of Science Ronald Dantowitz, Director, Clay Center Observatory, Dexter School, USA This workshop highlights the use of hands-on K-12 astronomy and sky-watching activities to encourage curiosity and cultivation of scientific literacy. From climate change to medical discoveries to global politics, we are relent- lessly bombarded with the results of scientific studies that require proper interpretation to be meaningful. A scientifically literate boy has an enhanced ability to question, understand, and objectively evaluate the complex issues that shape our world. Examples of specific classroom activities and lessons are presented that facilitate the journey from curious boy to scientifically savvy and responsible world citizen. Science also provides an excellent example of the benefit of unwavering integrity. Researchers must adhere to strict rules of conduct and ethics in order to minimize bias and errors in their work. A lifelong interest in science may also help a boy to see his education as more than merely an accumulation of facts; it is a roadmap to a life of morality, integrity and global responsibility.

D-4, Room E251 The Making of Men: Implementing a Student Leadership Program **This Workshop is also offered in Session B-4** Marcus Edwards, Senior Chaplain, Anglican Church Grammar School, Australia Phil Cummins, Head of Senior School, Anglican Church Grammar School, Australia Giving boys opportunities to take positions of leadership in a school requires us to equip them with the knowledge, skills and experience they will need to succeed in these roles. It also requires a keen assessment of what will be required of them as Men of Character in leadership positions after School. This workshop charts the development and implementation of a Senior School Leadership Program, the opportunities that were created for student leadership, the curriculum and training developed for both boys and staff; and the cultural and ethical considera- tions that informed the process. The presentation will conclude with candid reflections on three years of practice and some observations on the limitations of the language of leadership in a school environment. The development of the Senior Leadership Program at ACGS occurred at the same time as the development of a strategic project with Swinburne University on Emotional Intelligence; the ways in which these two projects overlapped and informed each other will be discussed.

D-5, Room E120 New World for Teachers Working with Boys: Collaboration Across Schools Michael Fellin, School Chaplain, Neil McNeil High School, Canada Roberta Longpré, Upper School Coordinator, Wernham West Centre for Learning, Upper Canada College, Can- ada The workshop will describe a five-year research partnership between two teachers in Toronto boys' schools, one from Neil McNeil High School (a publicly funded Catholic school) and one from Upper Canada College (an independent school). The initial research was to examine "at risk" grade nine boys. Our results indicated that we could reduce academic risk if we could find ways to support our boys in their development as caring school citizens. The initial, narrow lens became wider as we learned more about the boys. Our findings have now influenced important school-wide change. We found the Toronto Boys' School Action Research group to be a supportive and dynamic structure that helped us set yearly research goals. Through our research as teacher learners, we have been collaborating, networking, and sharing beyond our individual schools. This workshop will be of interest to those who wish to embark on research-driven projects to improve the learning environment for boys, and who value professional collaboration and partnership - within and across schools - to achieve results.

Some experts focus on schools as a potential breeding ground for bullies as many feel this is where problems begin and prevention through education can occur. This session will focus on how one school is addressing bullying in all three divisions. Our Upper School team will present the findings of their faculty and student study of bullying/teasing from the perspective of the perpetrator, victim, and observer. The Middle School will discuss the current research on bullying and how they use peer mediation as a way to address issues. Finally, the Lower School will present some practical applications using the Decision Education model to teach the boys strategies in conflict resolution and character development. This is three divisions with one vision, to address bullying head on in their school. [Lower/Primary, Middle, Upper/Senior] [School Heads and Administrators]

D-7, Room P235 Prep Art Room Inquiring Boys: Using Brain Based Strategies to Develop Learning Skills **This Workshop is also offered in Session A-11** Abigail James, Developmental Learning Specialist, Rockhouse Associates, USA One advantage of boys’ schools is the attention to and development of the natural inquisitiveness of boys as an approach to learning. This workshop presents current research in cognitive gender differences as a basis to understanding the dynamic approach of boys to their world. Those findings will then provide a foundation for developing classroom practices which respond directly to boys’ active learning style. Teachers will build on that knowledge to plan new strategies to utilize the energy boys bring to learning, and those involved in curriculum development will discover new approaches to help boys with the learning process.

D-8, Room E223 Aiming for the Stars: Achieving Best Practice in Pastoral Care for Boys Andrew Jenkinson, Director of Pastoral Programme, Cranbrook School, Australia Pastoral care has always been at the heart of the Cranbrook School experience. However, during the past five years staff have devised and implemented a more effective and extensively resourced pastoral program for boys. In the Senior School, along with Year Conferences for Years 10, 11 and 12, peer support and mediation programs, student leadership programs, and morning pastoral periods run by House Tutors, the School now assigns one 50 minute timeslot per fortnight for a range of student wellbeing and values education lessons, delivered by external and internal presenters. Concurrently, the School has devised an innovative Teaching and Learning Framework based on the Dimensions of Learning model and is implementing it across the Senior School. Improving the effectiveness of the pastoral program and linking it more closely to the Framework are the next challenges. This workshop examines what the school has done in the area of student wellbeing and pastoral care, along with the ‘why’, ‘how’, ‘when’ and ‘where’ of the program, the way we are evaluating it and our thinking about future directions.

Using an inquiry based approach and considerable hands on activity, units of study have been developed that integrate studies of society, environment, and technology. Embedded with literacy and numeracy, there is a strong focus on science. Each year level commits a full term of study to their facet of ‘Eagle Eye’ to ensure 100 percent student participation and engagement in the program and ensure its effectiveness in developing the knowledge and understanding of the students. The program has won a variety of scientific and environmental education awards. [Lower/Primary, Middle, Upper/Senior] [School Heads and Administrators, Learning Specialists]

D-12, Room E121 Transmuting Texts into... Douglas Reuter, English Teacher, Academy of the New Church, USA According to Shailer Mathews, “One of the greatest services which the teacher can render to his nation is the un- compromising championship of ethical ideals. To arouse a man intellectually is dangerous unless he is also given moral stability.” Hear how making reading an experience rather than an assignment allows boys to practice using their ethical compasses and moral maps to orienteer the changing landscapes of life. Hear how books brought to life leave full fingerprints on more minds as opposed to the partial prints left by literary techniques alone. Hear how phenomenology in the classroom challenges and changes boys--and their teachers. [Upper/Senior]

This session will show how four high school students researched primary documents in their school's archives, interviewed and filmed WWII veterans as well as edited a documentary DVD that "wowed" audiences. Workshop participants will learn how boys can become historians who not only do credible original research but also convey their discoveries using popular video technology. Topics to be emphasized include: how to develop a "student-friendly" school archives, assign- ments that lend themselves to this format and technical tips from Andrew Rozario, the "Stephen Spielberg of Montgomery Bell Academy."
