Cleveland, a former teacher who designs, develops, and produces content and materials for graduate courses for K-12 teachers, aims to help them understand boys who are underachieving, why they are struggling, and how they can intervene. She presents findings from studies about how boys learn best, discusses relevant social and learning style factors, and offers a model to help lead them on a path to becoming successful learners, which involves replacing negative attitudes, reconnecting them with school, rebuilding life and learning skills, and reducing the need to use unproductive and distracting behaviors as a means of self-protection. She also shares lessons plans and stories from teachers in all grades and subjects. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
