Combining theory with practice, The Joys of Teaching Boys offers a framework for making writing a valuable experience for boys. At the core of the book are six points teachers should consider in setting up a supportive environment, and numerous techniques teachers can follow to motivate boys to write and discover their voices. This compelling resource builds on boys' natural interest in nonfiction, action-packed narrative, and graphic novels. It also taps the potential of poetry, and presents activities that take into consideration a variety of different learning styles.

The three-year-long transformation of Lawrence Heights Middle School from an underachieving, gang-ridden school with a high teacher attrition rate to a thriving, diverse school whose reading, writing, and math scores rated above average in the province is described in this personal account by the school's agent of change: the principal. Anecdotal stories of students throwing library books out the window during the principal's first tour of the school accompany inspiring stories of students who excelled beyond the expectations of a community dominated by public-housing complexes. Practical theories and real-life applications from a leading expert on inner-city revitalization offer hope and strategies for instilling pride and dignity in at-risk students.
