About the Author\nMichael C. Nagel, PhD, is an educator, researcher, author, mentor and parent. As an Associate Professor in the School of Education at the University of the Sunshine Coast, he teaches and researches in the areas of human development, educational psychology, behaviour and learning. The author of many books and articles, Nagel is regarded as one of Australia's foremost experts in child development.\nWhat's really going on inside the head of a boy?\nWhat can neuroscience teach us about educating and raising boys?\nThis engaging book takes a close look at the male brain – how it develops, and how it is different – and the crucial role it plays in how a boy thinks, learns and engages with the world.\nMoving past the 'boys will be boys' dictum, Dr Michael C. Nagel gives us a guided tour of a boys' brain, and explains how differences in structure and neurochemistry impact their behaviour, learning, emotions and bodies. Exploring aggression, learning difficulties, behaviour, emotional problems, toxic masculinity and the challenges of technology, Nagel offers solutions and ideas for parents and teachers.\nDrawing on the latest research, Nagel applies neuroscientific insight to the common problems boys face, and argues that by understanding why boys do what they do, we can better work with them to increase their wellbeing and educational outcomes.

Timothy M. O'Leary is a firm believer that decisions about improvements, whether they be for a teacher or school, need to be based on fact, not fancy. In Classroom Vibe he uses data to demystify why some classrooms are primed for learning while others aren't and explains why strategies for change in schools often fail. In breaking down the atmosphere of the classroom as experienced by the students – the 'classroom vibe' – he gives teachers practical steps for improving theirs.\nThe author argues that when teachers focus their improvement efforts on the 'vibe' in each of their classrooms and school leaders focus on supporting their teachers in this endeavour, everyone benefits. He provides a clear framework that highlights how the culture of a classroom can determine whether important teaching strategies will succeed or fail.
