Process Break
What are the positives and negatives of these various states,
as far as you can tell? What are the specific questions or
concerns that come up for how to support children?
In what ways do you see your
students:
-internalizing and conforming to
gender norms and stereotypes
-feeling pressured to conform to
gender stereotypes
-being little affected by gender
stereotypes
-actively non-conforming to
gender stereotypes
