SELECT | Classroom Close-Up, NJ
The Marion P. Thomas Charter School in Newark runs a single-gender classroom program called SELECT (Scholars Electing Lifelong Education Character and Transformation). Teachers address different learning styles of boys and girls and incorporate various teaching methods and activities for the girls and boys. The program was initially established to bridge the achievement gap for African American boys and strengthen proficiency in science and math for girls.
