Relating to what Lizz and Leah shared about creating a gender construct in the classroom, I thought I would share this cool commercial I saw, it played during the last super bowl. Shows the growing concern and interest in providing a wide range of toys for all children regardless of gender, and encouraging young girls to be excited about math and science.
Here’s an article I found that also covers the topic of gender constructs, superheroes aren’t just for boys!
