Susan Goetz, Associate Professor of Education, College of St. Catherine |
Goetz has recently had her book published: Science for Girls, Successful Classroom Strategies, by Scarecrow Publishing. While written as a textbook for elementary and middle school teachers, the book is also appropriate for parents of young women. |
Goetz’s book looks at the history of achievement by girls in the area of science as well as the failure by girls to choose rigorous science courses later in their school careers leading of course to diminished numbers of women entering the science professions. Original St. Kate research is quoted in the book and activities that teachers and parents can use to motivate girls (and boys) to maintain interest in all things science. |
