Performing Gender In The Elementary Classroom, Gail Masuchika Boldt
Occasional Paper Series
This paper raises questions about teachers’ interventions into children’s exchanges around gender in elementary classrooms.

However, these views fell short of incorporating the breadth of knowledge offered by adolescent development …
