How Girls Thrive: An Essential Guide for Educators (and Parents) JOANN DEAK List Price $27 Member Price $20 Item #B07 NAIS, 1998 95 pages The toughest job for our schools today is coping with change — change in American families, and change in their expectations of the school’s role in raising their children. Evans argues that a widespread loss of confidence and competence among parents increasingly anxious about their children’s success is changing the function of schools, leading them to take on many of the responsibilities of childrearing — the “family matters.” Evans argues for limits and leverage, allowing schools to be accountable for what they do best, but also offers school-based solutions to the growing conflict.

Teaching strategies and structures are helpful, but not enough. This engaging guide delineates the three essential components of selfesteem in girls and the implications for educators — and parents.
