I hope this link works....I used the journal search through the SPC account. For those of you that cannot access the link, I will briefly summarize it. Basically, research has shown that male students perform better with male teachers while female students perform better with female teachers. This news was astounding to me. I was under the assumption that it would depend on the teacher him/herself, compared to the gender of the teacher. Also, they had a website on their called www.freerice.com that donates 20 pounds of rice through the United Nations Food Program. If you teach middle school or high school, this is a great way for students to study vocabulary for SATs in addition to helping feed the hungry people across the world. Take care.

Thanks for this site!
That's an interesting study. I work in an all boys school, and we have mostly male teachers. I will say that since we are in a single sex educational environment, our female teachers are invaluable, and they can teach our boys many things the male teachers cannot.
This may be a bit off topic from the study, but I believe students should learn from as diverse a faculty as possible, especially in age, gender, and culture.
