In Doing What Works, the U.S. Department of
Education recommends that teachers encourage
girls in math and science by showing students
female role models to counter gender stereotypes
and increase self-esteem, interest, and
achievement in academic - especially in STEM
(science, technology, engineering and math).
Doing so, girls show high confidence that they can
succeed as students and as professionals.
Through entertaining story-telling, the Rainbow
Girls stories tie into recommended practices for
encouraging girls in their academic studies:
- Ability is Expandable..... showing readers how
their brain grows when they practice and learn new
material;
- Female Role Models..... to counter gender
stereotypes;
- Sparking Curiosity..... demonstrating the path to
a career fosters long-term interest in academics.
This will set them on a path to success in life.
