Charleston Private School Builds Confidence Pipeline to Empower Girls in 社会 Media Age

詹娜·希弗尔著; 邮政及速递 教育记者

“Girls experience a 30 percent confidence drop between the ages of 8 and 14, according to a 2018 survey conducted by Ypulse and the authors of 《女孩的自信守则》. At age 14, girls experience their lowest levels of confidence, the study found. For comparison, boys of the same age reported confidence levels 27 percent higher.

Experts say one way to tackle this confidence drop is by giving students structured opportunities to go out of their comfort zone and establish their own independence. This principle has guided 校长 Jill Muti’s vision for 十大最好的网赌平台, 一所私立女子学校[在查尔斯顿.] 

新科技政策, hands-on learning models and extensive leadership opportunities all contribute to what Muti refers to as its ‘confidence pipeline,’ a targeted learning experience tailored for students aged 2 through 18. The pipeline is implemented in a handful of different ways—an interdisciplinary curriculum not bound by standardized testing, abundant leadership opportunities and various wellness initiatives that emphasize healthy relationships and self-reliance.

The school has always placed building young girls’ confidence at the front of its mission since the school was established more than a century ago. Although social media and new technology have forced it to adapt, 学校的核心价值观保持不变, 穆蒂说. “从一开始, the mission of the school was for women to be independent, ethically responsible and ready to meet the challenges of society with confidence,穆蒂说.

The confidence pipeline aims to counteract social and emotional pressures girls face at each stage development, 从学龄前儿童开始. They learn autonomy and independence at a young age via hands-on nature walks and inquiry-based learning, 穆蒂说. Fifth- and sixth-grade girls learn how to program robots, seventh- and eighth-graders write their own honor codes, and high school students have the opportunity to lead their own class discussions and debates.

‘We need to build confidence in some ways the old-fashioned way by making connections and collaborating and giving those experiences of seeing technology for what it is, 但事实并非如此. “好,坏,丑。”穆蒂说. 大约两年半以前, 十大最好的网赌平台 began a partnership with The 社会 Institute, 一个达勒姆, North Carolina-based organization dedicated to teaching students how to make the most out of social media in a healthy way. 通过研讨会和分组会议, founder Laura Tierney aims to ‘empower and equip rather than scare and restrict’ what students do on social media. ‘It’s essentially character development in the 21st century,’ Tierney said.”
