How can classroom interaction be improved?
Academies should provide training to instructors on classroom interaction and group process for female students in the male-dominated classroom. While some instructors instinctually are good at this, not all are, but this is a skill that can be learned. The Cisco Learning Institute, in collaboration with the Academy for Educational Development, has developed a Gender Module to be incorporated into the Cisco Networking Academy Program instructor training. Academy Program instructors can access this, as well as the Placeware presentation conducted by IWITTS, through CNAMS.
