Leadership for Learning:
Strategy Employed to close the Gender Gap.
As educators, we know that boys and girls perform comparably in the areas of math and science.
Therefore, if girls perform as well as boys, why are girls not selecting science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics (STEM) classes at the middle school and high school levels? To this end, the
Worthington City School District (Worthington Schools) is working to inspire girls and other
underrepresented populations to study STEM subjects and pursue degrees in STEM fields. Because we
believe the problem is deeply culturally engrained, we are employing Dr. Bill Daggett’s (International
Center for Leadership) Rigor, Relevance and Relationship Framework to increase the number of girls in
