Gifted Females: Role Models for teaching females

Hello! Well, I was researching today for my Gifted and Talented classes and came across some amazing statistics I just had to share!

• There are 76 women in the House of Representatives and 359 men.
• There are 17 women in the Senate and 83 men.
• 41 women have won the Nobel Prize and 765 men...the first woman was Marie Curie!

We have got to encourage our female students to look at gifted females for role models. A favorite clip of mine encouraging females comes from a great movie, "Akeelah and the Bee".

Take a look guys:
