About NASSPE
What is NASSPE? What is our mission?
Who are we?
NASSPE is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of single-sex public education for both girls and boys. NASSPE serves three essential functions in this regard:
1) as a provider of professional development opportunities for teachers, sharing the latest research about different teaching strategies for girls and boys.
Professional development events sponsored by NASSPE -- more than 250 events in all -- have now taken place in almost every corner of the United States, from Alaska to south Florida and from Connecticut to
to southern California, as well as Kamloops (British Columbia), Calgary (Alberta), and multiple venues in Ontario.
2) as a resource for teachers, parents and administrators considering single-sex educational programs. For example, NASSPE's ongoing conferences and professional workshops
have provided educators from around the United States with invaluable lessons learned -- by their fellow public-school educators -- in making the transition from coed public school to single-sex academy.
3) as a clearinghouse for relevant facts and information about public schools and classrooms in the United States.
For example: how many public schools in the United States offer single-sex classrooms? How many public schools in the United States are completely single-sex?
What exactly are the legal constraints applicable to public schools in the US offering single-sex classrooms? You'll find answers to all those questions here.
Dr. Leonard Sax chairs NASSPE's governing
board. For an up-to-date listing NASSPE's advisory board,
