“The Gurian training was the best professional development I ever had; it changed my teaching career—it gave me a different angle on education. The applications are practical, user friendly, and do not require a huge investment of money or technology.”
“The Gurian Institute’s approach teaches brain-based learning theory that recognizes gender differences in learning and combines the theory with effective strategies that bring out the best in both genders. Our implementation of the superb Gurian Institute methods proves that ALL students can achieve proficiency if teaching is directed at how they learn best.”
“The Gurian team helped us with our children's social emotional development and social media responsibility in very practical and life-changing ways, helping us understand the NextGen. The Digital Brain was a particularly powerful talk and training.“
“Michael Gurian’s work in gender is at the leading edge of our profession and can significantly affect the field of psychology.”
“Michael Gurian provides invaluable insight into how understanding our children’s unique core natures can help us raise happy, successful, and emotionally fulfilled children.”

have been trained in the Institute’s programs and interventions from thousands of schools across the world with some schools becoming “GI Model Schools.” We provide the critical training missing from most post-secondary education related to how boys and girls learn. We have also reached more than one million parents with practical training for raising and educating boys and girls in the digital age.
Data Matters
Get ready to improve teacher effectiveness, student achievement, school safety, mental health wellness, social media responsibility, and parent involvement. Gurian training is not an expensive new curriculum. Its holistic nature grows from its fidelity to all three fundamental areas of child development: nature, nurture, and culture. It builds understanding of boys and girls in curricular, extra-curricular, and behavioral areas.
Testimonials
“This is one of the best PDs I have had after 18 years of teaching. So much normal PD is repetitive ‘how-to’ information with new names to old ideas. This PD was fresh, new information that will be helpful and quickly instituted in the classroom. Hopefully, our whole school and parents will be able to receive this information.”
``We understand that boys and girls need different approaches as we manage classroom behavior, and when school disciplinary measures are needed, we are more effective in working through these issues because we know how to communicate differently with each gender, taking in account that each person, male and female, is also different.``
We are very proud of our partnership with Dr. Gregory Jantz, Founder of The Center, A Place of Hope, as well as our partnership with the Center itself, located in Edmonds, WA, a suburb of Seattle. Dr. Jantz and his wife, Lafon, founded the Center more than 30 …
