Many of our boys, especially those of color, are falling behind academically and socially.  Dr. Greene and her colleagues have been instrumental in facilitating the Maryland Initiative:  Achieving Academic Equity and Excellence for Black Boys (AAEEBB).  Dr. Greene is also a former Maryland School Board Member.

In this keynote, Dr. Greene will share how she and colleagues were able to transform a heartfelt initiative into a funded action plan in Maryland counties and schools.  She will also share successes the Pilot schools are having after two years of focusing on this work.  The Gurian Institute is honored to have trained cadres and trainers in the Maryland Pilot Schools.

Because both Dr. Greene has worked with a widely diverse group of boys from all races and socio-economic origins, this keynote includes culturally relevant and universally applicable wisdom on male development.  Come prepared to learn instructional methods and structures that fit the developmental and learning needs of this demographic group,

This workshop will include anecdotes, stories, and action plans you can use right away.  Dr. Greene founded a boys’ school and was a teacher and principal in public schools in Maryland.  This is how the Gurian Institute met her.  She became a Gurian Master Trainer in 2007.  She brings decades of experience to her work.  Dr. Greene will be joined in this keynote by a special guest from the AAEEBB Task Force.
