Many thanks to everyone who participated in our 26th annual Summer Training Institute this last weekend.  Many of you are still participating via recordings on a registrants’ website.  We are honored to be serving nearly 400 of you in your work with children.

Please reach out to us at info@gurianinstitute.com for anything you need, and please visit www.gurianinstitute.com if you want to learn more about what we do.  Note:  our newsletter will move to summer schedule after this week.  Thanks again for your interest in our work!

Here are some of the things people are saying about Summer Institute 2024.

“Every year this is some of the best professional development I have had in my long teaching career.  The combination of science and real life examples is always interesting to me.  This year the new science on the brain and the discussion of AI was especially fascinating.”

“Our boys in schools are really struggling, but when I try to bring this up to my principal, she isn’t sure we should talk about it.  This conference talks about it!  Now I have a lot of material to take back to my school and my principal so that we can address the elephant in the room.”

“I brought a team from my school and everyone said they can’t wait to watch the rest of the sessions.  We all agreed this PD should be essential for every school and every teacher.”

“The brain scans were amazing, and the new research on how the fetal brain already looks different between boys and girls blew my mind.  We definitely have to address boys’ and girls’ issues in school along with trans and gender issues.  They are all important.”

“The work on equity and inclusion is so helpful.  Including early childhood was important to me.  I’m glad the Gurian Institute is helping early childhood environments–we need to start this work with kids as young as possible.”

“I have taught or been in administration in elementary, middle, and high school over 27 years.  The GI PD  is in my top 3 for best PD I have ever participated in.”
