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 member of the Maryland State Board of Education.

In this keynote, Dr. Greene shares 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 three years of focusing on this work.  The Gurian Institute is honored to have trained cadres and trainers in the Maryland Pilot Schools.

In addition, this keynote will include anecdotes, recommendations, and practical strategies to educate boys of color that you can use right away.  Dr. Greene was a teacher and administrator in public schools in Maryland, and after her retirement, founded a school for boys.  The vision and mission of the school led her to the Gurian Summer Institute in 2007, and she became a Gurian Master Trainer in 2010.  She brings decades of experience to her work.
