Join Keynoter Marion Hill and the Head Start Team at Our Summer Event!

April 19, 2024

Posted by Michael Gurian

We are honored to have Marion Hill, Program Coordinator of Head Start of Phoenix, and Founder of M.A.N.C.A.V.E., as our second Sunday Morning Keynoter.  Marion Hill is back by popular demand–a very powerful and practical speaker on issues of male development.   He will not only provide the keynote but also a workshop.  Dr. Ariana Lopez, Education Director in the Head Start team, will  provide two workshops on early childhood education, as well.

Registrants for our Summer Institute can join Mr. Hill, Dr. Lopez, and and our other keynoters and workshop presenters on June 22 – 23 live, and/or access the recordings of the whole Summer Institute for three weeks beyond the two days of the training.  To learn more about event and to register, please visit https://gurianinstitute.com/events/gurian-summer-institute-2024/.  To register groups of 5 or more, contact Dakota Hoyt at info@gurianinstitute.com.  Now here’s more about the keynote and workshops from this stellar Head Start team.

Marion Hill, Second Morning Keynote, Sunday, June 23. The Fathering Advantage: How Men Matter to Education, and How to Engage Men Deeply

A former coach and youth mentor, Marion Hill is Program Director for Head Start and a Gurian Certified Trainer with the Greater Phoenix Urban League.  Dynamic, visionary, and deeply committed to social change, Marion founded M.A.N.C.A.V.E. (Men All Need to be Caring Actively-Engaged, and Encouraged), a fathering and male-friendly program designed to encourage fathers/male role models to be actively engaged in their child’s growth, education, and development.

In his morning keynote, Marion Hill will present some of his own powerful, developmental story as an African-American boy growing up ina military family around the world.  He will also use anecdotes from his two decades of work in child development, athletic coaching, and male engagement to bolster audience understanding of the crucial role men play in children’s lives.

As he tells his own powerful story, Marion will bring to life evidence-based success strategies M.A.N.C.A.V.E. is using as it works to help children and schools in under-resourced neighborhoods and classrooms.  Because of his work in Hispanic/Latino communities in Arizona, Marion will also provide culture-specific success strategies for engaging Black and Latino fathers and male role models in their children’s social-emotional development.

Early Childhood Emphasis Workshop.  Starting Early:  The Success of  Minds of Boys and Girls Training in Early Childhood Family and School Environments, with Marion Hill, Program Coordinator for Head Start, Founder of M.A.N.C.A.V.E. and Gurian Master Trainer.  As Program Coordinator for Head Start of Phoenix, Marion has supervised local efforts to bring parents on board with a child’s early education for more than two decades.  He spearheaded the Gurian Institute programs in Phoenix Head Start programs and founded M.A.N.C.A.V.E, (Men All Need to be Caring Actively-Engaged, and Encouraged), a Nurturing Fathers program.  In this workshop, he will share how the Gurian Institute work came into Head Start and parent engagement networks, the success of the programs in helping with child mental health as well as academics and parent support, and practical strategies from his work in the community, including what does not work with busy and distracted parents, including parents whose native language is not English and parents of color.

To learn more about Marion, please visit Marion’s Gurian Institute Trainer page.

Early Childhood Workshops with Dr. Ariana Lopez

Teaching a Love of Words:  Best Practices for Literacy Learning in Preschool Classrooms with Dr. Ariana Lopez, Gurian Certified Trainer.  As Education Director at the Greater Phoenix Urban League, Ariana leads educational innovations in early childhood literacy learning.  She has worked with diverse populations, including ESL learners, for more than two decades.  In the Greater Phoenix Urban League – Gurian Institute Pilots in Phoenix, Arizona, Ariana has made sure that literacy is a major classroom focus.  In this workshop, Ariana will share and model programs and strategies that have worked to augment and improve early literacy at the Cartwright Child Care Center, a Gurian Model School.  She will also discuss the differences in how boys and girls come to literacy and share strategies from coed and single gender classes.

Essential Early Childhood:  Boys and Girls Learn Differently Strategies for Our Youngest Children, with Dr. Ariana Lopez Gurian Certified Trainer.   This workshop grows from the Gurian Institute Pilot programs in the Head Start and the Greater Phoenix Urban League (GPUL) classrooms in the Cartwright School District, including at Cartwright Child Care Center, a Gurian Model School. Ariana is Education Coordinator with GPUL.  Her session will feature more than a dozen strategies, including single sex groupings, that they have used successfully in early childhood environments for meeting the cognitive, social, and emotional needs of boys and girls.  The chosen strategies successfully integrate into Teaching Strategies Gold, Creative Curriculum for Preschool, and CLASS.

To learn more about Dr. Lopez, please visit the Gurian Institute Trainer page.
