Here are five featured workshops and trainers.
Becoming a Man: What Does it Mean to Boys, and How Do We Teach it? with Gurian Master Trainer, Rob Kodama. For more than 20 years, Rob has worked as a teacher, coach, and Director of Admissions at Crespi Carmelite High School for Boys in Encino, CA. With his colleagues, he has developed a leading edge “Becoming a Man” course for the young men. In this workshop, Rob will explore the experience of masculinity and manhood the boys are living and trying to live, and how adults can help boys live it wisely, empathically, and successfully. Because Rob has taught the course to a widely diverse group of boys from all races and socio-economic origins, he has developed both a culturally sensitive and universally applicable wisdom on masculine and male development. This workshop will include strategies, anecdotes, stories, and action plans you can use right away.
Empowering Boys and Girls in Single Sex Classrooms and Cultures, with Amy Coe, Assistant Dean of Academics, Army and Navy Academy. This workshop is designed for teachers, administrators, counselors, and all those interested in developing a deeper understanding of what works in single sex school cultures, and why. The workshop is divided into three sections: useful brain-based sex differences based on Michael Gurian’s work; practical classroom strategies for teacher and student mentoring of boys and girls; and strategies to nurture the nature of boys and girls in single sex school “emotional” cultures (the hidden worlds of both boys and girls).
Comments from Past Participants
“This training is for everyone–administrators, teachers, leaders, parents, and our kids themselves. Eye-opening, and so practical!”
“The brain-based approach to trauma-informed teaching adds a powerful layer to trauma training. This gender-brain perspective is the missing piece. Thank you!”
“The sessions were diverse and the presenters kept us focused not only on scientific theory but especially on Strategies! This was so important, so powerful for me.”
“I think of myself as ‘zoomed out’ these days, but Michael Gurian, Eva Dwight, and the whole GI team really know how to translate the material to the online format. The Tele-Summit worked very well.”
“I am becoming a Gurian Certified Trainer so that I can keep bringing this information to my school and our parent body. This weekend prepared me very well to keep the work going!”
“I came as a parent first and mental health counselor second, but I ended up learning a lot in both categories. I now believe this Gurian theory and strategies can change our counseling systems for the better, and I have a lot to take home with me.”
“The Gurian Institute consistently provides some of the best professional development I experience, and I have been teaching more than 25 years!”
