Posted by Michael Gurian

Our Summer Training Institute is set for the weekend of June 12-14, 2020 at beautiful Army and Navy Academy in Carlsbad, California.  Army and Navy Academy (www.armyandnavyacademy.org) is a Gurian Model School and sits right on the beach.  We are honored that the school has hosted us now for six years, and we thank everyone there for their wonderful job supporting visitors and guests.

To learn more about the Summer Institute 2020, please click https://gurianinstitute.com/events/gurian-summer-institute-2020/.   On that site you’ll learn about our speakers, the location, logistics, and you can register.   If you can bring groups of five or more, you’ll see a discount and information on the website.   If you want to become a Gurian Certified Trainer, you’ll see information on the website about the extra Trainer session on Monday morning.  To learn more about becoming a Gurian Trainer, click https://gurianinstitute.com/trainer-certification/.

Here is more about our Keynote Speakers.  Over the next few months, we’ll feature all our speakers and their topics.  We will have more than a dozen impactful and important sessions for you to choose from.

Dr. Michael Gurian, June 13,
The Minds of Boys and Girls, with a special section on the Digital Brain (screen time, social media, video games, and smartphones)

In this dynamic keynote presentation, Dr. Gurian will explore how the minds of boys and girls learn and grow, including brain differences that impact education and social emotional development throughout the lifespan.  He will provide insight into new genetic resources available to schools and families, the impact of environmental and cultural neuro-toxins on the learning brain, best teaching, parenting, counseling, and mentoring practices for both girls and boys, and safe, effective electronics and technology standards for various stages of child development.

Michael’s presentation will include PET, SPECT, and MRI scans that display brain differences, and he will bring the latest research in both of his newest nonfiction books, Saving Our Sons (2017) and The Minds of Girls (2018), focusing on educating, raising, and counseling boys, and educating, raising, and counseling girls.

Two primary topics will be social-emotional development tools for teachers, parents, and others, and successes and implications of the digital brain on education and parenting.  As he looks at the growing brain through the lens of gender science, he will explore themes on everyone’s mind today, including transgender questions and gender fluidity, what constitutes “toxic masculinity,” girl drama and relational aggression, girls and STEM learning, and brain-based boy-friendly learning strategies.

Michael will also lead two working lunch discussions.  The books that underlie these discussions are Saving Our Sons for Saturday and The Minds of Girls for Sunday.  We hope you will read these books ahead of time.  In these working lunches, we will study and strategize regarding violence/suicide prevention, and mental and emotional health in our school communities.

Marion Hill, June 14, Sunday Keynote: The Culture We Make: Working Effectively with Children of Color in the Classroom and in Their World.

A youth football coach, mentor, and child advocate, Marion Hill has worked with children of color throughout his professional life.  He currently serves as an administrator for Head Start and serves as a Gurian Certified Trainer with the Greater Phoenix Urban League.  Dynamic, visionary, and deeply committed to giving back, Marion is the founder of M.A.N.C.A.V.E. (Men All Need to be Caring Actively-Engaged, and Encouraged), a fatherhood program designed to encourage fathers/male role models to be actively engaged in their child’s growth and development.

In his morning keynote, Marion Hill focuses specifically on the learning and life-needs of children of color.  Marion will explore current issues of culture and conflict, including ways that boys of color escalate anger and withdrawal.  As he tells his own powerful story, Marion will utilize anecdotes from his two decades of work in this field, and feature success strategies for helping boys and girls of color in under-resourced neighborhoods and classrooms.

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

 


 

Second Sunday Morning Keynote.  The Stone Boys:  Gender-Specific, Trauma-Informed Strategies for Helping Children Learn and Grow, with Dr. Michael Gurian.

For three decades, Michael has been counseling clients of trauma.  Michael is also a product of childhood trauma himself, scoring a 7 out of 10 on  (Adverse Childhood Experiences, ACE’s).  The publication of his newest book, The Stone Boys, makes public some of his own trauma as a boy.  In his professional work, Michael has developed trauma-informed frameworks for resilience-building and purpose-development in children.

This second morning keynote focuses on helping teachers, counselors, and parents develop trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive classrooms and environments.  Michael will delve deeply into brain differences between females and males, and discuss the impact that trauma and these differences can have on teachers, students, and parents.  Michael will weave practical strategies into his keynote, and participants will walk away with numerous tools to use immediately in their work and life.

We hope you will read The Stone Boys ahead of time for a deep dive into boys’ responses to trauma.
