Michael Gurian and Troy Kemp at Our Winter Institute!

January 10, 2020
-
Posted by Michael Gurian

The Gurian Winter Training Institute (WI) is just around the corner.   It will be held on the beautiful campus of the Lovett School, in Atlanta, GA.  To learn more and to register, please click: https://gurianinstitute.com/events/gurian-winter-institute-2020/.  We hope to see you there!

If you can do it, please feel free to bring teams to the WI.  A number of schools from around the country are doing this, and it can be a great way to take back to your school and community the wealth of knowledge you will receive.   You can also certify trainers at this WI.  Here is more about the keynoters.

Dr. Michael Gurian, Saturday, January 25, Protecting the Emotional Lives 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 his newest books, The Stone Boys (2019), The Minds of Girls (2018), and Saving Our Sons (2017),  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, including ways to help boys open up their emotions in boy-friendly ways, and successes and implications of the digital brain on education and parenting of all children.  As Michael 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, boys’ empathy development, 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 and The Stone Boys 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.

Troy Kemp, Executive Director, National Center for the Development of Boys, and Director of Admissions, Ron Clark Academy, Sunday, January 26, Keynote, Part I: Getting the Best Results in the Classroom and Beyond; Part II: Trauma and Learning: Gender-Specific, Trauma-Informed Strategies for Helping Children Learn and Grow

How do we best motivate students to accomplish difficult tasks? How do we coach and counsel  students to rise to every challenge? Join Troy Kemp in the first part of his morning keynote as he motivates and inspires us to expand our playbook inside and outside the classroom.

Troy is an internationally recognized keynote speaker whose dynamic approach to teaching and mentoring boys has led him to his positions as Executive Director of the National Center for the Development of Boys and Director of Admissions at the Ron Clark Academy.  He has spent 25 years in classrooms, coaching, and in administration–nurturing, motivating and empowering young students and athletes.

Growing up in a migrant working family, he spent his childhood in public school on Long Island where he witnessed and experienced many of the challenges and tragedies that boys often face in our culture.  A powerful speaker and social thinker, he is able to dig deeply into his subjects while remaining always practical and science-based.

Part II of Troy’s keynote focuses on trauma-informed classrooms (Adverse Childhood Experiences, ACE’s).   Troy will help teachers and others, including parents, to develop trauma sensitive classrooms and environments across the socioeconomic and school spectrum. He will discuss the impact trauma has on teachers, students, and parents, and how traumatic situations keep the brain in fight/flight mode, causing children to struggle. Participants will learn practical strategies for building strong relationships and attachments with traumatized children.

 

Praise from Previous Gurian Training Institutes

 

“I came as a therapist and mother and found myself energized and excited in both areas. This work universally taps into what we are all thinking and feeling every day.”

“The workshop and information on impacts of digital life on the social emotional growth of children felt so current and powerful, my team and I are already talking about a new plan for our school’s digital platform.”

“Powerful strategies and solutions for building social emotional confidence in both boys and girls.”

“I especially liked Gurian’s approach to STEM–it is brain-based in a way I have not seen anywhere else. I’ll take it back into our STEM school with confidence.”

“Great practical strategies and new ways of understanding the impact of sex and gender on learning and behavior.”

“Incredible. Captivating. I found myself taking ferocious notes!”

“I can’t wait to take everything back to my school and community. This was a life-changing weekend.”

“Fantastic. Thank you so much!”
