Our Gurian Summer Training Institute will take place virtually on June 27 – 28. This will be our 28th Summer Training Institute on how boys and girls learn and grow differently, and the theory and strategies that allow for each child’s potential to be realized in classrooms and beyond.

We do this event virtually so that schools and organizations can participate in small cohorts and large groups, including full faculty at some schools. Having cohorts and groups helps inculcate useful theory, solutions, and strategies into whole systems.

We also like the virtual modality because it allows people worldwide to join. Every year we have registrants from other continents and cultures, which enriches the conversation for everyone.  Because the whole event is recorded, it is available to you and your systems, near and far, long after the weekend itself.  Some schools choose to watch the recordings on weekdays rather than on the weekend as a professional development opportunity.

New Trainer certification will take place on Monday morning, June 29, virtually as well.

A webpage about the Summer Training will go live in February on www.gurianinstitute.com. You and your teams will be able to register there. Stay tuned to our website and this newsletter for more details.

Meanwhile, please save the date!  And in the interim, to see what we’ve done in the past, go to the Events page on www.gurianinstitute.com and check out our archived Training Institutes.

A Note from the What Boys Need As Males Conference

This note is from Jeanne Falla (jeannefalla64@gmail.com) who lives in the San Francisco Bay area. She has given us permission to publish her email address. She would like to network with others in the Bay area. She writes: “Hello Gurian Staff: I attended the online What Boys Need Conference (1/24-1/25/2026).  I live in the SF Bay Area and would love to network with fellow supporters, particularly women supporter – which could be in person at the local level or virtual level. Advocating for boys/men is still not as politically/socially acceptable as it should be, so the more opportunities there are to network and grow grassroots support, the better.”
