Nearly daily, we receive emails or calls from teachers, administrators, community members, and others regarding issues facing boys and girls in school and how GI can help. A recent example read this way: “I am a high school teacher and have been for 25 years. I am extremely concerned about our young men. I have been sounding the alarm for the past 5 years. What are the next steps we have to take? How can GI help us solve this problem in our schools?”
Because GI has been addressing boys’ and girls’ issues for more than 25 years, we wrote back an email with suggestions and services linked to GI. This email comprises today’s blog post. If you are looking to solve boy’s and girls’ issues in your school and community, please contact us. Summer PD is around the corner. We can help with that right away, and we can help with ongoing programs. Training and support are keys to this work.
Thank you for sounding the alarm and reaching out. We will add you to our mailing list so you get our Wednesday newsletter. As you may know, we’ve been sounding this alarm and providing solutions for 25 years. On our website, www.gurianinstitute.com, you’ll see action steps at your disposal. Check out the Success, Programs, and Products pages.
For blog posts on what our culture must do in general to help youth, please see the News page of www.gurianinstitute.com.
In terms of services, a next step for you school might be to bring Training/PD there for Summer PD days and beyond. Our Boys and Girls Learn Differently® and Minds of Boys and Girls® trainings are tailored to your schools’ needs. Check out the Programs Button on www.gurianinstitute.com. Our packages and pricing are on the Contact page. Our PD fits nearly every budget, and can be funded via Title and similar funds.
Our school-based training can also happen or be augmented via our Educator online course, which we discount for whole school faculty/staff. Check out: https://gurianinstitute.com/products/boys-and-girls-learn-differently-online-course/.
You could become a Gurian Certified Trainer. See the Trainer page, specifically, https://gurianinstitute.com/trainer-certification/.
Our Summer Training Institute is Virtual in June: https://gurianinstitute.com/events/gurian-summer-institute-2023/. You and a group from your school could attend that. It is a dynamic virtual event that serves hundreds of educators every year.
Another program we have specifically around boys and the boy crisis is our Helping Boys Thrive Summit®. You can bring that to your city. See this site for that: www.helpingboysthrive.org.
We hope you, your school, and your community will partner with us to solve these very deep social issues. As you indicated, action is needed. Words are good, but training and the actions that result from it speak even louder.
