"The Minds of Boys and Girls" presented by Michael Gurian
Michael Gurian has been called “the people’s philosopher” for his ability to dynamically combine cutting edge science with stories from people’s everyday lives. Based on twenty five years of research in brain science, education, and practical parenting, this keynote traces how a child’s learning mind grows, how girls’ and boys’ learn and grow differently, how acculturation influences boys and girls, and how crucial school success has become to life success.
Michael brings to life not only the developmental science of girls’ and boys’ minds, but practical methods by which to educate those minds. This community presentation will leave the attendees with a new vision of what boys and girls need both in schools and in their homes and communities and confidence in caring for them in a high-pressure world.
