Huntington Middle School: Michael Gurian on The Minds of Boys

Partnership for Awareness in partnership with The Huntington Middle School presents Michael Gurian, who will be speaking on “The Minds of Boys” – Helping Our Sons Do Their Best in School and Life, on Wednesday, December 9, 7:00 p.m., at the Huntington Middle School Auditorium.

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 how crucial school success has become to life success. Mr. Gurian brings to life not only the developmental science of boys’ minds, but practical methods by which to educate those minds. This presentation will leave you with a new vision of what boys need in schools, homes, and communities and the confidence in caring for them in a high-pressure world.

Admission: Free for PfA sponsors, for others a $10 per person donation is suggested. For more information on how to become a sponsor go to www.PartnershipForAwareness.org.
