Workshop
- Writing the Playbook: A Game Plan for a Boy-Friendly School: This seminar provides educators with a step-by-step plan for increasing boys' achievement and reducing discipline problems. If you have academic achievement gaps or higher rates of discipline or special education referral rates for boys, it is time to understand the root causes and take action. This seminar is simultaneously heartwarming, humorous and hard-hitting, as participants learn the very nature of boys and are empowered to take immediate action to re-engage those boys that we are being lost to under-achievement and apathy.
