    Michael Gurian is a social philosopher, family therapist, corporate consultant, and the New York Times bestselling author of twenty books published in fifteen languages. The Gurian Institute, which he co-founded, conducts research internationally, launches pilot programs and trains professionals. Michael has been called "the people's philosopher" for his ability to bring together people's ordinary lives and scientific ideas.

    As a social philosopher, he has pioneered efforts to bring neuro-biology and brain research into homes, workplaces, schools and public policy. A number of his ground-breaking books in child development, including THE WONDER OF BOYS, BOYS AND GIRLS LEARN DIFFERENTLY! THE WONDER OF GIRLS and WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING? have sparked national debate. His newest work, THE MINDS OF BOYS (September 2005) provides a revolutionary new framework, based in neuro-biology, by which to understand and care for the educational needs of our sons.

    Michael has served as a consultant to families, corporations, therapists, physicians, school districts, community agencies, churches, criminal justice personnel and other professionals, traveling to approximately 20 cities a year to keynote at conferences. His training videos (also available as DVDs) for parents and volunteers are used by Big Brother and Big Sister agencies in the U.S. and Canada.

    As an educator, Michael previously taught at Gonzaga University, Eastern Washington University, and Ankara University. His speaking engagements include Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, Macalester College, University of Colorado, University of Missouri-Kansas City, and UCLA. His philosophy reflects the diverse cultures (European, Asian, Middle Eastern and American) in which he has lived, worked and studied.

    Michael's work has been featured in various media, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, Newsweek, Time, People, Reader's Digest, the Wall Street Journal, Parenting, Good Housekeeping, Redbook, and on the Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN, PBS and National Public Radio.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gem for All Teachers
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2014

An easy five stars from me for thoroughness, practicality, creativity, variety, and just enough scientific information to make it interesting.

The strategies in this book are very sensible and can be implemented in any classroom. Easy-to-incorporate ideas that will keep both boys and girls interested and learning are sprinkled throughout this work. Seasoned and novice teachers both will find tips and fresh ways of doing things that will generate interest and want-to in your male and female students.

Games that teach, practical ideas, choice boards (what student wouldn't want to choose his own assignment?), mentoring strategies, tips for classroom reading, how the brain influences the student-teacher bond, and much more very helpful information that I am looking forward to incorporating into my English language arts classes.

Simulations geared specifically for boys and simulations geared specifically for girls (but all can participate) are also included. Helpful information!

And to further assist you, tips for assigning homework and information on the effects of diet and sleep (or the lack thereof) are also packed into this book.

This book also addresses social issues, mentors, and real-life stresses that teens experience and, sadly, we adults often overlook.

Counterproductive trends and quotes from actual students telling what's helpful to them in the learning arena are eye openers.

Strategies for Teaching Boys & Girls is loaded with 156 pages of worthwhile information, including a bibliography to help further your study of this must-be-aware-of topic.

I could go on and on about this information-packed, well-put-together work; however, suffice it to say that the information in this gem will inject freshness into your teaching and will make you more mindful of the needs of your students. And that will produce students who are content, which will in turn produce students who are more productive.

I have really enjoyed reading this book and will be using ideas I gathered here when I develop lesson plans for my classes. The concepts are clear and well-supported and easy to implement, either in whole or in part. The ideas work well for mixed-gender classes as well as for single-gender classes. I recommended this book be added to my school library's professional resource section.

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2015

In and of itself this is probably a very good book, but I read it directly after reading Essential Questions and Making Thinking Visible. The activities in this book seemed more sophomoric than the others, although this does encompass a much larger subject area. At the end of each chapter there are a list of activities that deals with what the chapter is about. One chapter is devoted to increasing movement in the classroom; so the end of the chapter has a dozen or so movement related methods. Of these I can realistically see using only 2-3, although as a middle school teacher, I can envision others activities helping other grades. Of the three books I read this summer, this one has the most activities and for sheer numbers alone I would recommend reading through it as you will be able to find at least one a chapter that is relevant.

I teach High School Social Studies and found some interesting ideas and activities in here. Some of them are a little hokey or unrealistic in today's public school settings, but it certainly got me thinking about concrete ways to address gender differences in the classroom. Worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Applicable Ideas
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2009
As has been true in all of the books produced by Michael Gurian and the Gurian Institute trainers and associates the balance between theory and practicality, accessibility and applicability is well-maintained in the companion books: STRATEGIES FOR TEACHING BOYS AND GIRLS: ELEMENTARY LEVEL and STRATEGIES FOR TEACHING BOYS AND GIRLS: SECONDARY LEVEL.

Readers will find the inputs and sharing of practitioners, combined with information from researchers and educational presenters, to be immediately available for consideration in their schools.

The books provide examples, exhortations and other information that can easily be utilized in professional enrichment events, at the building or district level, as well as challenging the creativity of individual teachers seeking more effective ways of instruction for their classrooms. Readers will appreciate the age/grade specific suggestions that allow rapid assimilation to local settings.
