Criteria for Model School Designation

Designated a Gurian Institute Model School, a school agrees to the following:

• Provide Gurian Institute training to all staff/administration of the school
• Provide parent presentations on Boys and Girls Learn Differently, open to general community
• Send representative(s) to the annual Summer Institute in Colorado Springs
• Agree to provide the Gurian Institute Training Division (GITD) with ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of gender-specific strategies that have been implemented
• Agree to provide annual test score and other success data with the GITD
• Allow GITD to share information about the school with other schools so that they can benefit from the experiences of the Model School
• Upon receipt of Model School designation, the school will send a press release to local media sharing the information
• The Model School will identify itself as a Gurian Institute Model School whenever appropriate in marketing and PR materials

If the Model School sponsors certification for a trainer from their school, that trainer may provide in-service training to model school staff only to meet this requirement.
