A message from Steve Biddulph
“The evidence from neuroscience is clear – while we are all human, there are unique risks, and unique potentials, in being a boy or a girl.
“Whether you work in a co-ed or single-sex school, whether you are a teacher, principal, counsellor or health worker, you need to understand and be equipped to deal with the unique challenges of gender and development.
“I am delighted to join with Australia’s very best speakers in presenting these powerful and exhilarating day seminars, where you can hear close up what works and get specific and practical help to change young lives.” -Steve Biddulph
About this event
Booked Out’s calendar of events in 2012 will include a schedule of ground-breaking multi-presenter professional development days.
Two full-day seminars will be held in each location. The Thursday will focus on girls’ issues, the Friday on boys’ issues. Both seminars will be unique in content so you can choose to attend one or both days.
Each day will run from 9am to 3.30pm and account for 6.5 PD hours.
