A few words about me...

Kelley King is a 20+ year veteran of the public school system, an international speaker, an author, and the mother of both a son and a daughter. As Associate Director and a Certified Trainer for the Gurian Institute, Kelley travels widely to deliver keynotes, teacher workshops, and consultation to educators and parents. Additionally, she develops cutting-edge training curricula for both on-site trainings and online coursework and supports the development and marketing of GI certified trainers around the world.



Kelley’s education background includes licensure in special education, regular education and school administration. She has worked at the elementary, middle and high school levels in regular education, special education and gifted and talented programs. Kelley has worked in schools serving diverse racial, linguistic and socioeconomic student populations, as well as schools ranging from rural, one-room schoolhouses to large suburban schools. Kelley has provided teacher training in a number of inner-city, Title I schools across the country.  



For the past ten years, Kelley has been a school administrator. Kelley and the staff at Douglass Elementary School in Boulder Colorado gained national media attention for their notable success in closing the literacy achievement gap between boys and girls in just one year.



Kelley’s work has been featured on The Today Show, National Public Radio, and National Health Journal, as well as in Newsweek magazine and in Educational Leadership. Kelley co-authored (with Michael Gurian and Kathy Stevens) two books which were released in March 2008: Strategies for Teaching Boys and Girls: Elementary Level and Strategies for Teaching Boys and Girls: Secondary Level.
