About the Author:

     Dr. Kelley King is an author, educational consultant, international speaker and certified online instructor, including 8 years spent working closely with the Gurian Institute as a master certified trainer and Associate Director. 

     In all of her roles, Kelley draws on her 30+ years of experience in public and private education (both as a teacher and administrator at the elementary, middle and high school levels), along with her specialized knowledge of science and pedagogy, to increase the academic achievement and social-emotional well-being of all students.

     Kelley has always prided herself in mixing energy, humor, interactivity, science and common-sense and research-based practical strategies in her work with educators.

     Kelley’s third book, Writing the Playbook: A Practitioner's Guide to Creating a Boy-Friendly School, was released by Corwin Press in March 2013.
