Last summer, Supporting Our Sons again joined Bay Area educators for our Boyhood Advocacy Training for Teachers (BATT) - an innovative training series designed to help bridge the gap between home and school for boys.

The BATT Summer Institutes bring together educators from public and private schools, ranging from pre-school to middle school for workshops that provided information and strategies on enriching classrooms, enhance teaching practices, and encouraging communication - so boys can have an optimal learning experience that supports their social, emotional, and academic successes.
