Michael C. Reichert Biography

Dr. Michael C. Reichert is an applied psychologist specializing in the healthy development of boys and men. Reichert serves as executive director of the Center for the Study of Boys' and Girls' Lives, a national research collaborative of independent schools in partnership with the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. Throughout his career, Reichert has worked with children and families, counseling youth involved in the juvenile justice system, leading treatment teams in psychiatric hospitals, and managing an independent clinical practice.

Reichert was instrumental in establishing the first school-based research center focused on the needs of boys, which evolved into a collaborative effort between independent schools and the University of Pennsylvania. His leadership at the Center led the International Boys' Schools Coalition, an organization of more than 300 schools worldwide, to commission a series of global studies on effective practices in boys' education. Drawing on research with thousands of adolescent boys and their teachers across multiple countries, Reichert developed a framework for engaging boys in learning, validated by educators and students.

Reichert has published numerous articles and several books, including "Reaching Boys, Teaching Boys: Lessons About What Works—and Why," "I Can Learn From You: Boys as Relational Learners," and "How to Raise a Boy: The Power of Connection to Build Good Men." "I Can Learn From You" examines how boys extend and receive empathy, based on interviews with students and teachers in schools across six countries. In "How to Raise a Boy," Reichert challenges traditional conventions about masculinity, exploring how expectations for boys to be stoic can lead to emotional challenges and behavioral issues.

Reichert's research addresses developmental resources and supports schools and organizations in overcoming myths and biases that affect children's opportunities. He has served on staff at The Haverford School, consulted for the Global Boyhood Initiative launched by Promundo, and is a board member of the Partnership for Male Youth. Reichert maintains a clinical practice outside Philadelphia, specializing in work with boys, men, and their families, and has served as supervising psychologist at an independent boys' school, where he developed a program to enhance boys' emotional literacy. He has presented at conferences, schools, and events worldwide, sharing research-based insights with parents, educators, and policymakers interested in boys' education and development.

Michael C. Reichert Speaking Topics

  • A Relational Approach to Engaging Boys in Learning

    The new field of interpersonal neuroscience confirms that all children, including boys, are “wired to connect.” Global studies of thousands of boys and their teachers found not only that boys were “relational learners,” but that even the most hardened resistance could be transformed by an effective relational approach. Indeed, to engage a boy in a learning partnership, the teacher or coach must first connect with him.

    Based on three global studies conducted with over 2,500 adolescent boys and 2,000 of their teachers, from over 50 schools in six countries, Dr. Reichert offers a framework for engaging boys in learning that has been validated by educators and by boys themselves. The talk can also be adapted to a workshop format, allowing teachers and youth workers to share their own experiences.

    Based also on ongoing work with schools interested in becoming “relational schools,” the workshop features these components:

    • An overall presentation of insights from his research identifying effective teaching practices with boys
    • A more focused presentation on the effective and ineffective relational strategies identified in this research
    • An introduction to a collaborative and reflective exercise that can help teachers/coaches “reset” when they have become stuck in a relationship with a student.

  • Boyhood for the 21st Century

    Male models of abuse, casualty, and loss have dominated popular media. But the truth behind these headlines is surprising and deeply reassuring. It is not boys themselves but an outdated model of boyhood that is the problem. Those in charge of boyhood – parents, educators, coaches – need to challenge masculine stereotypes and myths and create a new paradigm for raising a boy who is resilient, emotionally astute, and morally grounded.

    In a talk based upon his new book, "How to Raise a Boy," Dr. Reichert reviews what we know and what we are missing when it comes to raising our sons. Building on his research and clinical experience, as well as from other research in boyhood studies and interpersonal neuroscience, his perspective affirms the goodness of boys and offers a roadmap for all those who care for them.

    Participants will:

    • Understand the historic model of boyhood and its developmental costs.
    • Review key aspects of boys’ lives – their emotional development, the role of friendship and intimacy, their health and wellness, violence, digital citizenship – to grasp some of the threats to their development and the protective role parents and others can play.
    • Appreciate how a relational approach to parenting and mentoring boys can nurture their virtue and strengthen their resilience.
    • Consider three strategies for strengthening the parent/son bond, including a model for discipline.
