Isabelle- this is fabulous! I particularly appreciate your focus on the positive and how you have created the different sections. This is a treasure, and I find many things that I have missed. So inspiring! Thank you. Lindsay Chase-Lansdale, Northwesten University
Thank you, Lindsay. Embracing lifelong learning, especially from people like you (was just re-reading your framework two-generation programs in the 21st century).
and my feedback......thanks so much for sharing your journey in this format....from what excites, to what you are reading, following and discovering.....the breadth of your reading, thinking and consumption inspires me....keep it coming.....!
Isabelle - you have such a natural way of channeling your passion for early childhood education in these posts. They are informative, uplifting (at times), and inspiring! I recommend it to anyone who asks!
This really resonated, the TEDTalk by DeLonn Crosby. First, learning that less than 5% of all investment goes to early childhood education and development, yet, 90% of the child's brain is developed by age 5, should shock everyone. Into doing something to change this investment equation.
Second, when he said about his son, "it went from being personal to paternal", that made me tear-up.
I plan to listen to your discussion "Cradle to Kindergarten: A New Plan to Combat Inequality" this weekend.
"Small Talks", what a special idea, from a special person!
