Book Event on June 22: Mind in the Making

Join the Early Education Initiative on June 22 at 5:30 p.m. for a lively and celebratory event to highlight the latest research on child development and the science of learning. Ellen Galinsky, president of the Families and Work Institute in New York City, will talk about her latest book, Mind in the Making: The Seven Essential Life Skills Every Child Needs and show video clips from recent experiments conducted with young children. As Today show contributor Michele Borba said: “[Ellen Galinsky’s] latest book… just put her in the ‘Child Development Expert Hall of Fame.’ ”

We’re hosting this event with the Workforce and Family Program to consider the implications of these findings for family, workforce and education policies. Go here for more information and to RSVP. We hope to see you there!
