I still have not heard from my international contact. I chose to look at Applying the science of early childhood in Brazil because I think it is cool to see other countries take on early childhood. I was excited to see that the Center is making history because it is launching Núcleo Ciência Pela Infância, which will be the first major programmatic effort outside the United States. I also noticed that they collaborate with a lot of people which in my option is always great because two heads are better than one. I believe that they are headed in the right direction, I like how they plan to strengthen leadership around early childhood development through an executive leadership course for policymakers. I believe we should all do this for policymakers in our area that would like to get involved in the early childhood field.

Temeka,
ReplyDeleteI loved the video presentation link to "Brain Hero" It took me a minute to find the English translation and it seems relevant to the major issue on preparing children for better futures. I think this presentation provides a quick awareness as well as a starting point to where and when to begin influencing children in the right direction the most. Thanks for sharing!
Temeka,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the idea of encouraging policy makers, who want to take a role in EC, to take a leadership course. I think this is a very effective way for policy makers to become aware and supportive in the field. I am really happy that Brazil is taking the right approach to Early Childhood. Thanks.

Temeka,
ReplyDeleteI also have not gotten back a response from my international contacts. I think its wonderful that Brazil is taking such an active part in the early childhood field,especially in applied science.
