What If Everybody Understood Child Development?
Early childhood is a unique and special period in the lifespan. Or, as Rae likes to say, young children are “a whole different animal.” But, often, those responsible for making decisions for children’s lives and education – parents, teachers, administrators, and policymakers – are unaware of, or have forgotten, this simple fact. Based on her book of the same name, this presentation serves as a reminder, offering research on how children learn best and revealing why “earlier is better” is a myth. Rae invites you to join her as she imagines education in a world where everybody understood child development!
