I have had no luck in making any connections with my contacts. Therefore I took a closer look at the website on Global Children’s Initiative. On this site I found an article titled Reducing Developmental Barriers in Learning. According to the article, the Early Childhood Innovation Partnership (ECIP) is a collaboration among four organizations that work together to help reduce barriers in learning.
Even though investments in training and curriculum are important, we are still seeing gaps in learning. Neuroscience research has now proven the emotional, social and behavioral issues are a leading cause to gaps. With this information, ECIP will focus on developing a group that will create new strategies that will help relieve the gaps in learning.
One way of doing this is by the formation of a group known as the Frontiers of Innovation. With this group one of their goals will be to develop a community that will then develop, implement and test interventional models.
With the help of analysts, policymakers, scientists and entrepreneurs from public and private sectors, the ECIP is planning on building upon strategies and techniques that will help the future of our children.

ReplyDeleteI have not had any luck with my international contacts either. I hope one of us hears something soon. I did appreciate the information you shared about the Frontiers of Innovation. I will need to go back and explore that initiative further.
Thank you!

I have had no contact with my international contacts, so I also explored the website. Like Katherine, I found the information about the Frontiers of Innovation to be interesting. I am sure this group will find new and inventive ways in which we can assist children. I also need to go back and look at this part of the website. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAlisa, I enjoyed reading your insight on the information about the frontiers of Innovation. I did receive some input from Australia as an updated newsletter form their educational program. I will review the information on reducing the barrier of learning.Did they actually provide any ideas we could use to reduce the barrier here in the US?
