Getting to Know Your International Contacts—Part 2
I have continued reading the podcasts from the world forum. I have studied the issues on poverty and programs to address poverty around the world. This week, I also visited the Global Children’s Initiative website. The site stated that “one essential, cross-cutting aspect of the Center’s approach is its commitment to work collaboratively across disciplines and institutions, drawing together the best and most creative expertise available to achieve the Initiative’s goals” (Global Children’s initiative, 2013). The site further provided information about children’s health, early childhood development, and crises that affect children. The site further provides information about was to improve children’s health and conditions in education. Overall, this information can be used in the United States to improve the quality of education for all children.

You are absolutely right in saying that we need to use available information to improve the quality of education for our children right here in the US. Bringing stakeholders together; researchers, practitioners, policy makers to create a shared understanding about the importance of the early learning years is a great first step. The Center for the Developing Child at Harvard is making it happen!
