Editor's Note
A Welcome Resource
ܲAVƵand its members have been fortunate during the past few years to receive the welcome attention and wisdom of one of the nation’s more accomplished childhood development authorities, Ellen Galinsky.
As president of the Families and Work Institute, she participates in our association’s Early Learning and Redefining Ready cohorts, served as keynoter at last fall’s well-received Real Skills for Real Life summit and participated in the Public Education Promise work group. She’s a producer of a forthcoming accredited course on AASA’s Real Skills for Real Life. Galinsky has written hundreds of research reports and journal articles and, as of this month, she is now a contributor to this magazine.
The author of Mind in the Making, labelled “an iconic parenting manual” by The New York Times, Galinsky was brought into the ܲAVƵfold after connecting with the Early Learning Cohort in 2019. In short order, she became a thought leader for the cohort, and she says she’s been enthused ever since about working with the association and its members, especially in integrating executive functioning knowledge and practice in schooling.
Read her cover story, “The Breakthrough Years for Executive Functioning."
