Excited to learn more about the opportunities to use AI as a force for good in early education at the HeadStarter Network Catalyst event today. Let's see where we're at! #InnovateEarly

Group project for the day: how do we use AI to increase the recognized social value of #EarlyEd educators? What ethical boundaries need to be observed in the design of those supports? (No answers yet. Just questions so far....) #InnovateEarly

This morning, we stimulated our curiosity, exploring everything you've always wanted to know about #ArtificialIntelligence and didn't dare ask with Dave and Helen Edwards, the founders of Koru Ventures. #InnovateEarly

#EarlyEd #ArtificialIntelligence Question following today's event: how can algorithms designed by adults really know how to appropriately learn *from* babies and toddlers, who are at such a different place in their neurological development? #InnovateEarly

Oh no :-( I knew Merwin's work first and foremost through his translations, but his poetry was always full of power and heart. Rest easy.

Heading home from the HeadStarter Network Catalyst event in Chicago, reflecting on the great conversations yesterday about #ArtificialIntelligence, #EarlyEd , ethics, possibilities and much else. Grateful to be a part of this community and energized for the work ahead.

Let’s be clear: “day care” doesn’t exist. ALL environments are early learning environments for young kids. The question is whether they’re any good. amp.kansascity.com/news/politics-…

Suspending children from #preschool for lacking social-emotional competence is like suspending them from foreign language instruction for not being fluent. It is literally the opposite of instruction. minnpost.com/education/2019… #earlyed #earlychildhood

One more area where operational / administrative challenges and common sense smash headlong into each other. Adults, we can do better. Perspective | Lunch at 9 a.m.? That’s when a lot of schools start serving it to kids. washingtonpost.com/education/2019…

Excited to share research with you that I have been working on since grad school 😳 Question: what happened to the sons of slaveholders who lost wealth (sometimes tremendous fortunes) after the Civil War? Did sons rebound & join elite, or did wealth loss transmit to next gen?

Whaddayaknow, #HeadStart is in the news again! Kudos to Lutheran Services FL for showing how Head Start can help children and families thrive. msn.com/en-us/news/us/…

Today's poem from The Slowdown is the perfect thing to read on the way to an AM flight at LGA and reminds me why thei newsletter is the best.
