Three insights i learned from the Harvard University’s “Global Children’s Initiative” website: (http://developingchild.harvard.edu/initiatives/global_initiative/.
1.One of their initatives is to prepare future and current leaders to build and leverage knowledge that promotes the healthy development of children and families and brings high returns to all of society.
2. The Harvard Universtiy Global childrens initiative plans to improve the life outcomes of all children in the united states as well as in other countires.
3. One insight that i learned which is so true about the growth and development of our children is that the Harvard Global children's initiative fouses on, "the healthy child development as the foundation of economic prosperity, strong communities, and a just society, and our mission is to advance that vision by using science to enhance child well-being through innovations in policy and practice"( Harvard University, 2012). As educators we must look at our children as our future leaders and it is a must that these children be brought up with a healthy development and a good foundation, we have to truly try our best because this is our future.
Listening to Barbara Jones from the podcast i learned that she founded the Pine Grove School, which is a montessori school which was issued in the exchange magazine. As she was telling her story i find it intriguing how all educators find there way to the education field, as she learned about her passion by helping other children and learning how she can improve others lives.
