Kingsley Speaker Series with Ellen Galinsky

MIND IN THE MAKING

How do you keep the fire for learning burning in children’s eyes? All of us are born with a passion to learn but life experiences stifle that passion for far too many children. Ellen Galinsky, early childhood expert, president of Families and Work Institute and former president of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, has moved beyond the achievement and opportunity gap to identify a gap in children’s engagement in learning. Join Ellen to learn how to rekindle children’s love of learning, understanding the very best research in child development, neuroscience, and the key skills of focus and self-control; critical thinking; communicating; making connections; and taking perspective.

Ellen Galinsky is the President and Co-Founder of Families and Work Institute, a Manhattan-based nonprofit organization conducting research on changing family, workplace, and community dynamics. Galinsky helped establish the field of work and family life at Bank Street College of Education, where she served on the faculty for a quarter century. Her more than 40 books and reports include Ask the Children, the now-classic The Six Stages of Parenthood, and Mind in the Making. She has published more than 100 articles in academic journals, books, and magazines.
