That means taking advantage of the early years when young children’s brains are undergoing explosive growth and forming the architecture necessary to realize their full potential. How do we help families, educators, caregivers, and communities interpret and apply new understandings of brain maturation and cognitive development? How can an interdisciplinary approach create personalized early childhood learning solutions? How can meaningful policy change, especially for our most under-resourced children, be advanced? Why is now a ripe moment for bold action? Join us for an evening of inspiration and conversation with education visionaries who think deeply about these important questions.GEOFFREY CANADA founded the Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ) Project in 1997 with the mission to end intergenerational poverty in Central Harlem and lead the way for other long-distressed communities to do the same. From early childhood, education, and career programs to community outreach and wellness initiatives, HCZ’s on-the-ground, wrap-around programming opens pathways to mobility and prosperity. The work of Canada and HCZ has been featured on leading news programs and in the documentary Waiting for “Superman.” For his work advocating for low-income children and families of color, he received the first Heinz Award, the Harold W. McGraw Jr. Prize in Education, and The Jefferson Award for Public Service. Drawing on his childhood experiences growing up in the South Bronx, Canada wrote Fist Stick Knife Gun: A Personal History of Violence. Canada holds a BA from Bowdoin College and an MA from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.Canada will be signing books at the reception from 5:00 - 5:40 p.m.<h3>Keynote followed by a conversation moderated by </h3>TED LEMPERT is president of Children Now, a research and policy organization focused on transforming children’s advocacy.
