“From the son of two immigrants growing up in poverty, I’m a Sterling Professor at Yale and fairly well known,” he said. “That help I got as a child in those important years was critical. And the new brain research tells us that what you experience in those early years is the foundation for brain development in later years. I valued very early supporting poor children because that was like my life. When you’ve been discriminated against yourself you hate discrimination against others. It’s that simple.”
“The story of Head Start is one of impact“,” he said. “Twenty-five million poor children and their families have now been through this program. I am the only member of the planning committee that stayed with Head Start through its entire 45-year life. But perhaps the bigger impact over the long haul was the change in our thinking about preschool education.”

Hi Sauda,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing so many quotes! I really liked the one about adults who are engaged in learning being the key to helping children learn. I wholeheartedly agree that we must lead by example. Children are more likely to do what they see than what they are told. The more we can continue to learn as educators, the more we have to give back to our community and our children.
