Beyond the Brain Science: Early Childhood Luminary Jack Shonkoff Calls For “ECD 2.0”
By Elliot Haspel
“When Jack Shonkoff speaks, the early childhood field listens. Shonkoff, a pediatrician who leads Harvard’s Center on the Developing Child, is one of the researchers who brought about the brain science revolution in understanding child development. Among other accolades, he chaired the committee that wrote 2000’s groundbreaking report, Neurons to Neighborhoods: The Science of Early Childhood Development. So when Shonkoff recently released a call to action to advance the way early childhood stakeholders engage with the world, it is cause for deep consideration and reflection.”
