Episode #1: Real Talk About Baby Talk with Dr. Richard Aslin

In this episode, we speak to Dr. Richard Aslin, a Senior Research Scientist at Haskins Laboratories. He discusses the incredible abilities of the infant brain for language and early learning and shares ways that brain imaging has broadened our understanding of the brain. He cites examples of how infants learn language, which influences later learning. Dr. Aslin finally provides implications for closer integration between research and practice in order to optimize the learning environment for all students.  

Episode #2: Leading with Values with Jamie Williamson

In this episode, Jamie Williamson, Head of School at The Windward School, shares his experiences as an educator and leader. He calls for creating educational environments that centralize in advocating for the overall development of the child and that remain laser focused in providing instruction using empirically validated research and data. As a leader, Mr. Williamson discusses the importance of values and creating a school community where all students, families, teachers, and leaders can thrive.

Episode #3: In-School Neuro-Superheroes: The Promise of In-School Neuroscience with Nicole Landi, PhD

 

In this episode, Nicole Landi, PhD, a cognitive neuroscientist at Haskins Laboratories and a professor at University of Connecticut, speaks about the promise of in-school neuroscience, which expands upon the opportunities for exchange of learning between researchers, educators, and students.
