Happy Soul Food Friday!
This week:
New Frontiers in Education:
In my travels in education I am honored to cross paths with so many interesting people advancing the art and science of education.
Recently, I was introduced to the Center for Human Development at UCSD where they are doing some breakthrough work “chasing the signal” of how to foster the right environment and motivational constructs for self-directed life-long learning. To that end on one project The UC San Diego Center for Human Development is working with local music instructors and martial arts communities to address an important question: How does involvement in the arts affect the development of children? Dr. Terry Jernigan and her colleagues are recruiting children under the age of 10 to assess their academic, social-emotional, and neurological development to help determine whether, and how, children may benefit from participation in music and martial arts. The goal of the project is to acquire more empirical evidence about the effects of arts involvement during childhood, so that policy makers can make better informed decisions about support for initiatives that provide more children with opportunities to participate in these activities. The project is ongoing and The Center for Human Development (http://chd.ucsd.edu) is still recruiting families, so contact CHDStudies@ucsd.edu to learn more about participation and their interesting work.
