Getting to Know Your International Contacts

I have not heard back from any of my professional contacts so I am doing the alternative assignment. As I looked through the webwsite the innovation part of the website stood out to me. Their mission is to enhance the well being of children through science and to translate the sciences into new strategies for action. The center has three content areas as priority. The first area is reducing developmental barries to learning. The second is strengthening the early foundations of lifelong health. The last is enahancing the resources and capacities of the family environment.

There are three core elements of innovation. The first one is seeds which relates to the economic and relationships with young children. The second one is soil which talks about communities and their purpose. The last one is climate and it deals with understanding behavior and emotions. Each of the elements are needed to work together for the benefits of the children. They want to introduce new ideas into the arena of intervention.

The site has a partnership ECIP where they work together to enhance young children and their families. The video links also give you more insight on innovation.
