Casey Family Programs' Early Learning Symposium: Featuring a Presentation by Jack P. Shonkoff, M.D.

In our EDUC 6005 class, my colleagues and I recently viewed a resource where one of the presenters, Renatta Marie Cooper, M.A. talked about how she uses resources to enhance her understanding of early childhood studies and fortify her performance as an early childhood professional.  Renatta points out that as we read resources of interest, we should always take a look at the reference list at the end of the paper, and look up some of those references and the people who generated them.   I am currently working on the APP6 class assignment and  am focusing on works done by Dr.  Jack Shonkoff.  After reading the two articles (Shonkoff, J. P., 2006) and (National Scientific Council on the Developing Child, 2004) I thought to myself...  Who exactly is Jack P. Shonkoff M.D.?  Because I like seeing a picture of the researchers I learn about, I decided to look Dr. Shonkoff up on the internet.  After only 3 minutes or so of browsing, I was rewarded by finding a wonderful presentation given by Dr. Shonkoff at the Early Learning Symposium, hosted by Casey Family Programs in Seattle, Washington.  I am thrilled to share with my colleagues this awesome source of information provided by Dr.  Jack P. Shonkoff.
