Initiative 8:
Outreach

Initiative Coordinators: Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Susan Levine

We want to ensure that what we know about spatial learning reaches a wider public audience, as one of the issues in the field is that such learning does not have a profile as high as that of language learning, reading, and mathematics . Our outreach program is thus designed to contact parents, teachers and policy makers with the message that spatial learning should be counted among the many basic concepts that build early learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. We also aim to communicate concrete ideas about how to achieve effective spatial learning, e.g., how best to teach measurement skills in elementary school.
