Next Wednesday June 1, at 6:30 pm at McKinley Tech HS (151 T St. NE), Dan Willingham, a cognitive scientist at the University of Virginia, will speak about the importance of a rich curriculum from the youngest ages.

Willingham writes the “Ask the Cognitive Scientist” column for American Educator magazine and will discuss how deep and rich study of science, history, and the arts helps students become strong readers who can think critically and solve problems.
