As part of our efforts to provide relevant and timely information on a range of issues covering public policy, curriculum, teacher effectiveness, funding, etc.; we are launching a new series – Perspective – Thoughts from the Field. This series will feature Q&As with leaders, both throughout New York state and nationally, and will provide insight on their work and thoughts on ways to progress the field of early childhood education. We’re kicking off our first Q&A with a discussion about the role of philanthropy in early education. Heather Filipowicz, Executive Director of The WNY Women’s Foundation, provides a view into her work with women and girls in the Buffalo community. Be sure to check it out!
