Mind in the Making

Based on the book Mind in the Making by Ellen Galinsky, this advanced cohort focus on the seven essential life skills that every child needs to thrive. Each learning module
leads with science, combining deep research focused on executive function skills, with signature science-fueled learning. The training provides opportunities for adults to examine themselves, the research and the actions they can take to promote effective learning in themselves and in children.


Our certified facilitators will lead participants through eight MITM learning modules that examine child development principles identified in Ellen Galinsky’s groundbreaking research. Designed to help bridge the gap between knowledge and practice, the MITM training supports participants in creating practical action plans to promote brain development and strengthen adult-child relationships.
