Early Childhood Education
Child care pay still lags despite decades of policy change
We are all wrong sometimes. This is a reality of being human, and how we respond to that reality can define how we engage with ideas and other people. Emerging research on intellectual humility shows that fostering a desire to seek out information and viewpoints that challenge one’s views is important for children’s development. Yet, developing intellectual humility is hard, especially in one’s teenage years. Schools can help with this development, but they need guidance and tools to support this work.Â
On August 31, the Brown Center on Education Policy at Brookings will host a webinar to discuss the opportunities and challenges in developing intellectual humility in middle and high school students. Panelists will highlight what intellectual humility means for America’s well-being, along with research that examines how schools can help students to develop this virtue. Â
