    Common Ground Speaker Series: Love To Learn - Early Education in an AI-Driven World

    Silicon Valley International School is a proud member of the Common Ground Speaker Series, that offers informational webinars and talks for parents, faculty, and staff. Registration is free for member schools.

    Love to Learn: Early Education in an AI-Driven World
    with Isabelle Hau
    In Person Seminar - Girls Middle School, 3400 W Bayshore Ave, Palo Alto

    Isabelle Hau believes that all learning is relational.  At a time when the crisis of connection is a nation-wide phenomenon, her work reminds us that our brains are wired for connection and how we love and care for our littlest learners has an impact on their curiosity and growth.  

    Her recent book, Love to Learn, argues that strong, loving relationships are the foundation for healthy brain development, resilience, and lifelong learning.  As technical tasks become more driven by AI, relational intelligence (RQ) will become ever more crucial for our children in both social and academic settings. Ms. Hau will share her blueprint for relational learning in the early years and beyond. 

    PRE-ORDER YOUR BOOK TODAY! We’re partnering with Linden Tree Books to offer attendees the option to pre-order "Love to Learn: The Transformative Power of Care and Connection in Early Education" ahead of the event. We encourage you to support this wonderful local independent bookseller - they’ll have your copy ready and waiting that evening. Additionally, all pre-orders will receive priority access to a signed copy from the author at the event.
