Hi everyone!
I recently visited Diane Grannum site and was deeply inspired by her journey—from working as an English teacher, grant writer, and instructional leader in NYC schools to becoming Regional Director for Universal Pre?K. Her memoir, Creating the Universe, not only tells the story of launching UPK but also offers practical insights for educators, parents, and policymakers. With over 30 years helping young learners, Diane uses storytelling to connect communities, shape hearts, and spark meaningful change. I’d love to hear your thoughts: have you had experience with UPK in your area, and can you relate to the successes or challenges Diane describes? How important is it to have leaders like her advocating for early childhood? And as readers—did her mix of memoir and guidance resonate with you? Let’s celebrate her impact and discuss how storytelling and leadership can transform education!
