Molly Schlesinger, Ph.D., is a statistician at The School District of Philadelphia. Previously she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Psychology at Temple University in partnership with Kathy Hirsh-Pasek. During this time, she focused on two primary lines of playful learning research: creativity, play and learning during early childhood and community-based projects leveraging the Playful Learning Landscapes framework in Philadelphia, nationally, and internationally. Molly’s doctoral research explored the interaction of media, technology, and cultural environments on child development, and psychology more broadly, particularly for underserved populations; and has a background working with cultural institutions that strive to provide high quality childhood experiences.
