sad news

[Deb Kelemen]

I am sorry to announce some very sad news.

Ann Brown, Evelyn Lois Corey Professor of Education
of the University of California, Berkeley
passed away on Friday, 4th June after a brief illness.

Much of Ann's most recent work had focussed on designing
innovative learning environments, developing the concept of the classroom
as a community of learners and refining her groundbreaking research
with Annemarie Palinscar on reciprocal teaching.
However, to the cognitive developmental community,
Ann may be better known for her work in conceptual development
She published broadly on causal and analogical reasoning in young children
and the development of metacognition and learning transfer.
She will be sadly missed.

For those wishing to pay their respects
or send flowers, a service is being
held for Ann at 11:30 Thursday June 10th,
St James Catholic Church,
1086 Guerrero, San Francisco.

many thanks
