What is The Path from EI to AI™?
The PATH from EI to AI™ is a developmental framework that guides
how we prepare children, teens, and adults for a future shaped by AI.
It connects the dots of human development from the emotional roots built in early childhood, to the executive functioning and self-leadership practiced in adolescence, to the ethical and strategic use of powerful tools such as AI in high school and beyond.
At its heart, the PATH is about building the internal capacity to navigate complexity - with discernment, adaptability, and purpose.
Because here’s the truth:
-
Emotional intelligence is foundational, not optional.
-
Executive function builds agency, not just structure.
-
And AI fluency only matters when it’s grounded in trust, reflection, and the ability to use it well.
That’s why the PATH isn’t just a metaphor. It’s a mindset we can teach by helping learners:
-
Pause to reflect
-
Align with their values
-
Trust their thinking
-
Hone their skills through intentional practice
This is how we raise humans who aren’t just tech-savvy, but ready to lead in an AI-powered world.
WHY IT'S NEEDED
Most schools still reward the end product: scores, outputs, and compliance. But the real world demands something deeper: people who can think critically, adapt quickly, and lead with integrity. Employers don't want information holders. They want creative problem-solvers. And that’s the gap the PATH helps close.
WHERE IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
At The Drizzle Effect, we start with DROPLETS™ (ages 4–10) and DROPLETS Bridge™ (ages 11–15). We help children build emotional intelligence and executive function through storytelling, reflection, and real-world connection.
At MaryOstrowski.com, we meet teens, parents, and educators as they apply those foundational skills - building executive function, digital fluency, and ethical AI literacy for real-world success.
Learn together. Adapt together. Lead together.
