What is The Path from EI to AI™?

The PATH from EI to AI™ isn’t a curriculum — it’s the thread that ties all of my work together.

It’s a guiding philosophy that connects early social emotional development at The Drizzle Effect with the executive function coaching and AI readiness work I do with teens, parents, and educators.

At its core, the PATH is about growth — emotional, cognitive, and practical. It helps learners of all ages build the internal skills needed to thrive in a world shaped by rapid change and smart technology.

Because here’s the truth:

Emotional intelligence is foundational, not optional.
Executive function gives students agency, not just structure.
And AI fluency only matters when it’s grounded in discernment and the capability to use it well.

That’s the PATH — a way of learning, teaching, and leading with purpose and adaptability in a world that’s moving fast.

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 aren’t looking for information holders. They’re looking for problem-solvers. And that’s the gap the PATH helps close.

Where It All Comes Together

At The Drizzle Effect, we start by helping young children build foundational social-emotional skills through storytelling, play, and reflection.

At MaryOstrowski.com, we meet families, young adults, and educators as they move from foundation to application, building executive function, digital fluency, and applied AI literacy.

Learn together.
Adapt together.
Lead together.
