New evidence confirms what we know well: starting early is best for students, families, and education systems.

Great new essay from @anikaalam.bsky.social and our DC PreK study team published by the Learning Curve @urbaninstitute.bsky.social.

Our 5-year study of universal preschool in Washington, DC shows that "public pre-K for 3-year-olds appears to stabilize children’s early educational experiences, especially those starting furthest from opportunity, and provide a strong foundation for later learning." #edusky #edpolisky #eduskyecec

As educators, really knowing/understanding/connecting with our students and families is key. @karennemethlc.bsky.social reminds us: "A child’s interests reveal their prior knowledge, vocabulary, and experiences that create a foundation for building new learning with confidence." #EduSkyECEC

Haha, love this quote! “Learning can only happen when a child is interested. If he's not interested, it's like throwing marshmallows at his head and calling it eating.” - Katrina Gutleben #EduSkyECEC

D.C.'s pay equity fund helps increase wages for child care workers So far, it has helped stabilize and grow the supply of child care workers, helping working families as well as child care workers themselves.

New @npr.org reporting features DC’s Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund and the evidence we are building on its many benefits—and lingering challenges. #edusky #edpolisky #eduskyecec

With so much that can - and arguably 'should' - be done in education (implementing new ideas, following best practices and theory, or going ‘back to basics’), how do teachers and school leaders decide? Time is limited.. resources are limited.. what guides your priorities? #EduSkyECEC #ECEC #EduSky

Curious what Pre-K and K teacher to student ratios are worldwide. Taiwan is transitioning from 1:15 to 1:12 for 3-6 year old classrooms. 2 year old classrooms are still at 1:8. #EduSkyECEC #ECEC #EduSky #EduPrimary #earlychildhood #preschool #kindergarten
