Perhaps you saw a recent piece in Science, "Unsettled science on longer-run effects of early childhood." I think we actually know a lot more than the piece suggests, and I joined w/ several early childhood researchers to respond. Our thoughts here: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

This Mother's Day, I'm committed to pushing for policies to support moms in WA state and across the country—like access to affordable child care, paid leave, closing the wage gap, and so much more. We should do more than just celebrate, we need to take action.

Two great opportunities for BA/MA level folks to come do meaningful work with us at @YouthPolicyLab -- one is a data analyst role, and one is a fellowship focused on post-secondary ed/labor market outcomes in Michigan!

Too many preschool programs use curricula that under-deliver for kids and teachers.
We can do better. New National Academies report lays out a vision for turning the page & shifting to evidence-based, content-rich, culturally responsive curricula:

The latest debate on preK ignores the impact of high-quality curricula & aligned professional development, writes @Meghan_McCorm for @newamerica.
The best bet is to implement evidence-based curricula that explicitly target specific learning domains. newamerica.org/education-pol…
