There are over 70,000 pre-K teachers working in public schools but they often fall through the crack between ECE and K-12 policy.
Check out my piece with Elizabeth Steiner and @jscannon.bsky.social on including their voices in pre-K policy discussions www.the74million.org/article/publ...
Public School Pre-K Teachers Are Professionals, But Aren’t Treated That Way
From pay to professional development to coordination with colleagues in higher grades, schools have a long way to go, study finds.

I'm happy to be part of this RAND team gathering important perspectives from pre-K teachers. More data to come from this new teacher survey panel!

We asked 1,368 public school-based pre-K teachers across the country about the materials they use, their instructional resources and planning time, and how their programs align with elementary grades. Read more in my new co-authored report: www.rand.org/t/rra3279-3
Pre-K students walking on a path/bridge up and right to represent their path to kindergarten. Path transitions into dotted line to signify a disconnect

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

Read ALA's full response: www.ala.org/news/2025/03...
ALA response to White House assault on IMLS To dismiss the mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities.  As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year.

Harvard has the biggest endowment, so why are they stopping hiring? It helps to understand that endowments provide less of a cushion than you probably imagine.
And if Harvard is worried, lots of other universities are doing to be in worse shape.

🌟 Did you know that most federal education data are archived in the @urbaninstitute.bsky.social Education Data Explorer? It's a great resource for research and analysis - and there's even a full API version linked in thread. 🌟

I wish people on the left would stop using “diversity hire” or “affirmative action” to describe folks like Hegseth. This reinforces the racist, sexist notion that diversity and affirmative action are promoting unqualified people, doing the right’s work for the.

New research from the US Department of Labor finds a "national paid family and medical leave program would reduce poverty across all communities and diminish the poverty gap among workers." 13 states and DC currently have paid leave:

Hi! I’m new around here and wanted to say hello.

My name is Dan Wuori and I have dedicated my social media channels to helping explore the wonderment of early childhood development.

The NY Times wrote about this project back in March. I’d love to connect! www.nytimes.com/2024/03/31/u...
