As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

I put my kids in a Montessori program, so I'm not at all surprised by this. But still: reading to them at home, interacting with them as intelligent, self-directing human beings, and showing them the joys of things like cooking or gardening, are more significant.

A nationwide randomized controlled trial finds that children who went to public Montessori preschools showed stronger reading, memory, and cognitive skills by kindergarten's end—at a lower total cost—than children in standard programs. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/b2hV50XhFPT

This is so interesting. Causal evidence that attending Montessori schools before and during kindergarten increases children’s reading ability, short-term memory, executive function, and theory of mind.

‼️ New RCT shows positive effects of public Montessori on kindergarten outcomes. Kids were randomized via lottery at age 3. A fairly racially- and economically-diverse sample because these were public programs.

Another instant classic by @AngelLillard!!!! Check out her new results on Montessori education as cheaper and with better results than traditional preK and K classes. Hmm -- there really is something to this #playfullearning model. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
