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

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

🌟What if early educators were paid like K-12 teachers? New evidence from Washington, DC shows what would happen: more stability in the child care workforce, higher-quality caregiving, and greater mental health and financial well-being for early educators.🌟

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

"STEAM learning will be all around them as they pursue their education. Children who have experience of STEAM learning early have been shown to better transition into school life." - Laura Cross, Little STEAMers. Read more 👉 bit.ly/3OhuFYn

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

🌟 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. 🌟

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.

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

Big news! We @urbaninstitute.bsky.social are thrilled to partner with the Bainum Family Foundation's WeVision EarlyEd initiative to help make the ideal real in early childhood by building evidence with families and early childhood professionals.
