  • Research Strongly Supports Investment in Early Childhood Education

    Research Strongly Supports Investment in Early Childhood Education

    EMBARGOED UNTIL 12:01 a.m. ET Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2014 Research strongly supports investment in early childhood education. As policymakers debate investing in quality early childhood education programs, they should note the widespread agreement among researchers about the value of such programs. An extensive body of research in education, developmental psychology, neuroscience, medicine and economics shows that quality early childhood education programs produce better education, health, economic and social outcomes for children, families, and the nation. As researchers, we urge policymakers to make decisions based on the full body of scientific knowledge about early education and child development. We provide this research summary to support and guide future investment in quality early childhood education programs. Quality early childhood education can reduce the achievement gap. Too many American children start school inadequately prepared to succeed. Gaps in cognitive, linguistic, social, and emotional skills due to unequal opportunities become evident well before children enter kindergarten. The resulting achievement gap widens as children progress through school, despite strong efforts at remediation. The long-term consequences include high rates of school failure, grade repetition, inappropriate special education placements, and dropout; involvement in risky behaviors and crime; and, even higher risk for adult chronic disease including hypertension, heart disease, obesity and diabetes. These problems are not limited to the poor: many children who fail a grade and drop out are from middle-income families. The costs of remediation, social dependency, poor health, and lost productivity are very high to individuals and our nation. Access to quality early childhood education is essential. The early learning programs and child care that many parents can afford are not of good enough quality to appreciably affect early disparities in development.

Until 1971, the organization published annual membership rosters, which were kept at Yale's library. In this list of notable Bonesmen, the number in parentheses represents the cohort year of Skull and Bones, as well as their graduation year. There are no official rosters published after 1982 and membership for later years is speculative.

Temple Chair, Mastin Gentry White Professor, and chair; US labor/African American/southern/women) Candidate Statement I study African American labor history with a focus on women and the American South. From 2014 to 2020 I served as chair of a large history department at a flagship public university, and faced challenges that affect many historians’ research, teaching, and working conditions—the corporatization of the university; problematic relations with the state legislature; the technological transformation of the classroom; a difficult job market for our students; and contentious debates over curriculum reform, faculty evaluation, and metrics of assessment. Our department has made strenuous efforts to halt the drop in the number of our majors, to increase the diversity of our faculty, to track the careers of our alums, and to counter the national trend of the proliferation of adjuncts and part-time instructors. Today the historical profession must contend with a general public skepticism about the humanities in general—the notion that a field of study is valuable only to the extent that it leads to a particular kind of job. Still, nursing students should learn about the history of medicine, and forestry students about the history of the environment (for example).
