Parents are busy. Almost all parents own cell phones. Sending messages can change behavior. Texting parents improves parenting habits #behavioraleconomics #earlyed #ece https://t.co/QuqGPWtjfa

Housing study buzz: Giving families information + housing vouchers improves uptake of program from 14-54%. Is it replicable? What will effects on families and children be? Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.. https://t.co/NvhFMtf2yo @OppInsights #housing #poverty

How has well-intended education research throughout the 21st century shaped the system (and its flaws) today? Interesting reflecting by @DLabaree on the "Do No Harm" principle. What #biases affect researchers when doing their own work? https://t.co/8pEoUHSQz0 #BehavioralEconomics

Question for #ECE #Twitter community: How do you refer to the classroom-based #ECE staff? #Teachers? #Workers? Others? Interchangeable? What are the implications of each? Pros and cons of each? @CSCCEUCB @ZEROTOTHREE @theOunce @WolfsSharon @KimBoller1 @NatlHeadStart @HighScopeUS

The dark truth about #early child care and #education: "Funded" thru #poverty wages for #workers. New values-based #budget for #ECE. How does economic condition shape #classroom behavior? @EconomicPolicy @CSCCEUCB @eliselgould @zanemokhiber https://t.co/5Yeh6OIOCU #teacherspay

Op-Ed @nytimes on #prek; Q posed in article: "And, finally, how can new pre-K programs in cities like NYC, San Antonio and Seattle deliver it?". Translating #policy to #practice: Is there use for a #behavioralscience lens? https://t.co/GSeFJRzXyR #earlyyears

Playtime might conflict with general beliefs in broader culture about what a "real school" is, so it comes to seem like reform or innovation. #Play is not frivolous; are cultural conceptions of "real #schools" frivolous? https://t.co/1BjowzvD5Q @aishaschnell @blog_bold @Miyogman

@MicroSociety Interested to hear more about the easily digestible + visually captivating package. How was it developed? Did it improve reading habits?

[beELL @beELLorg]

@First_Focus @MomsRising There are a lot of great books for #summerreading. How can we give moms information without overwhelming? #choiceoverload #behavioraleconomics #ece #earlyed We partnered w/ @nypl and sent moms lib cards + a book!

[beELL @beELLorg]

We are participating and bringing a behavioral lens to thinking about #summer reading!

[Child Care Law Center @childcarelaw]

Why is reading such an important element of early childhood? Join @MomsRising & friends for a #SummerReading twitter storm this Thursday at 2pm ET!

ECE Workers have disproportionate rates of depression: “They describe the jobs as extremely stressful, extremely demanding, but with very low status and a lot of what’s experienced as disrespect from both parents and society more generally,” @HeatherDHill2 https://t.co/j2UiFCjpsn

Bandwidth dedicated to one area of thinking depletes that which can be applied to another area. Does heightened periods of food insecurity correspond with sub-optimal financial or parenting decisions? Thanks @agpines @anika__sf for contribution. https://t.co/227MngIWaK

To strengthen #ECE workforce, recognize limited mental bandwidth & foster strong professional identities and sense of professional value #earlyedchat @preschoolToday @momsirsing @mamasconpoder @First_Focus

"The birth of my son was a joyous occasion. Still, like Kutuzov, I’m at a loss to explain it: it’s a momentous choice, but I can’t pinpoint the making of it in space or time." @joshuarothman

[beELL @beELLorg]

"Can it be that I allowed Napoleon to get as far as Moscow?” Tolstoy’s General Kutuzov wonders. “When was it decided? Was it yesterday, when I sent Platov the order to retreat, or was it the evening before, when I dozed off & told Bennigsen to give the orders? Or still earlier?”
