Every child deserves a great education. Development and communications @LuminosFund. Views are my own.

“Do you remember your favorite teachers? They were probably the ones who wanted to learn your name; who had a warm smile; who made you feel that they were glad to be there to help you learn. No matter how old or young we are, we learn best from people who care about us. “

This is the logical outcome of being awash in 500,000,000 million guns in a nation with too few gun laws. And it only changes when we all refuse to vote for any lawmaker - regardless of political party - who opposes gun safety.

🚨 @luminosfund’s program on foundational reading and numeracy in Liberia shows big literacy gains!

“This translates into an impact of 1.5 standard deviations for reading fluency and comprehension, which makes the Luminos program one of the most effective to date,” states IDinsight Senior Economist @jefferyjmcmanus in a new article in @devex.

“When we treat children's play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping them feel the joy that's to be found in the creative spirit. It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives.”

[The Luminos Fund @luminosfund]

As seen in @devex: A new RCT study of the Luminos program in #Liberia confirms that students achieve huge learning gains through our 10-month program. "The most powerful lesson from our work is proving what’s possible," says Luminos CEO, @CaitlinBaron.👇 https://t.co/znvmfhMys2

Wow @luminosfund - sustaining such a big impact at scale is so hard.. @CaitlinBaron

[The Luminos Fund @luminosfund]

The @IDinsight RCT and our recent evaluations show that Luminos Liberia students achieve consistently big learning gains, even as the program doubled from 2,400 to 5,010 children. > https://t.co/H9jQ8Qjyww

[Maretta Silverman @maretta207]

I couldn't be prouder of @luminosfund and the progress that children make in our classrooms. Our team pours their heart + soul into this! At the same time, so, so many children are still shut out from learning. Much work remains to ensure EVERY child can receive a good education.

[The Luminos Fund @luminosfund]

In just one school year, Liberian children enrolled in the Luminos program learn 90% of what the average Liberian will learn in their lifetime. Our latest blog highlights this and other key takeaways from the new @IDinsight RCT of our program in #Liberia.👇https://t.co/H9jQ8Qjyww

[Caitlin Baron @CaitlinBaron]

Such a moment of pride for our team as our latest evaluation, an RCT from @IDinsight shows transformative learning gains for Luminos students - 1.5 Standard Deviations ahead of the control group! https://t.co/ngedhlX0p8
