We've got a new paper @HarrisBIPLab! Super excited to share promising experimental results from our parent-child conversation tool, "Chat2Learn." Conversation prompts sent directly to parents by text significantly boost young children's vocabulary and parents' growth mindset.

In DC Monday? I'd love to see you at Brookings, where I'll be a panel discussant on a new report from the State of the Nation Project, of which I was a co-author, in which we provide a critical analysis of the US’ status on key societal measures.

Will ed tech help to increase student skills and close income-based test score gaps? In my new Op-Ed with @May153204 and Michelle Michelini we argue for more evidence, followed by thoughtful policy interventions, to answer this question. @HarrisBIPLab

Check out our new partnership with ISBE and the Governor’s office to support preschool families with a free text based program.

[Illinois State Board of Education @ISBEnews]

Ask your preschool-age child, "What 3 words describe you best?" Share words you think describe your child.

That 👆is an example of Chat2Learn, a program from @HarrisBIPLab and @GovPritzker to engage families via text message, to boost school readiness. https://t.co/jm0FBvak5E

This $60 billion bailout of Boeing would be enough to start a nationwide high quality child care system (modeled on the US military system), offering great pre-k for all kids and making it far easier for parents to work. Or we could rescue a company that makes planes that crash.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

Unemployment at the peak of the Depression in 1933 was 24.9%. The Treasury Sec., lobbying the @GOP senate caucus for action, reportedly said we could face 20% as a result of this crisis. Stunning number.
