New Research and the Pay-Off to Quality Early Care and Education Atlanta, GA September 23, 2013 Steve Barnett, PhD

Big Picture Research Early childhood experience becomes part of the child’s biology –Impacts school success –Impacts adult health and mental health –Impacts adult productivity Quality matters most at the “high end” The United States has relatively little good ECE Nevertheless there is growing evidence of large scale long-term impacts and economic returns

Quality and long-term test score gains (123 studies since 1960)

Overall Access is not increasing at Ages 3 &4

Some Regions have much better Pre-K

National Head Start Impact Study to 3 rd Grade One year of Head Start has modest positive impacts Lasting effects of Head Start are small Some indications of effects at 3 rd grade Crossovers lead study to underestimate effects by about 50 percent Control group attends other preschools adding to underestimation Public schools help kids behind catch up, its not “fade out” Head Start needs to improve & has improved Since National Study Head Start has raised quality and child gains Most ambitious Head Start reforms in 50 years now underway Sequestration is hurting Head Start improvement Head Start teachers still paid about the same as dog walkers

New State Pre-K Studies 11 state study (CA, GA, IL, KY, MA, NJ, NY, OH, TX, WI, WA) moderate gains Tennessee RDD and RCT: substantial initial effects, subsample no effects at K/1 except reduced grade repetition—waiting on 3 rd grade results Boston RDD: Gains in cognitive abilities, executive function and social skills Rhode Island Randomized Trial: Modest gains, larger for low income children Chicago: Half-day v. full-day, well implemented full-day has larger impacts Oklahoma: Initial gains in cognitive abilities, executive function, and social skills, few gains at grade 3 (1 of 2 waves on math) but problems with follow-up Long-term AR, GA, MI, NC, NJ, NY, and TX all have some positive gains –gains can be quite small, but even small gains have substantial economic value Michigan: less repetition, increased on time graduation at 12 th grade New Jersey: less repetition and special education, higher test scores at 5 th grade

High standards for learning and teaching Good teachers and small classes Continuous improvement system with coaching Adequate funding with public school salaries 6 hour educational day, 180-day program, plus extended day/full year wrap around Part of systemic reform P-3 All 3 and 4 yr. olds in 31 school systems Public-private system with 60% private providers NJ Example : Universal High Quality In 31 High Poverty Districts

Long-term Test Scores Increased Across the Board

Much Less Grade Repetition and Special Education

Takeaway Lessons 1.Even small long-term gains have high value, but they require large initial impacts 2.Quality is the key to big, meaningful effects 3.We need to build the will for quality Birth to 8
