The Hechinger Report
It's been hard to prove that attending preschool makes a difference for kids, academically. Many research studies have found that children who didn't go to preschool catch up to those who did in just a few years. By third grade, there's often no difference in math and reading scores between the preschooled and the non-preschooled child. Experts call it "fadeout." That hasn't sat well with advocates of early childhood education. They point to other studies that have looked beyond elementary schools' test scores, and have found that preschooled children are more likely to graduate from high school, be employed and raise families in stable marriages.

From the moment a child is born, its gender pretty much determines how they will dress, which toys they'll be given and ultimately how they are meant to behave within society. But some schools in Sweden are trying to strip away such gender norms. There's nothing obviously out of the ordinary at Sweden's gender-neutral preschools at first glance. There are no designated areas to play with dolls or building blocks. The toys have been strategically jumbled to create an environment for girls and boys to play together.

When it comes to school communications, parents today want more information from their children's teachers and schools, but they also want that information to be timely, targeted and personalized to their children or their interest areas. The latest data from Speak Up Research Project gives insights on school-to-home communications. In "Text, Twitter, Email, Call — What Do Parents Say About School Communications?" Dr. Julie Evans, chief executive officer of Project Tomorrow, shared these insights from parents, educators, and administrators, and discussed takeaways from the research.

Suzanne Bouffard's new book, "The Most Important Year", may be just what parents of preschoolers have been waiting for: a guide to what a quality pre-K program should look like. Bouffard spent a lot of time in classrooms watching teachers do some really good things and some not-so-good things. What are some of the things you learned? Successful pre-K [programs] teach children to learn to be learners, how to be curious about how things work and find answers to problems.

Education DIVE
4-year-olds in Massachusetts are more likely to attend formal early-childhood education programs, such as Head Start or a pre-K class, than 3-year-olds, according to the early results of a new longitudinal early education study from researchers at Harvard University. The findings, from a household survey, could suggest that more options are open to 4-year-olds or that parents are more motivated to enroll their children in preschool the year prior to kindergarten, the researchers say. 3-year-olds are just as likely to spend time in center-based programs as they are informal settings, such as friend, relative and neighbor care; a family child-care home; or at home with a parent.

The Hechinger Report
A new study published this month in the journal Child Development, found that eight key teacher actions can make the difference between a mediocre preschool classroom and an excellent one. A team of Vanderbilt University researchers spent two years gathering the data used to prove that these actions worked. Dale Farran, the head researcher, says the project was a direct result of the disappointing results of her previous research, a multi-year study published in 2015, which showed that Tennessee's state preschool program had no effect or in some cases a negative effect on participants by the time they reached third grade.

Sign language translators convey emotion and tone without saying a word. Sad. Mad. Frustrated. Worried. Conveying tone in face-to-face meetings includes gestures and facial expressions in addition to actual spoken word tone. Email communications rely only on the written word. How can you better show emotions and intention in an email? Just as a sign language translator finds ways to show emotions through signs, you can add further dimension to your written school communication.
