A Path Forward For Early Ed Reform (Ed Central / Forbes) - Between 2009 and 2013, enrollment in state-funded pre-K programs barely budged, up from 40 to 42 percent. Meanwhile, per-child spending on those pre-K programs fell, and Head Start programs felt the effects of sequestration more acutely than most, with 57,000 kids forced out. A new report released last week, Beyond Subprime Learning: Accelerating Progress in Early Education, charts a path forward for early learning in America with a series of essential improvements–and a few bold ideas that, with enough political will, could fundamentally change the design of the birth-to-third-grade educational spectrum. The report’s recommendations are wide-ranging and cover a number of topics but two categories in particular could make a big difference: streamlining the current system, and tapping into sources for sustainable public funding. edcentral.org/path-forward-early-ed-reform/
