Early Childhood Programs and Evaluation

The Spring 2004 issue of the Harvard Family Research Project's periodical, The Evaluation Exchange charts the course of early childhood programming and evaluation over nearly half a century. Contributing authors offer a range of views on how best to communicate the importance of investing in a child's early years and how to improve early childhood programs and policies. Several articles consider the explosion of science – from longitudinal studies of child outcomes to a large-scale demonstration program -- that has helped forward our understanding of how young children learn and grow. Finally, a number of articles suggest that better information is needed to close the persistent gap in achievement between children from low-income families and those from middle-income homes. View or download this issue at http://www.gse.harvard.edu/hfrp/eval/issue26.

Each issue of The Evaluation Exchange highlights innovative methods and approaches to evaluation, emerging trends in evaluation practice and practical applications of evaluation theory. It goes out to its subscribers free of charge 3–4 times per year. Subscribe for free at http://www.gse.harvard.edu/hfrp/eval.html.
