Deans for Impact has culled through the (massive amount of!) research on early learning and created a succinct list of teaching strategies, based on scientific understanding. These strategies, specifically focused on building agency, literacy and numeracy, are in a new report called The Science of Early Learning.

The report aims to inform teachers, and especially colleges and programs that prepare teachers, on research-based approaches to foster the early learning of young children. Parents and caregivers will also find this report helpful.

The report is a starting point to explore the science of early learning and promotes practical applications of the research. It begins with how children develop a sense of self and builds into how students learn to read and write proficiently, and lastly discusses mathematic thinking.
