In a new article, MIT News discusses Blueprint Labs’ Preschool Research Convening. Researchers, funders, practitioners, and policymakers traveled to Nashville, Tennessee for the convening to discuss the future of preschool research. Blueprint Affiliate Jesse Bruhn discussed his review of lottery-based preschool studies, which finds that preschool improves children’s short-run academic outcomes, but those effects fade over time. However, positive impacts re-emerge in the long term through improved outcomes like high school graduation and college enrollment.
