Head Start Plus: The Case for Piloting a Cadillac Public ECE Program
Robert J. Duncan , Jade Marcus Jenkins , Drew H. Bailey | EdWorkingPapers | Tue, 04 Aug 2026
The long-term impacts of early childhood education (ECE) programs at scale are smaller than those produced by influential demonstration programs half a century ago. Several factors likely contribute, some of which are in the control of policymakers and the designers of ECE programs (e.g., targeting and quality), and some of which are not (quality of conditions for children not served by ECE programs and children’s experiences outside of ECE). Current efforts to measure and improve quality at scale are admirable, but this review argues for a complementary approach: the government should pilot a Cadillac public ECE program using the infrastructure of the federal Head Start program, called Head Start Plus . This program would be targeted toward the most disadvantaged children in the U.S. (those with the lowest family income and maternal education, and other dimensions of adversity) and would include several high-quality features; most notably, low child-to-teacher ratios (~6:1 for preschoolers) and small group sizes. A pilot evaluation of the program would offer insights into the feasibility of achieving impacts and cost-benefit ratios in the range of those from demonstration programs and would provide benchmarks for effect sizes on measures of classroom processes and child outcomes that can guide the design, improvement, and evaluation of existing and future programs.

Out-of-field mathematics teaching in Ireland: framing the problem and solution
Stephen Quirke, Merrilyn Goos | ZDM - Mathematics Education | Tue, 04 Aug 2026
This paper examines the policy context in Ireland that brought about a national professional development programme – the Professional Diploma in Mathematics for Teaching (PDMT) – specifically designed for upskilling out-of-field (OOF) teachers of mathematics. The aims of our study are to: (1) investigate the framing of the problem and solution to OOF mathematics teaching in Ireland; (2) consider the limitations of such a framing; and (3) envision possibilities for the future. We adopted a policy-as-discourse perspective to analyse 42 policy texts that trace debates pertaining to OOF teaching of mathematics in Ireland before and after the introduction of the PDMT. The texts include transcripts of parliamentary debates; ministerial statements and press releases; newspaper articles; research reports; reports by government departments, agencies, and learned societies; the government’s Request for Tender to deliver the upskilling programme; and the PDMT handbook. Analysis of these texts was guided by the six questions that operationalise Bacchi’s What is the Problem Represented to Be? framework, and involved identifying key ideas and their underpinning assumptions regarding OOF mathematics teacher upskilling. This analysis demonstrated that the ‘problem’ of OOF mathematics teaching was constructed through an assumed causal relationship between teacher qualifications, students’ performance and interest in mathematics, and economic outcomes. The resulting policy response to this deficit representation of OOF teachers framed upskilling as a commonsense solution to securing Ireland’s economic competitiveness. We suggest that considering the problem differently – for example, by acknowledging existing identities, expertise, and experience of OOF mathematics teachers – may lead to different solutions.

Addressing STEMM’s Leaky Pipeline: Evaluating a Novel Equity-Focused, Course-Based Academic Model for Underrepresented Minority First-Year Students
Eshan Arora, Wateen Sadek, Joseph P. Bielawski | Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education | Tue, 04 Aug 2026
Despite growing equity initiatives, underrepresentation persists in STEMM fields across Canada limiting cognitive diversity. At Dalhousie University, institutional data revealed steep attrition of underrepresented minority (URM) science students from undergraduate to doctoral levels, most acutely among local African Nova Scotian (ANS) and Mi’kmaq populations, underscoring the urgency of addressing STEMM’s leaky pipeline . This study evaluates a novel set of courses (FIGS0021/0022), developed as a first-year intervention to support URM students through the Dalhousie Science Scholars & Leaders Program (DSSLP): Canada’s first community-centred, course-based, longitudinal STEMM equity initiative. The program aims to strengthen students’ academic sense of belonging (ASB), clarify knowledge of the hidden curriculum (KHC), and foster early STEMM career-commitment and professional-identity overlap (STEMM-PIO). Using a mixed-methods design across two cohorts (2023–2025), DSSLP-FIGS students ( n = 26) completed validated pre–post surveys incorporating Likert items, demographic questions, and multi-metric instruments to assess eight core competencies. Quantitative inferences (via Welch’s t -tests, Mann–Whitney U -tests, McNemar’s exact test, Chi-square test) assessed changes across four domains. Thematic analysis of student testimonials complemented these findings by capturing perceived competency growth and course impact. Significant improvements ( p < 0.001) were observed in students’ ASB, KHC (including intragraduate, graduate, and post-graduate knowledge domains), and STEMM-PIO. Additionally, ANS-identifying students were more likely to report meaningful faculty connections than non-participant peers. The findings affirm the DSSLP-FIGS courses as an effective intervention for improving early STEMM outcomes among URM students. By integrating adaptive pedagogy and leadership development, the program offers a comprehensive model for advancing equity in Canadian STEMM higher-education.

Timely high school completion is a critical step in successful transitions to post-secondary schooling and the labor market. This randomized controlled trial, deployed in two urban, disadvantaged school districts, tests the effectiveness of a mature and comprehensive student-support program on an unusually large scale (n=2,528). While overall effects on graduation rates are small and statistically insignificant, exploratory analyses reveal notable variation by site and over time, mirroring heterogeneity in treatment timing and program implementation. These findings highlight the challenges of scaling interventions and raise concerns about generalizing results from small-scale, single-site evaluations.

23 Years of State Pre-K Expansion: How States Balance Investment, Access, and Quality in the Modern Era
Casey Moran , Mindy L. Rosengarten , Eunho Cha , Jade M. Jenkins , Kenneth A. Dodge , Allison Friedman-Kraus , W. Steven Barnett , Tyler W. Watts | EdWorkingPapers | Mon, 03 Aug 2026
We describe state-funded pre-kindergarten (pre-K) expansion in the modern era from 2002 to 2024, documenting patterns of investment and reach. Although spending and enrollment increased substantially, states pursued widely varying expansion strategies. A 200% increase in pre-K enrollment did not reduce spending on enrolled children. Instead, we observed an average increase of 21% in per-pupil spending. Overall enrollment rates in any form of preschool (including the private market) did not differ between states offering universal and means-tested (targeted) programs, though states with universal eligibility saw more children enroll in the state-supported programs. Preschool enrollment of children from low-income families did not differ across universal and means-tested programs. Observable state characteristics did not predict pre-K investment. Implications for policy are discussed.
