Location: New America, 740 15th St NW #900 Washington, D.C.

The first decade of children’s lives provides the foundation for a lifetime of learning, growth, and development. And yet, the programs and services available to young children and their families are often of inconsistent quality and highly fragmented. Across the country, schools and communities struggle to connect the steps for children and families and create a well-coordinated sequence of high-quality learning experiences and comprehensive supports across these critical years. 

In a new study, “All Children Learn and Thrive: Building First 10 Schools and Communities,” released on April 30, David Jacobson looks at innovative schools and communities engaged in this work and offers a new way of improving children’s early experiences by linking P-3 educational improvement strategies and community school models. Join New America and Education Development Center for a presentation by Jacobson on what he coins First 10 Schools and Communities. Following the presentation, Education Week’s Christina Samuels will moderate panel discussions on this new way of thinking about children’s first 10 years.
