I am thrilled to see the work of the @221men & our team of @Chemonics & partners in Senegal highlighted in this article on highly effective, large scale programs that get kids reading. We are so proud of the results. @USAIDSenegal @MamadouAmadouL2 @GPforEducation @WBG_Education

Great to see @RTI_INTL_DEV 's #NumeracyatScale research program findings contributed to the design of the Malawi National Numeracy Program See learningatscale.net/numeracy-findi… And the draft paper - bit.ly/4gBJGRC - from Lontum Nchadze et al. #WWHGlobalEd24

@DaveEvansPhD @Yuan_Fei_ Dave, one objection to .1 or .2 talk, right, is that it's often not accompanied by meaning-making & importance compared to benchmarks, e.g., most/all kids actually reading & what's the continued trajectory to get there. What's some of the best work you've seen on that, if any?

Someone wrote to me and said: 0.2 standard deviations in learning improvement doesn't seem very big, and I replied, "Well actually, it's double the median improvement!" per my study with @Yuan_Fei_ (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/01…).

@DaveEvansPhD Dave, thank you for sharing this and bringing your singular humor-driven, earnest, and thoughtful analysis to something so personal in a way that can help so many of us. Big hugs to you.

At the end of last year, I was diagnosed with cancer (specifically, diffuse large b-cell lymphoma). Boo! I then underwent four months of chemotherapy. The cancer is now in remission. I’m fine! Yay! Here’s a little thread 🧵 about my experience, in case it is of use to others.

HCA brought together African educational leaders and industry champions to discuss progress in addressing the learning crisis. Alongside @ADEAnet, a call to action was issued ahead of the 37th African Union Summit in February. #HCAsummit4action

@patbahn You bet! DC has strong end markets for rigid plastic containers made of #1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 plastics - largely with end markets in North America. All of those plastics in DC’s system earn revenue on the commodity market, same with paper and metal. Glass has a negative value…

SDG indicator 4.1.1a is key to tracking foundational learning. Without it, we risk leaving gaps in global education accountability. Read more about this here palnetwork.org/4-1-1-a-campai…
