High-quality early education packs a powerful financial punch.
"You can think of having a better kindergarten teacher as being worth something like $300,000 for a classroom of students," Harvard economist Raj Chetty said earlier this month in an episode of NPR’s Hidden Brain podcast.
In other words, a classroom of kids with a high-quality kindergarten teacher will earn $300,000 more than a classroom without a highly skilled teacher. What makes a good kindergarten teacher? Chetty says this isn’t fully known, but strong teachers have key skills such as the ability to manage a classroom, to help children focus, and to inspire them.
