Lincove's early childhood edu. project one of two funded
The UMBC Sherman Center for Early Learning in Urban Communities has announced its 2019-2020 research fellows, including Public Policy's own Prof. Jane A. Lincove.
Two projects were selected for funding - one led by Dr. Patricia Young, Education, and the other led by Dr. Lincove.
Dr. Lincove with co-investigators, Dr. Lieny Jeon (Johns Hopkins University) and Ms. Sarah Bollard (Baltimore City Public Schools), will conduct a three-year study entitled, Judy Centers in Baltimore: Improving Data-Informed Decisions. This study will develop a new database from existing sources to investigate the effect of Judy Center services on young children’s kindergarten readiness, the relative effectiveness of different Judy Center programs and services, and the potential for measuring outcomes for children before they enter kindergarten. In addition to improving early childhood data systems and infrastructure, this project will produce relevant research for policy and program improvements.
Congrats Dr. Lincove, Dr. Young, and co-investigators!
