In a brief programming note: I’m going to be traveling next week and will be off the blog. In my place, Louise Stoney will be guest blogging about QRIS. Louise and I don’t always agree on this issue, but she’s one of the smartest and most thoughtful people working in early childhood policy today and I know you’ll find what she has to say interesting. I’ll be back in early May with this year’s list of Next Generation Education Leaders. It’s going to be epic!
