The formation of the NDPC Fellows creates an opportunity for ensuring that research on the need for quality preschool education for all children will be expanded. Students who are more likely to drop out of school are typically in greater need of early intervention or early childhood education in the preschool years. An important role of the NDPC Fellows is to make visible the research outcomes that document the impact of early childhood education on student academic achievement, indicators of social success, and increased capacity for wage earning and making long-term contributions to society in general. I look forward to utilizing my expertise and interest in early childhood education in the research efforts of the NDPC Fellows.
