  New Review of Curriculum Effectiveness Finds More Winners 
A report
<http://www.bestevidence.org/word/early_child_ed_Apr_15_2010.pdf>  from
Johns Hopkins University evaluates the effectiveness of preschool
curricula many of which also appear in the What Works Clearinghouse
ratings. Several programs with low ratings from WWC, which has been
criticized by curriculum developers, do better in the Johns Hopkins
effort. Of the 28 programs included, 11 receive favorable ratings, with
six showing "strong" evidence of effectiveness and five showing
"moderate" evidence of effectiveness.
