Liz Willen Dear reader,

The idea seems like a promising one. Universities lend tech boot camps ([link removed]) their name – and a stream of potential students – while the boot camps offer college students a chance to gain real-world skills and a credential.

However, as Hechinger’s higher education reporter Olivia Sanchez found, no one collects information on how many boot camp students end up in jobs they trained for, or whether those who take out private loans for these non-credit-bearing camps can make their payments. Sanchez explores the rise and fall of one such program and the questions surrounding it in a deeply reported story that also appeared with our partner Wired.

On the other end of our reporting spectrum, early childhood reporter Jackie Mader takes us inside the growing wave of early learning programs seeking to address challenging student behavior by building or expanding their social-emotional component ([link removed]) . And Proof Points columnist Jill Barshay dives into ([link removed]) a study of public school choice in Charlotte, North Carolina, finding a troubling consequence of the program.

We hope you will have comments and questions about these in-depth stories, and will continue to support us by encouraging others to sign up ([link removed]) for our free newsletters — and become a member. ([link removed])

Liz Willen, Editor
