And what I love about being an historian is it gives you perspective.

Today, I'd like to bring that perspective to education in the United States.

我喜歡當歷史學家 是因為它帶來觀點。

今天，我想把這觀點 帶入美國的教育。

is that the most strategic time for a child to start learning

最佳的兒童開始學習時間是學前。

there was a watershed moment in early education in the US

美國的學前教育 出現了一個分水嶺

叫做「Head Start」 （啟蒙方案）。

because it makes it so easy to talk about what came before

在 Head Start 之前 基本上什麼都沒有。

we began to get our nation's most at-risk children ready for school.

處境最危險的兒童準備好上學。

but there are still 2.2 million children in the US

or more than half of the four-year-olds in the country.

But the bigger problem is what we know happens to those children.

但更大的問題是我們知道 那些兒童的預後不良。

At-risk children who reach school without basic skills

他們日後上學時不具備基本的技能，

40 percent more likely to become teen parents

成為未成年父母的可能性增加 40％，

and 60 percent less likely to go to college.

So if we know how important early education is,

為何有些兒童還是沒受學前教育呢？

There are barriers that the solutions we've come up with to date

Transportation: think working parents everywhere.

Parent choice: no state requires a four-year-old to go to school.

家長的選擇：沒有任何一州 要求四歲的兒童必須得上學。

And cost: the average cost for a state to educate a preschooler

還有成本：各州教育 學齡前兒童的平均成本是

So am I just going to keep talking about problems?

Today, I want to tell you about a cost-effective, technology-delivered,

kindergarten-readiness program that can be done in the home.

We develop early learning software designed to individualize instruction,

我們開發了個性化教學的 學前教育軟體，

讓兒童們按照自己的進度學習。

To do that, we rely on experts from fields ranging from reading to sociology

為此，我們倚賴各領域的專家——

to brain science development to all aspects of early learning,

閱讀、社會學、大腦發育 和各方面學前教育的專家——

to tell us what the software should do and look like.

來告訴我們這軟體該做什麼、 看起來該是什麼模樣。

(Video) Zero (sings to the tune of "Day-O"): Zero!

Zero is the number that's different from the others.

海鷗：0 是一個大而圓的 「O」。

Zero: It's not like one, I'm sure you'll discover.

海鷗：0 是一個大而圓的「O」。

克勞迪婭•麥訥：那是《0 的歌》。

And here are Odd Todd and Even Steven to teach you some things about numbers.

有奇數陶德（Odd Todd） 和偶數史蒂芬（Even Steven）

and they're going to show you when you blend letter sounds together,

把字母的聲音混在一起就形成字。

You can see that instruction is short, colorful and catchy,

看得到該指令簡短、 色彩鮮豔、引人入勝，

that makes it different and more effective.

And we tell them the software can check every reading, math and science box,

但他們得要負責教 運動和自助的技能。

and together, we're going to work on social emotional learning.

我們將一起教孩子們 學習社交和情感。

because we have a 90-percent completion rate for the program.

因為我們的計劃完成率達到 90％。

Last year, that translated into 13,500 children

"graduating," with diplomas, from UPSTART.

that shows our children have two to three times the learning gains

as children who don't participate in the program.

未參加此計劃兒童的二到三倍。

We have a random control trial that shows strong evidence of effectiveness,

我們有一項隨機對照的試驗 呈現卓著成效的有力證據。

that shows our children's gains last into third and fourth grade,

顯示我們兒童的好成績持續到 三年級和四年級，
