Common Core Standards June 2012
New York State has adopted a new set of standards known as the Common Core Standards that will begin full implementation in the 2012-2013 school year. These standards require a shift in how we approach teaching and learning and require that the curriculum contain more rigor and raises the bar as far as the expectations of the students. The state has posted the document below that gives a good overview of the expectations and guidance for what should be done at home to support the students.

Citywide A New Initiative To Combat Bullying  Oct. 19, 2011
Students who are victims of harassment and intimidation by their peers now have access to a telephone hotline to professional counselors.
The phone number for the hotline is 212-709-3222.
It will be staffed from 2:30 pm to 9:30 pm, Monday through Friday, by professionals from the Mental Health Association of NYC. Students can call for services in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese and other languages, translated immediately.
The new hotline is part of a wider initiative called BRAVE (Building Respect, Acceptance, and Voice through Education), announced Wednesday by the United Federation of Teachers with support from the Mental Health Association of New York City. It will connect students with clinicians and mental health professionals who can provide supportive listening, crisis intervention, suicide risk assessments and advice on crisis de-escalation.

Progress Reports      September 2011

Progress Reports give each school an overall letter grade based on three categories:
student progress (60 percent),
student performance (25 percent), and
school environment (15 percent).
The student progress component measures how well schools are helping students improve from one year to the next. The student performance component measures student proficiency in reading and math. The school environment component compiles the results of surveys taken by parents, students, and teachers at each school last spring, as well as student attendance rates.  Schools can also earn additional credit by achieving exemplary gains with high-need students.

Seventy-five percent of a school’s Progress Report score comes from comparing the school’s results to the 40 or so other schools in the City that serve the most similar student populations. The remaining 25 percent of a school’s score is based on a comparison with all schools citywide that serve the same grade levels.

The Progress Report is one of several measures that make up the City’s accountability system for schools. The Quality Review consists of an observation conducted by an experienced educator, evaluating how well a school is organized to educate its students. The annual School Survey, which factors in to the Progress Report, received responses from over 960,000 parents, students, and teachers about the academic expectations, communications, level of engagement, and degree of safety and respect at their schools.

NYC Family Guide

The NYC Family Guide contains useful information for families about the City’s Children First school reforms, what students are learning, and the kinds of services that are available to the City’s public school students. It also provides information about how families can get involved in their children’s education—and how they can find answers, help, and support.
