Citywide A New Initiative To Combat Bullying
Oct. 19, 2011, 2:48 p.m.
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 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, by professionals from the Mental Health Association of New York City. Students can call for services in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese and other languages, translated immediately.
The UFT is providing a grant of more than $50,000 to pay for the first year of the initiative, which also includes workshops for parents and school staff to help schools build on their own anti-bullying programs. The U.F.T plans to expand the hotline services in January for students to connect through text messaging and online chat.
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.
