City Agency Collaboration, Policy Alignment and Governance Executive Summary 1 A New Educational Philosophy Mayor Bill de Blasio is committed to shifting New York City’s educational landscape in a variety of ways, includ- ing the adoption of more holistic approach to student learning. During his first year in office, he implemented poli cies and programs that recognize and support the social, emotional, physical and academic needs of students. The Mayor has championed a “whole child” approach, pointing to its potential benefits for students in high-need communities who face a myriad of challenges inside and outside of the classroom. Mayor This educational philosophy is reflected in his commitment to establishing 100 Community Schools, which aim to improve student achievement through strong partnerships among principals, parents, teachers, and Community de Blasio Based Organizations (CBOs). A year into the Mayor’s tenure, the de Blasio administration is already on track to surpass his initial goal with 128 Community Schools under development. As a result of this unprecedented envisions the commitment, NYC has become a national leader in an educational movement focused on ad dressing students’ diverse needs, empowering parents to be active participants in their child’s education, and engaging entire com- expansion of munities around student success. Community This Strategic Plan serves as both an update on the work to date and a roadmap for moving forward. The docu- Schools as a ment outlines the Community Schools Initiative within the context of the Mayor’s larger agenda for children and families, summarizes the planning and operational work that has occurred over the past year, and outlines the central strategy key system-building efforts that will be implemented over the next three years. for achieving Community Schools as Part of the Mayor’s Equity Agenda an equitable Mayor de Blasio envisions the expansion of Community Schools as a central strategy for achieving an equitable educational system. The initiative builds off of the Department of Education’s (DOE’s) Framework for Great educational Schools and is aligned with the administration’s various efforts focused on youth and families, coming on the heels of expanding full-day pre-kindergarten to every four-year-old and offering afterschool programs to every system. middle schools student. With equity as a key driver, the administration will develop the next generation of Community Schools and establish the systems and structures to ensure they address inequality in sustainable ways. The programs and interventions provided in Community Schools are evidence-based strategies to close the achievement gap by expanding opportunities for young people. They prepare students—and families—to enter school on the right foot. By increasing student time in the classroom, as well as in the local museum, on the playing field, and in the chess club, Community Schools help prepare students to be college and career ready. Community Schools in Practice Every Community School is different and reflects the strengths and needs of its students, families, and local com- munity. However, the most successful Community Schools are anchored in a set of common values that serve as a foundation: • Strong instruction designed to provide personalized learning opportunities for students. • Robust engagement, anchored in positive youth development, ensuring that schools are welcoming and empowering to students, families and community members. • Continuous improvement using school and student data to tailor programming and instruction focused on results. In addition, Community Schools share common features that support student learning: • School leadership has a clear instructional vision and high expectations for all students. • Schools implement a collaborative school governance structure that includes a lead CBO partner and members of the School Leadership Team (SLT). • Expanded learning time includes academic interventions and enrichment activities and is aligned with school day curriculum and expectations. • Student attendance is supported through drop-out prevention strategies. • Parents and caregivers are real and active partners in their children’s education. • Positive youth development strategies are infused across academics, programs and services. • Mental health, medical, and social services are available to students who need them. • Community members are engaged in activities that help build a stronger school community. • Family members have access to educational opportunities and programs that strengthen families. nyc.gov/communityschools 2 Evidence to Support Community Schools There is a strong and diverse evidence base for the NYC Community School model. A NYC Department of Education (DOE) review of over 20 national studies found that Community Schools have positive impacts on academic achieve- ment, graduation rates, post-secondary outcomes, attendance and attitudes towards school. Additionally, research has shown the following results: • Community Schools see greater parent involvement and reduced student absenteeism, and consistent school attendance is strongly tied to academic improvement at all grade levels. • Increasing parent engagement is proven to increase academic outcomes for students. • Increased instructional time—measured as the time students are engaged in learning—along with tutoring and high expectations, are strong predictors of higher achievement. • Higher teacher attendance and job satisfaction have been observed in Community Schools. • Community Schools are an efficient strategy, demonstrating a strong return on public investment. Core Elements of a NYC Community School The administration has developed a framework to ensure consistency and quality across Community Schools, while also providing schools with sufficient flexibility to encourage innovation. That framework is based on the following Core Elements: Core Programs and Services Core Structures Needed to Provide Services • Expanded Learning Time • Dedicated Community School Director • Early Childhood Education • Ongoing Needs Assessment • Health Services • Defined Community Partnerships • Mental Health • Intentional Coordination of Services • Parent and Family Engagement • Strategic Data Collection & Analysis • Community Engagement • Authentic School-Based Governance • Guidance and Social Services • Adult and Family Services Core Outcomes and Results: Student-Level Results • Increased attendance and student engagement • Greater connectedness to adults and classmates in their schools • Development of social and emotional skills necessary for success • Improved academic performance School-Level Outcomes • Improved school culture and climate • Families are more actively engaged in children’s education • More seamless service delivery through increased collaboration between schools and partners nyc.gov/communityschools 3 Strategic Growth Plan In order to meet – and surpass – the Mayor’s original goal of 100 fully developed Community Schools, the admin- istration will execute several strategies for selecting, supporting, and developing Community Schools over the next several years. Those strategies include: Strategy Timeline: Year 1 (2014-2015) Estimated Year 2 (2015-2016) Number of Year 3 (2016-2017) Schools Attendance Improvement and Funding begins in Year 1; full implementation will happen over the course of Year 1 - Year 3 Drop-Out Prevention (AIDP) Funding 45 Renewal Schools Funding begins at the end of Year

    Mary Cregan Master Class The Woman in the Mirror May 20, 2019 Hosted by New-York Historical Society FELLOWS Kimberly Adams Broome Street Academy Charter School, grades 11, 12, teaching 9 years, English I have done work in both my Journalism and English 12 classes looking at texts through a gender lens and doing research surrounding both American and global gender dynamics. I am passionate about engaging students of all genders in reflection on how gender norms and gender discrimination affects us all, not just women. I also find it more important than ever to bring awareness to elements of intersectionality when discussing feminism. Dalia Angrand Williamsburg Preparatory School, grades 10, 11, teaching 18 years, English Students often start out nervous and resistant when I ask them to write narratives, or to write creatively in any way. However, that resistance almost always turns to excitement as they begin to list, draw, diagram, and free-write about their lives, drawing power from their own stories. Over time, they craft compelling narratives: authentic responses to experiences, both positive and negative, that they often had no control over. Writing becomes a way for them to exert that control. Danielle Carniaux The Clinton School, grades 9, 12, teaching 8 years, IB Language and Literature This was the first year I integrated third-world feminism into my curriculum on post-colonial literature. It was a challenging and gratifying topic. Students agreed that western feminism (second- and third-wave) didn’t meet the needs of women of the third worlds, but they had a harder time understanding that third-world feminism isn’t just intersectional—it is unique to developing countries and their populations.
