While it would be politically explosive for the Wall Street elite to again be given tax breaks, keep in mind that the securities industry accounts for 21% of all private-sector wages paid in the city. For all the efforts to diversify the local econ- omy by expanding tourism, technology and other sectors, finance remains vital to the city’s fiscal health. De Blasio’s signature issue is income inequality, and he’s railed against subsidies for the Wall Street crowd.

After all, we have a lot to prepare for—specifically, 500,000 Npeople, bringing the population to 9 million in the next two decades. Not everyone accepts this as desirable, or even inevitable: Soldiers of the status quo pop up at every turn. But they are essentially trying to hold back the tide. As long as there is economic opportunity here, people will keep coming. We need them to fit in, not pile in. When Crain’s called on big thinkers in the business community to pitch some projects, they came through with outside-the-box ideas (see page RESIDENTS AND TOURISTS are increasingly crowding the city’s sidewalks, 19). Naysayers would call their plans too ambitious or foolishly optimistic, streets and subways. We need them to fit in, not pile in. but we see them as bold if not prescient. The proposals don’t accept, for example, that the city will need highways like the Brooklyn-Queens Ex- Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s latest plan got the balance of its pressway in the years to come, or that isolated, low-slung neighborhoods funding from a mere promise by the governor, not an actual allocation. like Red Hook can never have subways and high-rises.

While over 3,500 students of color entered school with the guidance of Early Steps, it is humbling to know that the impact has been so much greater. We hear time and © 2012 Victoria Jackson Photography again how families, schools and lives have been trans- formed as a result of the doors of opportunity that were opened with the help of Early Steps. Doors where academic excellence is the norm and children learn and play with others whose life’s experiences are not the same as theirs, benefitting all children. We are proud of our 30-year partnership with now over 50 New York City independent schools who nurture, educate and challenge our children to be the best that they can be. They couldn’t be in better hands! Tonight we honor four Early Steps alumni. These accomplished young adults all benefited from the wisdom of their parents who knew the importance of providing their children with the best possible education beginning in Kindergarten.

  • Dwight School Tech Chair Basil Kolani Organizes Fourth Tedxnyed Conference at Brooklyn Tech
    Dwight School Tech Chair Basil Kolani Organizes Fourth TEDxNYED Conference at Brooklyn Tech “Inside-Outside” Is the Theme of April 27th Event for Educators New York, NY ― Friday, April 26, 2013: Tomorrow, April 27, educators throughout New York City will gather at the fourth annual TEDxNYED Conference organized by Dwight School Chair of Information Services and Technology Basil Kolani and fellow educators. This year’s conference, which will take place at Brooklyn Technical High School in Brooklyn, NY, will be organized around the theme of “Inside-Outside,” focusing discussions about education from both inside and outside schools and classrooms. Attendees will expand their knowledge of the synergies between the fields of education and technology at this TED-licensed event. Since 1984, TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design), has provided a forum for the exchange of ideas about the latest innovations and the forging of collaborations through networking. “In 2009, TED began enabling individuals to set up their own TEDx conferences,” recalled Mr. Kolani. I immediately set about gathering a team, and we were among the first to apply for an event centered around education.” As a teacher, Mr. Kolani is constantly innovating both in terms of leveraging technology to enable improved instruction of a wide range of subjects, as well as teaching students about how they can properly leverage technology in their own personal educational journey. His social media class was the subject of a 2011 New York Times profile. To Mr. Kolani, the TEDxNYED experience is emblematic of Dwight School’s three pillars: personalized learning, community, and global vision. The diverse backgrounds of speakers and their perspectives will contribute to the larger dialogue among attendees, while the local, self-organized aspect of this event fosters a focus on the community.
