  • Building Relationships, Inspiring Success
    2015 ANNUAL REPORT BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS, INSPIRING SUCCESS. Strategies that Support Success Grounded in the conviction that all young people genuinely want to do well, the Ramapo Approach is a set of strategies and tools designed to help young people overcome challenges and experience success. Whether on our Rhinebeck Campus or through our work in schools and youth service agencies, our staff members help create supportive environments and make sure no one gets left behind. 2 RAMAPO 2015 Supporting Success from Early Childhood to Independence For many of our partners, families and alumni, the connection to Ramapo is emotional and deeply personal. Perhaps it’s simply because we work on behalf of children who are society’s most vulnerable. Perhaps there is something more. When our children are born, we have lofty aspirations regarding parenting and how we want to be seen in our children’s eyes. When a college or graduate student comes to work at Camp ,RESPONDING, ,REFLECTING, Ramapo, they are armed with great optimism about the impact REPAIRING they will have on the children who will be entrusted in their care. When an emerging professional makes the choice to be a teacher in an urban school, they enter the classroom with an ADAPTING FOR ambitious vision for the role they hope to play in their students’ INDIVIDUAL NEEDS lives. Yet all of us—parents, teachers and anyone who works with children—discover at some point along the way, that the job we actually have is not always exactly the one we envisioned. Children can be challenging. Despite our best intentions, there ,CLEAR EXPECTATIONS, are moments when we feel ill-equipped or catch ourselves STRUCTURES & ROUTINES saying or doing things that seem incongruous with the people we aspire to be.

The descriptions are based on reports made to our office by parents, teachers, and school administrators during the past year. Reported problems are found in every residential neighborhood in Manhattan, encompassing uptown and downtown, east side and west side, and in communities of every cultural, ethnic and income demographic. The narratives are organized into three categories: I. Overcrowded which suggests that the school is overcapacity or has waitlists. II. Substandard Learning Facility which relates to lack of cluster space, graffiti on school walls, or trailers used as classrooms. III. Destabilized School Community which implies a fear of or concern about an imminent relocation or tension related to a co-located school. Each school is placed under the category with which it most closely aligns. In addition, there is a note about whether the school is co-located. To provide a complete and accurate snapshot of overcrowding, the corresponding map includes schools identified as “overcrowded” by our office in our third and most recent “Crowded Out” report, issued in September 2009. These situations are multi-faceted and deeply emotional for many of the parties involved, and the narratives below reflect many of the stories that we hear on a daily basis.
