Programming Algebra I

In partnership with Park East High School, Programming and Interventions for Algebra I Success aims to support schools in replicating a highly successful Algebra I model to enhance equitable student outcomes in mathematics.

Note: Interested schools must attend the August 1 information session for time-sensitive programming guidance.

Science Core Curriculum

The Science Core Curriculum project supports the adoption and implementation of the New Visions Biology and Earth and Space Science courses through curriculum-based professional learning experiences.

Instructional Routines in Social Studies (Global History and Geography)

Instructional Routines in Social Studies (GHG) will pair instructional routines for primary source document analysis with resources in the NVPS Global History and Geography curriculum that highlight the stories of marginalized peoples. As a result, teachers will be able to use the instructional routines with agency throughout our curricular resources, helping them to adopt our curriculum with more integrity and better support student learning.

Instructional Routines in Social Studies (United States History)

Instructional Routines in Social Studies (USH) will pair instructional routines for primary source document analysis with resources in the NVPS United States History curriculum that highlight the stories of marginalized peoples. As a result, teachers will be able to use the instructional routines with agency throughout our curricular resources, helping them to adopt our curriculum with more integrity and better support student learning. The routines developed in IRIS will also foster analytical thinking and support the scaffolding of essential skills for student success on the NYS USH regents exams and beyond.

Instructional Network for School Improvement (INSI)

The Instructional Network for School Improvement (INSI) envisions a system where 100% of students end ninth grade ready for college-level mathematics. By June 2025, INSI aims to double the number of students ending 9th grade college ready in mathematics, with disproportionate success where demanded. Participating school teams use continuous improvement methods to increase students sense of belonging and progress in Algebra I, working as a network to achieve our shared aim.

The Science of Reading and Writing

The Science of Reading and Writing series draws on current cognitive science to offer an instructional approach to the reciprocal processes of reading and writing. This program is open to all secondary disciplines and grade-levels, and it has the ability to support educators looking for tangible steps to translate literacy research into practice. The second part of the series divides participants into content areas in order to address discipline specific literacy support.

Instructional Leadership for Curriculum Coherence (ILCC)

The year-long Instructional Leadership for Curriculum Coherence (ILCC) professional learning series will support teacher leaders such as department chairs, grade team leaders or instructional leads with developing the skills to effectively lead adult learning through meetings and professional development to enact their instructional vision.

Supporting Curriculum Adoption with School Libraries

The Supporting Curriculum Adoption with School Libraries pilot project will develop two models of library-classroom collaboration. Both models will guide curriculum adoption teams in utilizing library resources to support deeper learning at each student’s zone of proximal development.
