Program areas at New Visions for Public Schools

School support works with 1,580 Schools in all the boroughs of New york city, serving over 835,000 students as of june 30, 2023. In addition to functioning as a charter management, organization (cmo) for its ten charter high Schools, the organization supports Schools through its affinity group and citywide partnerships with the nycdoe. New Visions provides direct one-to-one support to its charter and affinity Schools through two core strategies, continuous improvement coaching (cic) and strategic data check-ins (sdcs). The organization also makes leadership, special education, and multilingual learner support available to its charter Schools and affinity network, and provides additional support on compliance and literacy interventions for its charter Schools. Additionally, the organization works with multiple subgroups of Schools in its affinity and charter networks on grant-funded activities, including the college readiness network for school improvement, which focuses on establishing models for one-to-one check-ins between students and educators to help keep students on track during ninth grade; and multiple efforts to support postsecondary advising and success, including the postsecondary advising model that develops strategies for consistent, high-quality postsecondary advising, and the college access and action network, which develops the capacity of counselors to support students' college and career readiness.
The curriculum & instruction (c&i) department supports the growth of teachers, administrators, counselors, and librarians at various stages throughout their careers. New Visions is committed to providing teachers, counselors, and librarians with the tools and skills necessary to do their jobs as effectively as possible. The c&i department focuses on supporting in-service teachers to develop their content and pedagogical knowledge, primarily by developing or identifying high-quality instructional materials and providing aligned professional learning opportunities. The instructional network for school improvement, launched in the school year 2021-22, supports a network of nycdoe high Schools to adopt and effectively use a common curriculum and instructional approach for 9th-grade algebra. The organization also supports school librarians through the astor campus librarian network (cln) program.
Systems and data analytics (sysdaar) builds school management tools that provide actionable information and insights that help school staff make plans for student success, track the implementation of those plans, and provide targeted support when students need it. The organization works to empower those closest to students - especially principals, teachers, and counselors - to be data-driven decision-makers and powerful actors in improving student outcomes. The organization additionally works with the nycdoe to develop district-level tools that help central office staff, superintendents, and other key leaders within the district understand patterns of performance in Schools they oversee and provide support where needed.
Policy, research, and innovation - New Visions is committed to developing New strategies, ideas, and solutions for the challenges facing educators and students. New Visions is dedicated to scaling our results and findings on both a local level and a national level. Our small school design progress was adopted by the nyc doe to create hundreds of small Schools. Our inquiry methodology developed and piloted by New Visions. Is now used in every Public school throughout the city and has national reach in other cities.
