Blueprint for Advancing Equity in NYC Schools: Priorities for the Next Administration

The Research Alliance’s new policy brief, Blueprint for Advancing Equity in NYC Schools, outlines research-backed recommendations for how City and District leaders can take a more demanding approach to advancing equity, while sustaining progress that has been made during the last 20 years. These include recommendations for building a robust system of education equity indicators—focused on opportunities and resources, not just outcomes—and making the information public; disproportionately investing in schools and communities with the highest levels of need; providing intensive, individualized support for the most vulnerable students; leveraging—and using research to refine—innovations from the last year; and linking reforms in education to reforms in other systems and agencies across City government.

Research Alliance Co-Sponsors Forum on Reimagining the Role of Schools in Society

As we struggle with the impacts of a global pandemic and ongoing racial injustice, how do we make this moment an opportunity to re-envision the role of schools in U.S. society? How do we enact this fresh vision in the 2021 - 2022 school year and beyond?

We are co-sponsoring the May 26 “Reimagining the Role of Schools in Society” forum, aimed at challenging the pre-pandemic status quo and identifying ways for schools to "build back better" in the areas of mental health, teaching and learning, and racial and social justice.

This conversation will feature research and practice ideas from a new generation of education scholars at NYU Steinhardt, and a moderated discussion and Q&A from a panel of seasoned education leaders.
