New Report: Computer Science in New York City: An Early Look at Teacher Training Opportunities and the Landscape of CS Implementation in Schools
The Research Alliance for New York City Schools, in partnership with Education Development Center (EDC), is conducting a multi-year evaluation of the New York City Department of Education’s CS4All initiative. Our new report, Computer Science in New York City: An Early Look at Teacher Training Opportunities and the Landscape of CS Implementation in Schools presents findings from the first year of our evaluation. The report includes a summary of CS4All’s key goals and strategies; a broad look at CS education and training in the City (including programs that are the result of CS4All’s first two years of implementation, as well as preexisting efforts); an exploration of teachers’ responses to CS4All PD; and considerations for the ongoing development of the initiative. |

New Spotlight: How Have the Rates at Which Students Are Graduating in Four Years, Dropping Out, or “Persisting” in NYC High Schools Changed Over Time?While some students who do not graduate on time drop out permanently, there is another, larger group of students who remain enrolled (or reenroll after leaving school temporarily) and continue working toward their high school diploma. This new Spotlight post explores how rates of on-time graduation, dropping out in the first four years, or “persisting” into a fifth or sixth year of high school have changed over time. The post sets the stage for a much more in-depth examination of persisting students’ experiences and outcomes, which will be released at our June 7 event.
