recognition for its success in graduating black and Latino men, a group particularly at risk when it comes to college and career read-iness. The school works with key partners — including parents, the city and New Visions — to keep students on track for college. Terrence’s father (pictured below)

sees this firsthand, not only as a PTA-involved parent but also as a college advisor who connects students to such resources as scholarship information, SAT preparation and financial aid forms. “PATHS students jump at it,” he says. “It’s really a culture of excellence.”

“The program allows you to just do it — to fail and succeed with someone there to help you through it,” Georganne says. Matthew quickly adds: “And to even know that failure or success is happening. My most valuable resource as a first-year teacher is that I’ve had a full year of experi-ence with someone there to help me process it.”

In 2011, New Visions selected Telecommunication to pilot a new hub for teacher learning, the “teaching hospital.” Phil Weinberg praises the pipeline of teacher-leaders coming his way: “The quality of your teacher matters for the rest of your life. We are training new teachers to hit the ground running.”

“The program allows you to just do it — to fail and succeed with someone there to help you through it,” Georganne says. Matthew quickly adds: “And to even know that failure or success is happening. My most valuable resource as a first-year teacher is that I’ve had a full year of experi-ence with someone there to help me process it.”

In 2011, New Visions selected Telecommunication to pilot a new hub for teacher learning, the “teaching hospital.” Phil Weinberg praises the pipeline of teacher-leaders coming his way: “The quality of your teacher matters for the rest of your life. We are training new teachers to hit the ground running.”

Dear Friend,

How do we prepare all stu-

dents, regardless of ethnicity,

family income or immigrant

status, to move forward in a

constantly changing world?

How do we foster the skills

they need to succeed in

college and in careers yet

to be imagined? How do

we prepare and support

educators for this new era?

At New Visions for Public

Schools, we know that there

are no easy answers to the

most difficult questions in

education. That’s what makes

our work so rewarding —

and so essential.

Public schools indeed

have the power to transform

a child’s life. To radically

effect positive change, we

must look at schools as a set

of systems, encompassing

instruction, leadership and

human capital.

Across these systems, New

Visions is helping our schools

incorporate the next genera-

tion of academic standards,

the Common Core, into their

classrooms. Working with our

district school colleagues,

we are launching a network

of charter high schools that

challenge students with a proj-

ect-based curriculum, involving

tasks and assignments that

are relevant to their lives, their

communities and their future.

We are pioneering the use

of data to drive instruction,

offering our schools powerful

tools that give leaders unprec-

edented access to real-time

information on student perfor-

mance. We are working with

our partners — the district and

the union — to pilot innovative

evaluation models that pro-

vide teachers and school

leaders with clear standards

and actionable feedback.

And, working with Hunter

College and others, we are

building a new model of

teacher and school leader

hiring and induction, one that

pivots from an individual to

a team approach.

Most important, we are

seeing results. Preliminary

evaluations of our teacher

residency program demon-

strate the achievement gains

made by the students taught

by our residents. These

students significantly out-

performed their classmates

on the Regents Compre-

hensive English and Living

Environment exams.

Further evaluation by

MDRC and commissioned

by the Bill & Melinda Gates

Foundation continues to vali-

date that New Visions’ efforts

to create small schools have

produced historic gains for

some of New York City’s

highest-need schools. We

recognize that there is still

much work to be done

to improve performance,

especially for students who

enter high school with low

math and reading proficiency.

But with continued innova-

tion and refinement of our

strategies, we know we can

succeed for more students.

Thanks to our commit-

ted supporters, New Visions

schools are advancing

today’s best practices to

deliver tomorrow’s promise.

With your continued sup-

port, we will press ahead and

work to help more students

gain the skills they need to

transform their lives, their

communities and this city.

Thank you for partnering with

us as we move forward.

within the city’s public schools,

driving significant achievement

gains for tens of thousands of

students. We provide educa-

tors with the tools and training

they need to analyze student

performance, diagnose prob-

lems and design solutions to

improve instruction. We partner

with teachers and school lead-

ers, parents and community

organizations to provide ambi-

design curricula that are relevant

to students’ lives and aligned to

college and job skills. And we

freely share best practices and

lessons learned, to enable others

in New York City and across the

nation to raise student achieve-

ment in schools at scale.

Because we believe answers

to improving urban education

come in multiple forms, New

Visions supports a network of

public district schools and also

operates an emerging network

of charter high schools in under-

resourced neighborhoods of New

York City. We serve a student

population that equals the size of

the Seattle school system.

While maintaining our core

values, we constantly evolve to

meet urgent and emerging needs.

We do this by:

• supportingdistrictschools

through intensive coaching and

next-generation instructional

models;

• innovatingaroundcurriculum,

pedagogy and practice in our

charter high schools; and

• developingthehumancapacity

of our teachers, principals and

school staff.

Advancing Ambitious Instruction

In 2011, New York adopted the

Common Core State Standards,

a national effort to raise the bar

and strengthen instruction so that

students can succeed in college

and beyond. The evidence-based

district schools to improve the

rigor of instruction. Although

high school graduation rates

in New York City have risen in

recent years, far too many high

school graduates require reme-

diation upon enrolling in college.

Research shows that these

students have a diminished likeli-

hood of completing their studies.

New Visions recognizes the need

to strengthen the high school

diploma to align it with career

and college preparation for the

21st century.

New Visions is working with

nearly two dozen schools to pilot

new initiatives in literacy and

math instruction. For the literacy

project, New Visions is working

with teachers to reconceptualize

and reviewing writing assign-

ments, ensuring that students

master the range of writing

skills they need to communi-

cate effectively in college and

beyond. Students are expected

to practice daily, developing

questions for inquiry, engaging

in research, producing materials,

and presenting and defending

their work. Instruction is person-

alized, and intervention takes

place early and often. As with

our district schools, New Visions

Teaching-hospital schools will

help develop a pipeline of highly

trained professionals, extend

the inquiry-based and data-

driven practices of the residency

model across grade-level and

content-area teams, and, we

believe, create a successful

and replicable model of whole-

school reform.

Program graduate and first-

year teacher Matthew Adelizzi

brings the fruits of his ongoing

learning into the classroom to

encourage students to think for

themselves — a skill they will

need to move forward in college,

career and life. “I learn every day

that it’s not about how brilliant

my ideas are,” he says. “When

the kids come up with the brilliant

ideas — that’s success.”

instruction around writing. For

example, teachers have tradi-

tionally taught argumentative

writing in the context of English

language arts. We’re working to

expand this practice to multiple

subjects, such as social studies,

science and math. To succeed at

college-level reading and writing,

students must be exposed to

complex nonfiction texts in

addition to fiction and literature.

New Visions was awarded

that serve as an anchor for

students and teachers across

and grading policies are tied

Moving Forward

As one of the few organizations

to bridge the divide between

public district and charter high

schools, New Visions offers a

new model for cooperation and

collaboration to improve student

achievement. We are rethink-

ing how to transform struggling

schools — driving forward a

team-based approach in which

teachers, teacher-leaders and

principals incubate best prac-

tices in a high-need school to

help transform it into a place

where all students can succeed.

And we are strengthening com-

munity investment in schools.

New Visions charter schools

are designed to work with the

neighborhoods where they are

located so that they become

community assets, preparing

students to succeed, thrive and

give back as productive citizens

and change-agents. Char-

ter school 9th-grader Guirny

Occean plans to give back to

his community as a lawyer fight-

ing for justice. “Maybe society

can never be 100 percent equal,”

he says. “But I’ll do my best to

make it so.”

standards emphasize devel-

opment of higher-order skills,

literacy and integrated learning

across subject areas.

Teachers must change how

they teach in their classrooms,

evaluate student work and

communicate with parents. The

Common Core asks teachers

to engage in tougher assess-

ments of student learning, more

writing across disciplines, math-

ematics that leads to abstract

thinking and problem solving,

and cross-disciplinary classes

that avoid siloing content in one

area. In our district schools, we

are piloting new strategies for

helping teachers rethink how

they teach literacy and math.

In our charter schools, we

are building these standards

into the very organization of

the schools. In our pioneering

teacher-residency program, we

are developing a new genera-

tion of teachers fully immersed

in the Common Core from the

start of their careers.

Through District Schools

New Visions encourages and

supports teams of teachers in

developing instruction, evaluat-

ing the impact of their efforts

and modifying teaching prac-

tices based on their assessment

of student growth. We believe

that this practice, teacher-

led inquiry, is the best way to

translate higher standards into

classrooms and departments

and across schools. At Hillcrest

High School, for instance, teach-

ers come together every day to

share and advance best prac-

tices. “Historically, teachers have

been trained to follow the cur-

riculum, not to look at student

outcomes as a factor in design-

ing subsequent lessons,” says

principal Steve Duch. “But that

kind of rethinking is what we’re

pushing them to do. Our goal

is to have teachers think of the

three top-performing students in

each class and the three most-

struggling students, then look

at how they can differentiate the

lessons to support both.”

New Visions works with

teacher teams across our

well-designed student assess-

ments. Through a teacher-inquiry

process developed by New

Visions, teachers will work col-

laboratively to design instruction

that leads students to a deeper

understanding of the how and

why of mathematics — and to

refine that instruction through

rigorous assessment.

Through Charter

School Development

Distilling the lessons learned

from our work with district

public schools, New Visions

founded its first two charter high

schools as labs to define new

practices that can advance all

students. As a charter manage-

ment organization, New Visions

has full management authority

over its charter high schools and

is free to innovate.

Our model is based on the

notion that to prepare students

to succeed in the global mar-

ketplace, schools must shift the

dynamic from one where stu-

dents receive information to one

where they find solutions using

their imagination coupled with

their mastery of content and

skills. New Visions developed

its charter school curriculum

with this goal in mind — a goal

that aligns propitiously with the

Common Core.

Writing is the capstone skill

in our charter schools. Every

teacher, in every grade, shares

in the responsibility of assigning

to the Common Core and are

implemented transparently and

consistently. “I’m a big believer

in consistency of expectations,”

says principal Seth Lewis Levin.

“We deliver those expectations

over and over again, in several

different ways, so the kids can

articulate for themselves what’s

expected of them.”

Preparing the 21st-Century

Teaching Workforce

Nearly 33 percent of New York

City teachers leave the profes-

sion before completing their

third year — most citing a lack

of support and inadequate

preparation for the challenges

they face. To confront this urgent

need for well-prepared, skilled

teachers, New Visions in part-

nership with Hunter College has

created the Urban Teacher Resi-

dency. Linking extensive clinical

experience in the classroom with

content-rich professional devel-

opment, the residency prepares

a new generation of teachers

to assess and elevate student

achievement.

In 2011, we expanded the

program’s capacity by piloting a

“teaching hospital” site, mod-

eled on the immersive clinical

education of our nation’s doc-

tors. Our teaching-hospital

school commits to hiring a

critical mass of Urban Teacher

Residents, under the super-

vision of a veteran teacher

working as a site director.

Advancing Ambitious Instruction

In 2011, New York adopted the

Common Core State Standards,

a national effort to raise the bar

and strengthen instruction so that

students can succeed in college

and beyond. The evidence-based

district schools to improve the

rigor of instruction. Although

high school graduation rates

in New York City have risen in

recent years, far too many high

school graduates require reme-

diation upon enrolling in college.

Research shows that these

students have a diminished likeli-

hood of completing their studies.

New Visions recognizes the need

to strengthen the high school

diploma to align it with career

and college preparation for the

21st century.

New Visions is working with

nearly two dozen schools to pilot

new initiatives in literacy and

math instruction. For the literacy

project, New Visions is working

with teachers to reconceptualize

and reviewing writing assign-

ments, ensuring that students

master the range of writing

skills they need to communi-

cate effectively in college and

beyond. Students are expected

to practice daily, developing

questions for inquiry, engaging

in research, producing materials,

and presenting and defending

their work. Instruction is person-

alized, and intervention takes

place early and often. As with

our district schools, New Visions

Teaching-hospital schools will

help develop a pipeline of highly

trained professionals, extend

the inquiry-based and data-

driven practices of the residency

model across grade-level and

content-area teams, and, we

believe, create a successful

and replicable model of whole-

school reform.

Program graduate and first-

year teacher Matthew Adelizzi

brings the fruits of his ongoing

learning into the classroom to

encourage students to think for

themselves — a skill they will

need to move forward in college,

career and life. “I learn every day

that it’s not about how brilliant

my ideas are,” he says. “When

the kids come up with the brilliant

ideas — that’s success.”

instruction around writing. For

example, teachers have tradi-

tionally taught argumentative

writing in the context of English

language arts. We’re working to

expand this practice to multiple

subjects, such as social studies,

science and math. To succeed at

college-level reading and writing,

students must be exposed to

complex nonfiction texts in

addition to fiction and literature.

Moving Forward

As one of the few organizations

to bridge the divide between

public district and charter high

schools, New Visions offers a

new model for cooperation and

collaboration to improve student

achievement. We are rethink-

ing how to transform struggling

schools — driving forward a

team-based approach in which

teachers, teacher-leaders and

principals incubate best prac-

tices in a high-need school to

help transform it into a place

where all students can succeed.

And we are strengthening com-

munity investment in schools.

New Visions charter schools

are designed to work with the

neighborhoods where they are

located so that they become

community assets, preparing

students to succeed, thrive and

give back as productive citizens

and change-agents. Char-

ter school 9th-grader Guirny

his community as a lawyer fight-

ing for justice. “Maybe society

can never be 100 percent equal,”

he says. “But I’ll do my best to

make it so.”

standards emphasize devel-

opment of higher-order skills,

literacy and integrated learning

across subject areas.

Teachers must change how

they teach in their classrooms,

evaluate student work and

communicate with parents. The

Common Core asks teachers

to engage in tougher assess-

ments of student learning, more

writing across disciplines, math-

ematics that leads to abstract

thinking and problem solving,

and cross-disciplinary classes

that avoid siloing content in one

area. In our district schools, we

are piloting new strategies for

helping teachers rethink how

they teach literacy and math.

In our charter schools, we

are building these standards

into the very organization of

the schools. In our pioneering

teacher-residency program, we

are developing a new genera-

tion of teachers fully immersed

in the Common Core from the

start of their careers.

Through District Schools

New Visions encourages and

supports teams of teachers in

developing instruction, evaluat-

ing the impact of their efforts

and modifying teaching prac-

tices based on their assessment

of student growth. We believe

that this practice, teacher-

led inquiry, is the best way to

translate higher standards into

classrooms and departments

and across schools. At Hillcrest

High School, for instance, teach-

ers come together every day to

share and advance best prac-

tices. “Historically, teachers have

been trained to follow the cur-

riculum, not to look at student

outcomes as a factor in design-

ing subsequent lessons,” says

principal Steve Duch. “But that

kind of rethinking is what we’re

pushing them to do. Our goal

is to have teachers think of the

three top-performing students in

each class and the three most-

struggling students, then look

at how they can differentiate the

lessons to support both.”

New Visions works with

teacher teams across our

well-designed student assess-

ments. Through a teacher-inquiry

process developed by New

Visions, teachers will work col-

laboratively to design instruction

that leads students to a deeper

understanding of the how and

why of mathematics — and to

refine that instruction through

rigorous assessment.

Through Charter

School Development

Distilling the lessons learned

from our work with district

public schools, New Visions

founded its first two charter high

schools as labs to define new

practices that can advance all

students. As a charter manage-

ment organization, New Visions

has full management authority

over its charter high schools and

is free to innovate.

Our model is based on the

notion that to prepare students

to succeed in the global mar-

ketplace, schools must shift the

dynamic from one where stu-

dents receive information to one

where they find solutions using

their imagination coupled with

their mastery of content and

skills. New Visions developed

its charter school curriculum

with this goal in mind — a goal

that aligns propitiously with the

Common Core.

Writing is the capstone skill

in our charter schools. Every

teacher, in every grade, shares

in the responsibility of assigning

to the Common Core and are

implemented transparently and

consistently. “I’m a big believer

in consistency of expectations,”

says principal Seth Lewis Levin.

“We deliver those expectations

over and over again, in several

different ways, so the kids can

articulate for themselves what’s

expected of them.”

Preparing the 21st-Century

Teaching Workforce

Nearly 33 percent of New York

City teachers leave the profes-

sion before completing their

third year — most citing a lack

of support and inadequate

preparation for the challenges

they face. To confront this urgent

need for well-prepared, skilled

teachers, New Visions in part-

nership with Hunter College has

created the Urban Teacher Resi-

dency. Linking extensive clinical

experience in the classroom with

content-rich professional devel-

opment, the residency prepares

a new generation of teachers

to assess and elevate student

achievement.

In 2011, we expanded the

program’s capacity by piloting a

“teaching hospital” site, mod-

eled on the immersive clinical

education of our nation’s doc-

tors. Our teaching-hospital

school commits to hiring a

critical mass of Urban Teacher

Residents, under the super-

vision of a veteran teacher

working as a site director.

New Visions for Public Schools

designs, creates and sustains

great schools for New York City’s

highest-need students. Since

1989, New Visions has served

as a laboratory of innovation

within the city’s public schools,

driving significant achievement

gains for tens of thousands of

students. We provide educa-

tors with the tools and training

they need to analyze student

performance, diagnose prob-

lems and design solutions to

improve instruction. We partner

with teachers and school lead-

ers, parents and community

organizations to provide ambi-

tious, rigorous instruction and to

design curricula that are relevant

to students’ lives and aligned to

college and job skills. And we

freely share best practices and

lessons learned, to enable others

in New York City and across the

nation to raise student achieve-

ment in schools at scale.

Because we believe answers

to improving urban education

come in multiple forms, New

Visions supports a network of

public district schools and also

operates an emerging network

of charter high schools in under-

resourced neighborhoods of New

York City. We serve a student

population that equals the size of

the Seattle school system.

While maintaining our core

values, we constantly evolve to

meet urgent and emerging needs.

We do this by:

• supportingdistrictschools

through intensive coaching and

next-generation instructional

models;

• innovatingaroundcurriculum,

pedagogy and practice in our

charter high schools; and

• developingthehumancapacity

of our teachers, principals and

school staff.

New Visions for Public Schools

designs, creates and sustains

great schools for New York City’s

highest-need students. Since

1989, New Visions has served

as a laboratory of innovation

within the city’s public schools,

driving significant achievement

gains for tens of thousands of

students. We provide educa-

tors with the tools and training

they need to analyze student

performance, diagnose prob-

lems and design solutions to

improve instruction. We partner

with teachers and school lead-

ers, parents and community

organizations to provide ambi-

tious, rigorous instruction and to

design curricula that are relevant

to students’ lives and aligned to

college and job skills. And we

freely share best practices and

lessons learned, to enable others

in New York City and across the

nation to raise student achieve-

ment in schools at scale.

Because we believe answers

to improving urban education

come in multiple forms, New

Visions supports a network of

public district schools and also

operates an emerging network

of charter high schools in under-

resourced neighborhoods of New

York City. We serve a student

population that equals the size of

the Seattle school system.

While maintaining our core

values, we constantly evolve to

meet urgent and emerging needs.

We do this by:

• supportingdistrictschools

through intensive coaching and

next-generation instructional

models;

• innovatingaroundcurriculum,

pedagogy and practice in our

charter high schools; and

• developingthehumancapacity

of our teachers, principals and

school staff.

Advancing Ambitious Instruction

In 2011, New York adopted the

Common Core State Standards,

a national effort to raise the bar

and strengthen instruction so that

students can succeed in college

and beyond. The evidence-based

district schools to improve the

rigor of instruction. Although

high school graduation rates

in New York City have risen in

recent years, far too many high

school graduates require reme-

diation upon enrolling in college.

Research shows that these

students have a diminished likeli-

hood of completing their studies.

New Visions recognizes the need

to strengthen the high school

diploma to align it with career

and college preparation for the

21st century.

New Visions is working with

nearly two dozen schools to pilot

new initiatives in literacy and

math instruction. For the literacy

project, New Visions is working

with teachers to reconceptualize

and reviewing writing assign-

ments, ensuring that students

master the range of writing

skills they need to communi-

cate effectively in college and

beyond. Students are expected

to practice daily, developing

questions for inquiry, engaging

in research, producing materials,

and presenting and defending

their work. Instruction is person-

alized, and intervention takes

place early and often. As with

our district schools, New Visions

Teaching-hospital schools will

help develop a pipeline of highly

trained professionals, extend

the inquiry-based and data-

driven practices of the residency

model across grade-level and

content-area teams, and, we

believe, create a successful

and replicable model of whole-

school reform.

Program graduate and first-

year teacher Matthew Adelizzi

brings the fruits of his ongoing

learning into the classroom to

encourage students to think for

themselves — a skill they will

need to move forward in college,

career and life. “I learn every day

that it’s not about how brilliant

my ideas are,” he says. “When

the kids come up with the brilliant

ideas — that’s success.”

instruction around writing. For

example, teachers have tradi-

tionally taught argumentative

writing in the context of English

language arts. We’re working to

expand this practice to multiple

subjects, such as social studies,

science and math. To succeed at

college-level reading and writing,

students must be exposed to

complex nonfiction texts in

addition to fiction and literature.

New Visions was awarded

a prestigious $12.9 million,

five-year federal Investing in

Innovation (i3) grant to imple-

ment Accessing Algebra

Through Inquiry (A2I), an inno-

vation that improves teachers’

geometry through the use of

provides intensive support to

keep students on the college

track, including extended learn-

ing time, strict benchmarks and

rigorous college-level courses

in the upper grades.

To keep students engaged

in their work, New Visions

charter high schools center

on challenge-based projects

that serve as an anchor for

students and teachers across

subject matter. Assessment

and grading policies are tied

Moving Forward

As one of the few organizations

to bridge the divide between

public district and charter high

schools, New Visions offers a

new model for cooperation and

collaboration to improve student

achievement. We are rethink-

ing how to transform struggling

schools — driving forward a

team-based approach in which

teachers, teacher-leaders and

principals incubate best prac-

tices in a high-need school to

help transform it into a place

where all students can succeed.

And we are strengthening com-

munity investment in schools.

New Visions charter schools

are designed to work with the

neighborhoods where they are

located so that they become

community assets, preparing

students to succeed, thrive and

give back as productive citizens

and change-agents. Char-

ter school 9th-grader Guirny

Occean plans to give back to

his community as a lawyer fight-

ing for justice. “Maybe society

can never be 100 percent equal,”

he says. “But I’ll do my best to

make it so.”

standards emphasize devel-

opment of higher-order skills,

literacy and integrated learning

across subject areas.

Teachers must change how

they teach in their classrooms,

evaluate student work and

communicate with parents. The

Common Core asks teachers

to engage in tougher assess-

ments of student learning, more

writing across disciplines, math-

ematics that leads to abstract

thinking and problem solving,

and cross-disciplinary classes

that avoid siloing content in one

area. In our district schools, we

are piloting new strategies for

helping teachers rethink how

they teach literacy and math.

In our charter schools, we

are building these standards

into the very organization of

the schools. In our pioneering

teacher-residency program, we

are developing a new genera-

tion of teachers fully immersed

in the Common Core from the

start of their careers.

Through District Schools

New Visions encourages and

supports teams of teachers in

developing instruction, evaluat-

ing the impact of their efforts

and modifying teaching prac-

tices based on their assessment

of student growth. We believe

that this practice, teacher-

led inquiry, is the best way to

translate higher standards into

classrooms and departments

and across schools. At Hillcrest

High School, for instance, teach-

ers come together every day to

share and advance best prac-

tices. “Historically, teachers have

been trained to follow the cur-

riculum, not to look at student

outcomes as a factor in design-

ing subsequent lessons,” says

principal Steve Duch. “But that

kind of rethinking is what we’re

pushing them to do. Our goal

is to have teachers think of the

three top-performing students in

each class and the three most-

struggling students, then look

at how they can differentiate the

lessons to support both.”

New Visions works with

teacher teams across our

well-designed student assess-

ments. Through a teacher-inquiry

process developed by New

Visions, teachers will work col-

laboratively to design instruction

that leads students to a deeper

understanding of the how and

why of mathematics — and to

refine that instruction through

rigorous assessment.

Through Charter

School Development

Distilling the lessons learned

from our work with district

public schools, New Visions

founded its first two charter high

schools as labs to define new

practices that can advance all

students. As a charter manage-

ment organization, New Visions

has full management authority

over its charter high schools and

is free to innovate.

Our model is based on the

notion that to prepare students

to succeed in the global mar-

ketplace, schools must shift the

dynamic from one where stu-

dents receive information to one

where they find solutions using

their imagination coupled with

their mastery of content and

skills. New Visions developed

its charter school curriculum

with this goal in mind — a goal

that aligns propitiously with the

Common Core.

Writing is the capstone skill

in our charter schools. Every

teacher, in every grade, shares

in the responsibility of assigning

to the Common Core and are

implemented transparently and

consistently. “I’m a big believer

in consistency of expectations,”

says principal Seth Lewis Levin.

“We deliver those expectations

over and over again, in several

different ways, so the kids can

articulate for themselves what’s

expected of them.”

Preparing the 21st-Century

Teaching Workforce

Nearly 33 percent of New York

City teachers leave the profes-

sion before completing their

third year — most citing a lack

of support and inadequate

preparation for the challenges

they face. To confront this urgent

need for well-prepared, skilled

teachers, New Visions in part-

nership with Hunter College has

created the Urban Teacher Resi-

dency. Linking extensive clinical

experience in the classroom with

content-rich professional devel-

opment, the residency prepares

a new generation of teachers

to assess and elevate student

achievement.

In 2011, we expanded the

program’s capacity by piloting a

“teaching hospital” site, mod-

eled on the immersive clinical

education of our nation’s doc-

tors. Our teaching-hospital school commits to hiring a

critical mass of Urban Teacher

Residents, under the super-

vision of a veteran teacher

working as a site director.
