Terrence Stephen, Jr. is no stranger to high expecta-

dream of becoming a derma-tologist and helping people like his younger sister, who suffers from eczema, Terrence has his eye on top colleges — Harvard, Columbia or Howard — and takes advantage of every opportunity that will strengthen his candidacy. “Colleges like if
you’re smart and love if you’re smart and involved,” he says. And involved he is: peer media-tion, band, step, Young Men’s Leadership Group. Under the leadership of principal Reggie Richardson, Performing Arts and Technology High School (PATHS) has gained
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.”

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.”

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.

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,

Innovation (i3) grant to imple-

provides intensive support to
keep students on the college
track, including extended learn-
ing time, strict benchmarks and

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.

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,

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.

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’
instruction in algebra and
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.
