  1. Office of New Schools New Schools Initiative: March 2007

  2. New Schools Initiative: In the Context of Children First New School Initiative within DOE New Schools • Increased choice and engagement for students and parents • Power to challenge the sacred cows and status quo • Creation and Incubation of Empowerment Initiative • School starting with blank slate, rather than with issues of incumbent schools (new culture, new hires, etc) • Financial and professional resources needed for start-up • Protected from the most irrational influences of the system, both by exemption and through wider policy changes Empowerment Accountability • School structure reinforcing adult-student and student-student accountability (distributed leadership models, non-departmental structure) • Expectation of high academic performance (80-92), for all students (L1/2, SPED and ELL) • Monitoring of DOE policies, implications for our “investment”, and mandate to advocate changed policies Leadership • Critical mass of school leaders for whom “bureaucratic” service and explanations is not sufficient • Outside-In Leadership Strategy: involving partners and community groups in management of schools • Giving new, entrepreneurial leadership outlet in the Department • Involvement of CBO partners and other socially connected organizations in lives of students, adding social capital

  3. Children First Goal: Create new, effective small secondary schools, to provide effective educational opportunities to students traditionally underserved by the system New Small Schools Initiative: Overview • Provide new, high quality educational options for all students, particularly the traditionally underserved • Attract new resources to public schools – intellectual, human, social, and financial capital • Promote healthy competition by creating a diverse portfolio of “existence proofs” – new schools that succeed where others have not • Fuel innovation and drive catalytic impact • Provide opportunities that attract and develop new leadership talent • Objectives: • Develop and open new schools that share 3 common elements: • (1) academic rigor • (2) personalization (3) partnerships with non-profit, educational, and community organizations • Core Strategy: • Small School basics: • 3-4 Sections on a grade • Growing one or two grades at a time • Often, but not always, including an academic theme

  4. The Rationale for Reform The four-year graduation rate for the Class of 2002 was 35% at phase out schools, well below the citywide average of 51%. 4 Year Graduation Rate (Class of 2002) NYC: 51% 4 Year Graduation Rate Avg.: 35% Phase-Out High Schools Source: “The Class of 2002 4-year Longitudinal Report” available on www.schools.nyc.gov/daa

  5. Preliminary Graduation Rates at New Schools Preliminary data show that the first 15 new schools to have a graduating class had an average graduation rate of 78%. 4 Year Graduation Rate (Class of 2006) Avg.: 78% Note: 2006 Graduation Rates are Preliminary

  6. Preliminary Graduation Rates at New Schools • Of the 15 new schools that had their first graduating class in 2006, 12 reside on campuses of phasing-out high schools. • Preliminary data show that those 12 schools had an average graduation rate of 73% in 2006. • The high schools they replaced had an average graduation rate of 39% in 2002. 4 Year Graduation Rate Ave: 73% Ave: 39% Source: “The Class of 2002 4-year Longitudinal Report” available on www.schools.nyc.gov/daa 2006 graduation rates are preliminary.
