The Framework for Great Schools is a fundamental change
to the way the Department of Education will partner with our
schools.
The Framework for Great Schools will – - Allow the district to develop a holistic, research-based approach to
school support and accountability that recognizes and celebrates
what schools do every day. Our approach will honor the fact that
students are more than just a test score.
- Provide tailored support to schools and foster professional learning
communities.
- Hold schools and the school system accountable for the shared goal
of building capacity to drive student achievement.
- Replace the spirit of competition with one of collaboration and
establish a common language for improvement.
- Bring together the strengths of schools and their communities to
support students throughout the school day and beyond.
- Advance educational attainment by preparing every New York City
public school graduate to compete in the 21st
-century workplace.
