The Latest From EdTrust-New York
New York Campaign for Early Literacy Celebrates Progress and Demands Stronger State Action to Address Literacy Crisis
While last year’s progress marked a starting point, New York must follow the example of other states that have made comprehensive, multi-year investments in the science of reading, beginning with the inclusion of $26 million this year to support the Campaign’s priorities in professional learning, curriculum, and teacher preparation.
Advancing Black History in Education: Bright Spots from New York State
At the core of any curriculum is the school community — its culture, educators, and the materials that reflect the diversity of its students. A district in NYS’ adoption of this Black Studies curriculum is one example of prioritizing and advancing Black history in the classroom, and similar efforts are taking shape across the state to support educators in teaching Black history.
#MyHistoryMyFuture: Students Share Their Bold Visions for Tomorrow
Each year, we highlight students’ work and reflections on the impacts of history and its relevance to their generation through the #MyHistoryMyFuture digital campaign. The campaign encourages students to not only reflect on the past but to be proud of where they come from and take action to make their schools, communities, and the world a better place for future generations.
