The Latest From EdTrust-New York
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. New York City’s 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, including in Buffalo.
EdTrust-New York: New NAEP Data Reveals Crisis in New York Schools with Persistent Gaps for Black and Latinx Students
Except for fourth grade math, New York’s NAEP scores in reading and math have stagnated or declined over the past 25 years. These results make it clear that current approaches, especially in middle grades, are failing students. We cannot continue with the same strategies and expect different outcomes.
EdTrust-New York Denounces Trump Administration’s Policy on Immigration Arrests in Schools
EdTrust-New York strongly condemns the Trump administration’s decision to allow federal immigration agencies to make arrests at schools. This policy directly threatens the safety and well-being of students who are undocumented and from mixed-status families, driving many to avoid school out of fear. Schools must remain safe, welcoming, and supportive environments for all students and their families, regardless of immigration status. This policy directly undermines that core principle.
