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.

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.
