The Latest From EdTrust-New York
EdTrust-New York Statement on Preliminary 2023-24 Statewide Assessment Results
We commend NYSED for releasing this important data before the school year begins to help inform instruction and provide information to parents. Last year, there was no public release of statewide assessment data until December. However, the newly released data is insufficient—it lacks disaggregation by student subgroups, does not detail district and school outcomes, and does not specify when and how parents will be receiving this information.
EdTrust-New York calls for changes that further promote equity in the Foundation Aid formula
At EdTrust-New York, we believe the current formula does not accurately reflect the needs of today’s students and any improvements must be student- and equity-centered.
EdTrust-New York Statement on Middle School Math Investments
The decision to adopt Illustrative Mathematics across eight districts and provide centrally-funded professional learning demonstrates a clear commitment to enhancing math instruction for students and educators. This investment is poised to equip students with the foundational skills they need to succeed in higher-level mathematics and beyond.
