New York Schools Announce 228 High Schools in Need of Improvement
by: Patricia Hawke
Three New York schools within their third year of restructuring and one in year seven of SRAP face possible closing or phasing out, if they do not improve during this school year.
The New York schools require different actions for schools identified at the different levels of needing improvement. The worse the school`s AYP score and the longer it has been on the New York schols list, the more that is required to be implemented at the school in order to improve student academic achievement. Actions range from parental school choice, to strengthening core academic subjects, to providing high quality professional development for teachers, to teacher mentoring programs, to implementing new curriculum, and so on. The New York schools could even bring in outside experts to assist New York schools principals in raising their AYP scores or restructure the entire school`s internal organization.
