| PART III - LINE 4A | TEACHING MATTERS HAS SUPPORTED NEW YORK CITY (NYC) PUBLIC SCHOOLS SERVING PRIMARILY LOW-INCOME BLACK AND LATINX K-12 STUDENTS FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS. OUR MISSION IS TO CLOSE THE OPPORTUNITY GAP OF A RADICALLY UNEQUAL EDUCATION SYSTEM FOR UNDERSERVED AND HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED CHILDREN. WE ENVISION A NATION WHERE EVERY STUDENT HAS EQUITABLE ACCESS TO EXCELLENT TEACHING, REGARDLESS OF ZIP CODE. WE ARE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED, AND SINCE OUR FOUNDING, WE HAVE WORKED WITH OVER 1,500 SCHOOLS, 35,000 TEACHERS AND REACHED OVER 600,000 STUDENTS. THIS YEAR, ALL EDUCATORS HAD TO TRANSFORM NEARLY EVERYTHING THEY'VE KNOWN IN ORDER TO TEACH REMOTELY, AND SO DID TEACHING MATTERS. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE CHALLENGES PRESENTED BY OPERATING REMOTELY, WE WERE ABLE TO DIRECTLY COACH 1,651 EDUCATORS IN 129 SCHOOLS, REACHING 55,539 STUDENTS ACROSS ALL PROGRAM AREAS WHICH INCLUDE: EARLY READING MATTERS (ERM): TEACHING MATTERS' BLUEPRINT FOR DEEPENED TEACHER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING IN THE HIGH-IMPACT AREA OF EARLY READING. ERM PROVIDES COACHING FOR TEACHERS OF LITERACY K-2ND TO SUPPORT IMPROVEMENTS IN PEDAGOGY, CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT, DATA ANALYSIS, AND PROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION BASED ON THE UNIQUE CONTEXT AND NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL. IT HAS BOTH REMOTE AND ON-SITE COMPONENTS, AND IS PARTICULARLY WELL-SUITED TO THE NEEDS OF SCHOOLS, TEACHERS, AND STUDENTS IN THE COVID-IMPACTED ENVIRONMENT. NETWORK OF SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT: OUR NETWORK CONNECTS 16 MIDDLE SCHOOLS ACROSS NYC DISTRICTS, WITH THE OVERALL GOAL OF INCREASING THE PERCENTAGE OF BLACK, LATINX, AND LOW-INCOME STUDENTS WHO ARE ON-TRACK BY THE END OF MIDDLE SCHOOL (8TH GRADE) TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL AND BE ACADEMICALLY PREPARED FOR COLLEGE. THIS GATES FOUNDATION, FIVE-YEAR, GRANT ALLOWS US TO FOCUS ON CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE LITERACY PRACTICES IN SCHOOLS WITH A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT APPROACH TO LEARNING. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A COMPARATIVE EVALUATION STUDY MANAGED BY THE GATES FOUNDATION, TESTING THE EFFICACY OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PRACTICES IN IMPROVING OUTCOMES FOR BLACK, LATINX, AND LOW-INCOME STUDENTS. ELEVATING VOICES: BRINGS STUDENTS TOGETHER THROUGH BOOKS WRITTEN BY AUTHORS OF COLOR TO SPOTLIGHT THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF CHILDREN OF COLOR. BOTH THE TEACHER AND STUDENT-FACING CONTENT ARE MEANT TO "ELEVATE" THE VOICES OF HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED PEOPLE TO MAKE THEIR EXPERIENCES VISIBLE AND THEIR VOICES HEARD THROUGH VARIOUS READINGS AND ACTIVITIES. THE CONTENT SPANS FROM ELEMENTARY TO SECONDARY LEVELS AND IS INTENDED TO FOSTER ENGAGING REMOTE INSTRUCTION AND SUPPORT TEACHERS WITH BLENDED TEACHING. ELEVATING VOICES ADDRESSES SOCIAL ISSUES OF RACE AND RACISM AND ENCOURAGES TEACHERS TO BUILD SOCIAL JUSTICE-ORIENTED ACTION INTO THEIR INSTRUCTION. IT IS STRUCTURED TO HELP TEACHERS HAVE DIFFICULT RACE CONVERSATIONS AND USE PROTOCOLS THAT ARE BOTH CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE AND FOSTER ANTI-RACIST EDUCATION. @SCHOOLANYTIME: CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING FOR THE BLENDED CLASSROOM: A VIRTUAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM THAT PROVIDES SCHOOL LEADERS, COACHES, AND TEACHER LEADERS DIGITAL ASSETS SUCH AS ONLINE MINI-COURSES, STUDENT-FACING MATERIALS, PD VIDEOS, WEBINARS AND TOOLS/RESOURCES FOR SUPPORTING TEACHERS TO IMPLEMENT CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE INSTRUCTION. THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FUND FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND NYC DOE, 15 SCHOOL-BASED SITES WILL UTILIZE @SCHOOLANTYIME AS THEIR PD PLATFORM FOR APPROXIMATELY 300 TEACHERS. TEACHER LEADERS WILL ALSO RECEIVE ONE-ON-ONE COACHING FROM A TEACHING MATTERS CONSULTANT TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF SCHOOL-BASED LEADERSHIP TO FACILITATE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR TEACHERS BASED ON CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE PRACTICES. LITERACY MATTERS, MATH MATTERS AND WRITING MATTERS FOCUS ON CONTENT-BASED COACHING THAT CAN BE DIRECTLY APPLIED TO THE CLASSROOM. THESE SERVICES ADVANCE K-12 MATH AND LITERACY TEACHER INSTRUCTION AS WELL AS STUDENT PERFORMANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH COMMON CORE STANDARDS. |
