Everything about New Visions For Public Schools totally explained

New Visions for Public Schools, located in the Greenwich Village area of New York City, is a private group which is concerned with reforming New York City's public schools, specifically by improving the quality of education that students receive, and through implementing various programs which encourage teaching and learning in schools, according to the groups' mission statement on their website 'Our Mission'. According to New Visions, their mission is to improve "...the quality of education children receive in New York City's public schools. Working with the public and private sectors, New Visions develops programs and policies to energize teaching and learning and to raise the level of student achievement. (External Link)". The group works with both the public and private sectors for fundraising and charity work. According to 'Charity Navigator: your guide to intelligent giving,' New Visions has four out of five stars for an 'overall rating,' which means around 63 points. (External Link)

Examples of Participation

New Visions for Public Schools has worked on several projects, mostly successful. These include:
  • Radically redesigning more than 30 public schools throughout the five boroughs(External Link).
  • Starting the New Century High Schools Initiative (NCHSI), which seeks to turn around failing high schools by including communities into smaller, innovative centers (External Link). 83 new public high schools have been crafted out of concept, since only 2002. The program is also crucial to the present New York City Department of Education's turnaround of the city's high schools.
  • In support of the management of these new schools, New Visions has also made a "4-year Leadership Continuum" for principals, according to their website. Principals also receive advice on management of their schools after they're several years into operation. Faculty members of such schools are supported as well.
