The School of Education has formed a partnership
with The Business Council of New York State and
the New York State Education Department to create
an affiliate of the national Just for the Kids project. Just for the Kids provides free Web-based charts and graphs
that enable schools to see how they are doing compared
with other, similar schools. In addition, it gives specific details about “best practices”
in higher-performing schools as opposed to average
performers, including case studies of a sample of
high performers (more history).
