About Us

background image


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).
