PARTNERSHIPS ARE THE CORE
For 37 years, New Visions has worked alongside educators to design and implement solutions to some of the thorniest problems impeding student and educator success. We listen closely to educators’ challenges, so we can strengthen and streamline their work and allow them to focus on what they do best: teaching and leading. Our partnerships mean that we hear authentic feedback and directly observe our impact so we can design programs and tools that work for real educators at a citywide scale. The 71 schools in our New Visions Affinity Network, serving over 36,000 students across all five boroughs, are our closest partners. We provide them with responsive coaching, engage their staff in professional learning, and open up opportunities for their students that lead to higher rates of on-time graduation, college enrollment, and college persistence. Our deep work side-by-side with teachers, counselors, school leaders, and district leaders is a catalyst for improvement across the entire city. Together with our partners, we develop innovations that deepen citywide initiatives, build school capacity, and often go on to benefit the whole public school system.
What does it look like to achieve these outcomes through deep partnership? It looks like
490 schools choosing to engage in our professional learning and coaching, investing their time with us because they know our curricular materials and workshops are rigorous, relevant, and aligned to their needs; 98% of schools across the largest school district in the country using the Portal by New Visions (despite the lack of a district mandate) because they know the Portal helps them to ensure that more students get the support they need to graduate on time and achieve their postsecondary goals;
Over 600 students spending their summer building skills and dreams for their futures through our Career Academies because they know this experience is worth their time and will expand their horizons.
We are proud to partner with the New York City Public Schools leadership, our city agency colleagues, corporate partners, foundations, and generous individual donors to deliver results for NYC families. This Annual Impact Report is a testament to the power of those relationships. Simply put, we couldn’t do this work without you.
Thank you for your partnership.
