The new standards have a greater focus on equity and culturally responsive practices and are more in line with the day-to-day responsibilities of the modern day principal. ""The responsibilities of principals have become increasingly complex over the last decade as a result of changing student demographics, technological advancements and new accountability requirements,"" Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said. ""In this context, principal preparation must shift as well to ensure our principals are prepared to improve outcomes for all students, no matter their racial, ethnic, cultural or economic backgrounds. With their focus on equity and culturally responsive practices, these new standards will allow us to make sure that happens in New York."" “Successful schools start with successful principals,” State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia said. “By adopting the new national standards, we will prepare our future principals and support our current ones with standards that align to the day-to-day responsibilities of the modern-day principal. While the new standards are only a first step to improving principal preparation, they are a signal of our commitment to making sure all students in all schools are led by educators who are prepared for the rigors of the job on day one.” Adoption of the 2015 PSELs is part of the State Education Department’s larger effort to improve principal development and support as part of the Principal Preparation Project.

The amendments to the superintendent determination option will be in effect for students seeking to graduate in January 2018 and thereafter. http://bit.ly/2AbEhfq To be eligible for the superintendent determination option, a student with a disability must meet certain conditions that are defined in State regulations. Prior to the adoption of the new amendments, the regulations required students to earn a minimum score of 55 on both the English language arts (ELA) and mathematics Regents examinations (or successfully appeal a score between 52 and 54) to be considered for a superintendent determination. The amended regulations now permit students who have passed their ELA and mathematics Regents-level courses, but are unable to earn a minimum score of 55 on the ELA and mathematics Regents examinations (or successfully appeal a score between 52 and 54), to seek a superintendent determination by completing the requirements of the NYS Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) Commencement Credential. For students with disabilities who use the CDOS Commencement Credential to meet this eligibility condition, the superintendent must conduct a review to determine whether the student has otherwise demonstrated proficiency in the knowledge, skills and abilities in ELA and mathematics, as well as any other subject areas in which the student was not able to demonstrate his or her proficiency of the State’s learning standards as measured by the corresponding Regents examination required for graduation. ""We know that our students with special needs students can and will meet the State's rigorous learning standards, and we're increasing the avenues by which they can demonstrate their proficiency in these standards,"" said Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa. ""As policy makers, it's our job to give all students the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to meet the State's graduation requirements. The rules we adopted today will enable many students with disabilities to graduate high school with a meaningful diploma."" “We must continue to have high expectations for all students,” said State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia. “The rules adopted today by the Board of Regents maintain the rigor of our graduation requirements, while providing a new mechanism for students with disabilities to demonstrate they’ve met the State’s graduation standards.”" Link "" "" 2017-12-11T11:05:40 2 9 82 "" 294662247217494_1927316090618760 https://www.facebook.com/NYStateEd/posts/1927316090618760 The Board of Regents today honored Linda Romano, 2018 Association for Career and Technical Education National Teacher of the Year.

The Board’s State Aid Sub-Committee is co-chaired by Regents Beverly Ouderkirk and Nan Eileen Mead. The Regents propose $1.25 billion in aid formula increases, $314 million in statutory reimbursement-based aid increases, $25 million for CTE program expansion and $20 million for UPK program expansion. In addition, the Board advanced funding proposals to increase equity for all students, implement recommendations of the Board of Regents Early Childhood Workgroup’s Blue Ribbon Committee (BRC), implement the state’s Every Student Succeeds Act plan and increase efficiencies for the State Education Department and school districts. “Over the past year, the Board and Department have taken significant steps to work toward increasing equity for all students,” Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said. “These efforts included a tremendous amount of work from developing our ESSA plan and putting forth our Next Generation Learning Standards to creating the Board of Regents Early Childhood Workgroup’s Blue Ribbon Committee and the Integration, Equity and Diversity Workgroup. Our priorities and proposals build upon this work and further our efforts to ensure every child has access to a high-quality education. These funds would provide school districts with the resources they need while laying the foundation to best support our youngest children, students in our struggling schools and English language learners while also improving outcomes for all students.” “New York’s students deserve the best education possible and our State Aid request and legislative proposals will ensure schools continue to improve and better prepare our children while also acknowledging the state’s fiscal realities,” State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia said. “Strategic investments in our earliest learners and career and technical education, and supporting our ESSA plan, will provide real benefits for students, teachers and school districts. We look forward to working with our colleagues in the Legislature and in the Executive’s office to move this agenda forward.” “Working with our colleagues, we have proposed a Foundation Aid formula to provide school districts with the additional resources needed to meet rising costs and critical initiatives,” Co-Chair of the State Aid Subcommittee Regent Beverly L. Ouderkirk said. “Our State Aid proposal continues to phase in the Foundation Aid formula and further helps districts most in need,” Co-Chair of the State Aid Subcommittee Regent Nan Eileen Mead said.

The recommendations, which total $37 million for the 2018-19 State Fiscal Year, have been thoughtfully prepared and reflect the constraints of the current fiscal climate. These recommendations will help frame the Board’s discussion in the coming weeks and months on how to improve outcomes for New York’s youngest learners and how to ensure they are ready for kindergarten and beyond. The long-term mission of the BRC’s work is to transform the birth to age eight early care and education system in the state of New York. To realize this vision, throughout the next five years a phased-in approach of the BRC’s recommended budget proposals will be advanced. The priority is to serve high-need children and reflect a coordinated effort with other state agencies and initiatives. The Committee’s recommendations seek to align and integrate work to ensure that all New York State’s children experience improved outcomes through access to services that are developmentally appropriate and responsive to culture, race, ethnicity, language, citizenship status, and socioeconomic status. More information on the recommendations can be found in our press release: http://bit.ly/2jNJfJd “Without the strong start that high-quality early childhood education provides, children who fall behind may never catch up, creating an achievement disparity that will only increase as they move through school,” Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said. “We need a clear and comprehensive strategy to ensure that all of New York’s children can begin their educational careers with the same opportunities to thrive. We thank the Committee for its work and recommendations to put us on the path for success for all our early learners.” “Children who attend high-quality early care and education programs are better prepared for kindergarten, have stronger language skills in the first years of elementary school and are less likely to repeat a grade or drop out of school,” Commissioner MaryEllen Elia said. “We have to make sure we plan within the constraints of what we know is going to be a difficult budget year, but also have to ensure our youngest students have access to programs that will put them on the road to success.” “We envision a New York where all children thrive from birth, flourish in preschool and enter the school-age program on a trajectory for success,” Workgroup Co-Chair Regent Lester W. Young said. “To achieve this, we must encourage targeted strategies and policies that support the diversity of our state’s student population.” “These initiatives will help our youngest learners get a high-quality start in education to become ready for kindergarten, stay on track to graduate from high school, and be successful in life,” Workgroup Co-Chair Regent Luis O. Reyes said. “It’s critical that we increase the availability of high-quality family and community engagement opportunities for all families with young children in New York State.” Link "" "" 2017-12-11T07:46:27 87 "" 294662247217494_1927140017303034 https://www.facebook.com/NYStateEd/posts/1927140017303034 Congratulations to Linda Romano from Newburgh Enlarged City School District, 2018 Association for Career and Technical Education National Teacher of the Year! http://bit.ly/2A9O6L0 #CTE Link "" "" 2017-12-11T07:04:55 88 "" 294662247217494_1927135533970149 https://www.facebook.com/NYStateEd/posts/1927135533970149 Congratulations, Ms. Romano!

The Commissioner addressed about 300 nonpublic school principals and teachers. Commissioner Elia said, “the name, RISE, captures the spirit of what I know motivates each and every one of us – namely to give rise to continuous improvement, to never be satisfied with the status quo when it comes to serving the students under our care.” Commissioner Elia also recognized NYSED staff members of the State Office of Religious and Independent Schools (SORIS), who work to support students & staff of religious & independent schools.

The 27 schools met the criteria for removal from Priority School status based upon their 2015-16 and 2016-17 progress in improving state assessment results for students. One school each will be removed from Priority School status in Albany City Schools, Buffalo Schools, and Wyandanch. The remaining 24 schools being removed from Priority status are in New York City Department of Education. “Removal from Priority School status shows the hard work being done by students, teachers and administrators at these schools and I applaud them all,” Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said. “While we’re seeing real progress in struggling and persistently struggling schools, there is still a great deal of work to be done to reduce the gap between our expectations for success and the reality of the results for students in these schools.” “These schools are working hard to collaborate with stakeholders to address the needs of their students, and the results so far are promising,” Commissioner Elia said. “At the same time, we must remain mindful that only sustained and accelerated progress in these schools can create the level of progress necessary for us to meet our goals for all of New York’s children.” The methodology used to make the progress and removal determinations is posted to the New York State Education Department (NYSED) website: http://bit.ly/2i6wdoX. Schools with performances that place them among the lowest performing in the state for the combined ELA and mathematics Performance Index or graduation rate and that are not improving are identified as Priority Schools. Current Priority Schools were identified based on 2014-15 school year results. Among the 27 schools being removed from Priority School status are 8 schools in Receivership, one in Albany City Schools and the remaining seven in New York City Department of Education. These schools will exit receivership at the end of the 2017-18 school year, at which time the superintendents for these schools will no longer have the special authority of school receivers. More information and a full list of the schools being removed from Priority School status can be found in our news release: http://bit.ly/2jC7kSn Photo "" "" 2017-12-01T08:43:57 124 "" 294662247217494_1915051431845226 https://www.facebook.com/NYStateEd/posts/1915051431845226:0 The desire to secure employment is often a goal of people living with HIV/AIDS. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prevents discrimination and upholds an individual’s right to go to work. According to the Department of Labor, only 21% of people with disabilities are in the labor force as opposed to 68.3% of people without a disability. Our ACCES-VR office can help people living with HIV/AIDS acquire vocational and educational services to prepare for the world of work. http://bit.ly/2dvrMPO #WAD2017 #WorldAIDSDay Photo "" "" 2017-12-01T08:00:51 125 "" 294662247217494_1915012655182437 https://www.facebook.com/NYStateEd/posts/1915012655182437 We’re pleased to announce that applications are currently being accepted for the 2018 New York State Summer School of the Arts (NYSSSA).

Grant recipients are Bard College, Cohoes City School District, Greece Central School District, and Schenectady County Community College (SUNY SCCC). The Smart Transfer Early College High School grants will support partnerships between public school districts and eligible institutions of higher education to offer historically underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students the opportunity and support to complete college early. The program also allows students to transfer to a partner four-year institution of higher education where they will continue to complete a bachelor’s degree within two years. Funding for this initiative was first included in Governor Andrew Cuomo’s executive budget in 2016.

Through this partnership, the Department will work with the College Board to expand student access to unique, personalized learning pathways, including free, Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The partnership builds upon the College Board’s ongoing work with school districts and BOCES across the state, including in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Yonkers, and New York City. “Our partnership with the College Board is important to the future long-term academic success of our students,” said State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia. “Together, we will help ensure that New York’s schoolchildren recognize and make the most of the opportunities available to them and realize their tremendous potential.” The College Board is partnering with several Department programs – including the My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) program, the Liberty Partnerships Program, and the STEP program – to launch school-day and after-school programs focused on increasing the use of free, personalized Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy. With Khan Academy, each student can access an SAT practice plan built just for them.

Rosa. “It’s very easy to understand why their PTECH model is being hailed as a national model to be emulated by others. These students will graduate with a high school diploma, a no-cost associate’s degree, and the skills and knowledge needed to continue their studies or step seamlessly into a well-paying, high-potential job. But that’s not all – students at HFM’s PTECH program are also inspiring us with their service projects that benefit both the local community and the wider world around them.” “The PTECH model is transformative,” said State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia. “Students in these programs go from thinking they can’t, to knowing they can – they can graduate from a high school program with rigorous academic standards, they can earn a college degree, and they can land a well-paying job. The program is helping students from all backgrounds look forward to what’s possible, instead of focusing on what may have happened in the past. It’s truly a win-win proposition for everyone involved.” Link "" "" 2017-10-24T10:34:51 1 270 "" 294662247217494_1870901559593547 https://www.facebook.com/NYStateEd/posts/1870901559593547 New York State Education Department shared StopBullying.Gov's post.

A 45-day public comment period on the proposed amendment will be held from Nov. 1 through Dec. 18. “A high school equivalency diploma can help people succeed in today’s ever-more competitive job market and provide a path to higher education,” said Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said. “Providing another pathway to an equivalency diploma will encourage individuals to stay engaged in education programs, improve high school completion rates, and open the door of opportunity to literally thousands of New Yorkers every year.” “Regents exams are a valid and reliable measure of the knowledge, skills and abilities required for high school graduation,” State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia said. “So, it makes sense to count passing scores on those exams for people seeking a high school equivalency diploma, providing them with more avenues to succeed in life.” More information about the proposed regulatory changes is available in our news release: http://bit.ly/2iirvrD Link "" "" 2017-10-16T11:45:46 1 306 "" 294662247217494_1862099757140394 https://www.facebook.com/NYStateEd/posts/1862099757140394 The Board of Regents today took action to allow teachers displaced by Hurricane Maria to obtain temporary nonrenewable teaching certification in New York State, the State Education Department announced today. The regulations allow for alternative forms of proof of certification and recent employment to obtain a temporary certificate. “Today’s action by the Board continues our efforts to assist those children and families impacted by the devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands,” Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said. “We know entire families no longer have a place to call home and many will seek to rebuild their lives in new places, such as New York State. With schools facing an influx of new schoolchildren, they will need teachers that can relate to these children’s recent horrifying experiences. Through this regulation change, we hope to ease the transition of moving to a new state, new community and new school for children, parents and teachers alike.” “After going through a terrifying experience, many of the children displaced by Hurricane Maria and arriving in New York will be immersed in an unfamiliar home and an unfamiliar school,” State Education Department Commissioner MaryEllen Elia said. “By allowing teachers from a familiar place who may share familiar challenges, we hope to help these children grow accustomed to their new surroundings while providing schools an avenue to best serve their growing student population with qualified teachers.” Recently, Hurricane Maria battered Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, leaving thousands of people displaced. Some families and teachers from these impacted areas, and their school-aged children, have already relocated to New York and many more may relocate in the coming weeks and months. More information on today’s action can be found here: http://bit.ly/2yrB5wg Last week, NYSED also issued guidance to school districts to assist them in enrolling and serving displaced students.

Students who are temporarily displaced due to disaster are likely protected by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act, a federal law that details the educational rights of students in temporary housing. Under the McKinney-Vento Act, students in temporary housing can enroll immediately in a school in the district where they are temporarily living even if they do not have the documents normally needed or missed enrollment deadlines. In addition, these displaced children are eligible for free school meals, Title 1 services, and services to support students with disabilities and English language learners. “The Board of Regents and the New York State Education Department are deeply concerned about the mounting scope of these tragedies and what it means for schoolchildren in the impacted areas,” Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said. “Children displaced from their homes, and everything that is familiar to them, face unique challenges as they enter a new school in a new state. This guidance provides districts with the information they need to quickly enroll these children and help re-establish a sense of normalcy in their lives.” “The Department stands ready to help school districts enroll these displaced students who likely have no school records available as a result of the devastation caused by these unrelenting natural disasters,” State Education Department Commissioner MaryEllen Elia said. “Even with no records, displaced children have a right to attend school, benefit from free meals and get the individualized instruction they received in their home state. Our guidance provides important information and resources for displaced families and the schools that will serve them.” Recently, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria battered Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and several other countries in the Caribbean, leaving thousands of people displaced. Some families from these impacted areas, and their school-aged children, have relocated to New York and many more may relocate in the coming weeks and months. NYSED issued guidance to school districts to assist them in enrolling and serving these displaced students.

Rosa and State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia on SUNY Charter Teacher Certification Vote: http://bit.ly/2yFIDOT “We strongly disapprove of today’s actions by the SUNY Charter Schools Committee. With the adoption of the latest proposal, the Committee ignored our concerns and those of many others in education. Over the past several years, the Board of Regents and the Department have raised standards for our teachers and are working to uplift the entire profession through efforts such as TeachNY. This change lowers standards and will allow inexperienced and unqualified individuals to teach those children that are most in need - students of color, those who are economically disadvantaged, and students with disabilities - in SUNY-authorized charter schools. Lowering standards would not be acceptable for any other profession; this is an insult to the teaching profession. With this irresponsible action, the SUNY Charter Schools Committee has eroded the quality of teachers in New York State and negatively impacted student achievement.” Link "" "" 2017-10-11T11:35:14 1 317 "" 294662247217494_1856834434333593 https://www.facebook.com/NYStateEd/posts/1856834434333593 New York State Education Department shared Federal Student Aid's photo.

Research shows that one in four school-age children has a vision disorder, which impacts his or her ability to properly learn. In June 2017, the New York State Assembly and New York State Senate passed resolutions proclaiming October 2017 as School Vision Health Month to raise awareness about providing accessible visual care and resources to those who are in need. “In recognition of School Vision Health Month, we are so pleased to partner with licensed optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians and VSP to bring comprehensive eye exams and glasses to children in these school districts,” Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said. “Once our students have access to proper vision care, their learning environment is greatly improved and they can truly realize their full potential. I want to thank Regent James E. Cottrell and Dr. Pamela F. Gallin for starting the conversation that brought about School Vision Health Month.” “Not being able to see the letters on a page can hinder students’ ability to learn,” said State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia said. “For some families in New York, eye exams and corrective eyewear is simply unaffordable. That is why we worked with the State Assembly and Senate to highlight this critical issue. We thank VSP and the licensed eye care professionals who donated resources and time to make these free exams possible.” NYSED coordinated the no-cost eye exams at schools where local optometrists will volunteer their time.
