Working with Research Alliance for New York City Schools, Raver said the project will offer concrete data that will demonstrate students’ academic and social progress in the classroom. “Often we know a lot about children, but we don’t necessarily have a lot of opportunity to examine those models in a real world context.” “This is a very exciting opportunity to put science to work,” Raver said. Two months in, high-quality, full-day pre-K is changing children’s lives.”Ĭybele Raver, NYU’s vice-provost for Research and Faculty Affairs and principal investigator of the project, said this program is on the cutting-edge of innovation and research that supports young children. “We are working every day to ensure these programs fulfill their potential and meet the highest standards.
“We made pre-K for all the centerpiece of our agenda to fight inequality and give every family opportunity,” de Blasio said in a statement from Nov.
Since unveiling the plan, the city has successfully enrolled more than 51,000 children in preschool programs. The program is part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s ongoing efforts to establish universal preschool for the children of New York City. “It turns out that the city has very good information on enrollment but had less information on how kids were doing in terms of their cognitive and socioemotional development over the course of the year.” “What we were wanting to do was really provide a dashboard for the city,” Morris said. Pamela Morris, director of IHDSC and the project’s co-principal investigator, said she believes this project will provide unprecedented research that will help tailor programs for pre-K students. DOE’s Institute of Education Sciences and the Spencer Foundation, this project will help educators and researchers better understand how universal pre-K programs support children throughout the school year. In an effort to support New York’s pre-K programs, NYU Steinhardt’s Institute for Human Development and Social Change has partnered with the New York City Department for Education and the New york City Center for Economic Opportunity.įunded by the U.S.
