What makes the science curriculum work at New Visions unique is the close collaboration with our teacher leaders. This past week, the science team convened two of our best teacher leaders, Charlie Link (DeWitt Clinton HS) and Andrea Sau (Mott Hall HS Bronx) to develop updated pacing guides and guidance on how to incorporate the new NYSED science investigations into our Biology and Earth and Space Science curriculum. Science teachers across the city will benefit from their hard work, as they plan for the school year and prepare for the new New York Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS)-aligned Regents exam this year.

We are so excited to announce the launch of the groundbreaking Auto-Pilot program, designed to help high school students in the Bronx obtain their driver’s licenses and access careers in transportation, automotive repair, and other high-demand sectors. This initiative, in partnership with the Consortium for Worker Education, Best Way Driving School, and Hagerty Drivers Foundation, aims to create employment opportunities for underserved youth in New York City. 30% of civil service roles require a driver's license, yet financial constraints obstruct access for many young people who may otherwise be a fit for these pathways. In industries like manufacturing, construction, security, and the postal service, possessing a driver's license is often a distinguishing factor for job applicants.
