NYC teachers say Mayor Adams' literacy overhaul requires more training, resources
New York City teachers want more training and other resources to fulfill Mayor Eric Adams’ goal of improving low literacy rates in public schools, according to a new survey.
The survey from Educators for Excellence comes 18 months into Adams’ literacy overhaul called “NYC Reads.”
Fewer than 50% of New York City elementary and middle schoolers scored proficient in reading on the most recent state tests.
While most educators are supportive of Adams’ goal of aligning reading instruction with the latest science, many say students still need more help, especially students with disabilities and English language learners.Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
