Success – Part 4

May 8, 2014May 7, 2014

Here are links to the NYC Department of Education most recent evaluations for those Success Academy public schools in operation long enough to have been tested:  Harlem 1 (96.5% minority, rated: A); Harlem 2 (97.2% minority, rated: A); Harlem 3 (95.3% minority, rated A); Harlem 4 (92.8% minority, rated A); Harlem 5 (95.7% minority, rated A); Bronx 1 (95.7% minority, rated A); Bronx 2 (97.5% minority, rated A).

At their core, what these reports represent are at-risk youngsters receiving a foundation of skills and self-confidence that will lead to productive lives, breaking the cycle of poverty and despair that too often begets hopelessness, teen pregnancy, dependency, crime and incarceration.

So it’s a big deal, I think, to be encouraged — and poached from wherever its methods can prove helpful to other public schools.

As mentioned earlier in the week, those methods are offered for $20.23 in Mission Possible: How the Secrets of the Success Academies Can Work in Any School.  A DVD of 21 revealing video clips comes bundled with the book.  As I said Monday: just look at the faces!
