To me, the key ingredients are strong and clear instructional priorities.
0:17:20
New York City Reads, New York City Solves, and Student Pathways to be specific, bolstered by a foundation of safety and wellness, teacher support, and family and community partnerships.

This morning, I'd like to update you on the progress of these initiatives, starting with NYC READS.
0:17:36
I'm proud that we have successfully rolled out New York City READS to our elementary schools and early childhood programs, but the work is far from over.

As I know from my years in the classroom, research based tier one instruction must be paired with appropriate and effective tier two and tier three interventions.
0:17:53
That is why we have turned our focus to consistent, high quality implementation and streamlined targeted interventions directing our schools to focus on a handful of proven strategies for supporting diverse learners.
0:18:06
This approach ensures that all children, including students with disabilities and multilingual learners, receive the support they need to access curriculum.
0:18:15
Through our investments in NYC Solves and Student Pathways, we are also ensuring that our older students have the real world skills and experiences to thrive beyond high school.

As New York State revises its graduation requirements and reconsiders what it takes to be prepared for adult life, we at New York City Public Schools are ahead by leaps and bounds.
0:18:35
We have been reimagining the high school experience since the start of this administration, providing cutting edge opportunities for our students to prepare for high demand careers.
0:18:45
I'm proud that over half a million students are benefiting from NYC Reads and NYC Solves this year, and that 15,000 students are participating in our signature future ready NYC program, gaining twenty first century skills and earning real wages.
0:19:00
These instructional priorities are and will continue to be our major long term focus.
0:19:06
Our goal is that by 02/1935, all students will be on grade level in reading and math, and that by 02/1930, '1 hundred thousand students will be in market aligned pathways with access to paid work experience, and all students will graduate with a strong plan enabled by advising career readiness skills and access to early college classes.
0:19:27
I am more confident than ever that we will get there.
