Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Research Alliance conducted a small study aimed at understanding educators’ experiences in the ASD Nest program. Our findings provide useful insight into factors they see as important for implementing the model, challenges that may need to be addressed, and considerations for replicating ASD Nest in other schools and districts.

As part of the Research Alliance’s ongoing evaluation of CS4All, this report examines progress toward the initiative’s goals, including the extent to which schools are reaching all of their students with CS, as well as the extent to which participation is equitable for girls and Black and Latinx students—who have been starkly underrepresented in CS education and careers.

Our new study uses data on more than 230,000 NYC students to examine the effects of neighborhood policing on high school graduation rates. The findings highlight starkly different experiences with policing across racial/ethnic groups and provide evidence about how these inequities shape students' educational trajectories.
