The number of students entering college requiring remediation is one of several strong indicators of the need for improved alignment between high school and college curricula. To address this gap, GNYC developed the Collaborative Curriculum Revision Project (CCRP), implemented via a new collaboration with the Early College Initiative (ECI) for academic year 2017-2018. GNYC and ECI partner with CUNY colleges and NYC DOE high schools to see the CCRP’s goals to fruition, and the project is generously sustained by funding from the Teagle Foundation. Over the course of the academic year, cohorts of high school teachers and college faculty work together with the support of a facilitator to vertically align curricula across the K-12/higher education divide. The project bridges the transition between NYC DOE public high schools and CUNY colleges by building a shared understanding of curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices at the high school and college level.
The following cohorts are rooted in the Decoding the Disciplines framework, a process for identifying bottlenecks that impede student learning, wherein teachers and students are led through the task of breaking down these barriers via an in-depth seven-step process. The CCRP leverages this framework within the alignment context and engages high school teachers and college faculty to adjust their curricula, assignments, and assessments in order to successfully guide students through a more seamless transition from high school to college.
