New American Initiative

2013-2016

The New American Initiative transforms the fundamental structures of schooling through an innovative K-5 public school model.

Developed in collaboration with the NYC Department of Education, the teacher’s union, and the Harvard Graduate School of Education, The New American Initiative employs collaborative teacher-teams, a mastery-based career ladder, and looping cycles to empower learners and inspire leaders in a network of elementary schools.

Arbor Rising partnered with The New American Initiative management team on a number of key deliverables, including: 

  • Theory of Change — clarifying the population served, scope of intervention, progress milestones and high-level outcomes

  • Outcomes Dashboard — identifying, carefully defining, and setting detailed targets for all outcomes and leading indicators

  • Growth Planning — scenario construction and analysis around program expansion / extension
