NYLearns.org Be a part of the revolution New York State’s Standards-Based System NYLearns.org was developed in response to the profound need to assist teachers in understanding and applying a standards-based approach to teaching and learning – and in response to the need to deliver resources to teachers in ways that make the learning standards meaningful and manageable. The overarching thrust of NYLearns is to identify, organize and deliver educational resources that are aligned to learning standards. NYLearns also provides teachers with easy-to-use integrated classroom tools that enhance their teaching effectiveness. NYLearns.org provides (at NO COST to your district): • Online access to all NYS Learning Standards and the new Common Core Standards; • Online access to peer-reviewed, standards-based, educational resources and instructional content developed by master teachers and content providers; • The ability to find educational resources based on the NYS performance indicators. NYLearns’ organizational mission is leveraging technologies to advance the overall quality of education for all children. We believe the NYLearns project addresses the following challenges currently faced by many districts: 1. Reducing the overall software/hardware/textbook costs for districts. 2. Integrating the new NYS Common Core Standards. 3. Focusing a district’s standards-based curriculum and instruction initiative toward student achievement. If a school district’s ultimate goal is student achievement and achievement is widely defined in education as student scores on NYS standards-based assessments, then implementing the NYLearns standards-based system is one of the most important curriculum and instruction initiatives within a school district.
