Urban Advantage and the Administrators of NYC
UA provides support for the teaching and learning of science in participating schools. By providing professional development for teachers, parent coordinators, and administrators, UA links school leaders and their science staff more thoroughly, ensuring all participants have the support they need.
Administrators receive access to UA's eight science-rich cultural institutions to recognize the benefit of student access to the curriculam-supporting learning that can happen in these places.
Professional Learning
Participating in Research-Based Professional Learning
Administrators attend four UA Administrator Breakfasts throughout the school year to stay up-to-date on the latest program developments. These events provide immersive learning experiences that deepen their understanding of the work with teachers and parent coordinators. This helps administrators return to their schools with fresh tools and strategies to improve family engagement and support teachers in reflecting on their practice.
Forming a UA-supported community
The Administrator events give UA Administrators the chance to network with colleagues citywide, exchange ideas, and learn from shared challenges, helping to build a culture of collaboration and continuous practice improvement.
