Are you passionate about education and literacy? If so, this episode of the Better Learning Podcast is a must-listen! Titled The Power of Reading Proficiency, this episode dives deep into the urgent need to improve reading skills across the United States. Brandon Cardet-Hernandez shares his journey in education, from growing up in a group home to becoming the president of Mrs. Wordsmith. He emphasizes the importance of reading proficiency and the impact it has on a person's life. Brandon discusses his experiences as a special education teacher, working in school reform, and serving as an education advisor for Mayor Bill de Blasio. They also discuss the confusion surrounding the science of reading and the need for a more comprehensive approach to literacy education. They explore the challenges in the current education system and the importance of personalized learning and low-stakes testing. Brandon emphasizes the need for collaboration and creative solutions to ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed in reading.   Takeaways: Reading proficiency is crucial for success in life, and access to reading materials and support can greatly impact a person's educational outcomes. Educators often enter the field to address personal experiences or to make a positive change in the education system. Collaboration between different stakeholders, including policymakers, schools, and families, is essential for improving education. The work of Mrs. Wordsmith focuses on improving reading skills through phonics, vocabulary, and explicit instruction. The science of reading includes phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and vocabulary, all of which are crucial for reading comprehension. School boards play a crucial role in shaping education policies and should prioritize literacy as a key focus area.   A recognized leader and changemaker, Brandon has spent his career working to reimagine the systems, structures, and tools that accelerate opportunity and close achievement gaps. Brandon previously served as the Senior Education Advisor to former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and as the Director of Strategic Initiatives for the NYC Department of Education. A former special education teacher, Brandon has sat at the helm of two high schools, leading both institutions through transformational change.     Sound Bites to Ponder:   "Half of young people in the US are reading below grade level." "We need to be putting a level of urgency on reading and literacy because our schools are failing in this area." "We're focused on the science of reading, which includes phonemic awareness, phonics, and explicit instruction around vocabulary." "We need to recognize that the six hours and 20 minutes of a school day may not be sufficient for every child."       Follow on Brandon Cardet-Hernandez on Social Media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandoncardethernandez/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandoncardet/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrandonCardet   Boston Public Schools Website: https://www.bostonpublicschools.org/Page/1030 Mrs. Wordsmith Website: https://mrswordsmith.com/       Learn more about creating better learning environments at www.Kay-Twelve.com.   Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture.

The perception of public safety in New York City has seen a substantial shift in recent years, according to a survey released this Tuesday. Night-time subway rides, once seen as routine, were considered unsafe by a staggering 78% of residents by 2023, marking a notable increase in apprehension. The city's living standards were also reviewed negatively by many, with only 30% expressing a positive outlook, showing a downward trend of 21% since 2017. The Citizens Budget Commission, a non-partisan group which conducted the survey of over 6,600 households, sounded a clear message from their findings: 'There is much that needs to be done for New Yorkers to feel at home in the city.' Interestingly, the unease around subway safety showed little distinction between day and night in the data collected. In 2017, the commission found that New Yorkers felt only marginally safer travelling on the subway during the day than they did at night. The level of comfort plummeted 32 points by 2023, with only 49% of the population feeling safe commuting via subway in day-time. A parallel can be drawn to 2017 figures where 46% of New Yorkers admitted feeling safe during night-time subway travels. Despite these—somewhat alarming—safety concerns, it is important to note certain nuances in the data. The year 2017 was regarded as one of the safest in the modern history of the city, with the number of homicides reaching an all-time low of 292. The figure at the time was a significant reduction from the early 2000s, which witnessed over 600 annual homicides according to NYPD data. Hence, the comparison may not represent a typical trend. To put things into perspective, though the number of homicides did hit 391 in the year under consideration (2023), it still represented a consecutive year of decrease. However, such numbers continue to add to the complexity of the tasks at the desk of Mayor Adams. The mayor had run his 2021 campaign with promises of enhancing public safety and city services. The data, though, underscores the difficulties he along with Governor Hochul may be facing to alleviate the anxiety related to the subway system's safety concerns. Remarkably, the study was brought to light prior to a sudden increase in instances of subway crimes this winter, culminating in a scuffle and shooting incident on a rush hour A train. This event, no doubt, deepened concerns around subway safety. Governor Hochul made an attempt to bolster security sentiments by deputing 750 soldiers from the National Guard to check bags in the subway. Critics, however, argued that the presence of military might inadvertently enhance the feelings of lawlessness. Security is not the only issue, however. The study found that several other amenities provided by the city were falling short of New Yorkers' expectations. Cleanliness ratings had dropped significantly, with satisfaction dipping by 13 percentage points to 34%. Garbage collection services satisfied only 57% of residents, down 9 points since 2017. An alarming 18 points fall was seen for rat control satisfaction which had dropped to 27%, adding to Mayor Adams' list of challenges. In their report alongside the poll findings, the Citizens Budget Commission asserted that the focus of Mayor Adam's administration more or less aligns with what New Yorkers view as their priorities. However, they noted a notable gap with respect to how residents were rating the quality of life now versus their past ratings. 'There's a significant scope of improvement needed to get back to former contentment levels that the citizens once enjoyed,' said the report. Mayor Adams, a middle-of-the-road Democrat, prioritized public safety during his campaign, along with other issues like ramping up the fight against the rat menace and improving trash collection mechanisms. His promise had been clear and attractive: taxes paid by New Yorkers would return in the form of superior and value-driven services. 'The government has a responsibility to provide goods and services in return for the taxes paid by our citizens,' he had said during his election night speech. Despite his commitment to system reforms, the sentiment today reflects disillusionment. The recent poll found only 11% residents believed that the city judiciously uses their tax dollars, down from 21% during the term of Mayor Bill de Blasio. When it comes to grading city-provided services in general, positive responses fell dramatically from 44% to 24% over a span of six years. A similar trend was spotted for public safety statistics in New York City. In the recent survey, a 13-point drop was recorded in the share of participants who considered the state of public safety to be either good or excellent. The concerns with the subway system have been a significant contributor here. On the other hand, the Mayor's statements seem contrary to the feedback being garnered. Mayor Adams, since his tenure began at the start of 2022, has been asserting that NYC remains the safest big city in the nation. Despite growing statistics showing an increase in subway crimes, the overall violent crime rates appear to be on a downward trajectory in the city. Mayor Adams brushed aside potential blame for the diminishing sentiment, downplaying its association with his two-year administration. He asserted that the community acknowledges his administration's prioritization towards making New York a better and safer city. 'I assure the people, their concerns are my concerns. We are combatting public safety issues, space concerns, and rat infestations. We are working in the right direction and will continue to do so,' Adams said. Clarifying this stance, President of the Citizens Budget Commission, Andrew Rein, confirmed that comparing the current safety levels with those from 2017 isn't reasonable, given that it was a categorically different era, marking a significantly low crime rate. Nonetheless, he emphasized that the current data undeniably illustrates that a sizable population of New Yorkers are still feeling insecure about their city, especially now as COVID-19 pandemic becomes a part of our past. Rein said, 'It would be very cynical to examine these ratings and believe that New Yorkers are content. Many New Yorkers are expressing unease despite the receding pandemic, indicating a level of discomfort with the current state of their beloved city.' To sum up, it's evident that New Yorkers' perspective towards the city's public safety and quality of life is changing, necessitating a reassessment of the strategies in place not only for subway safety but also for overall governance and provision of municipal services. Focused efforts to bridge the gap between the administration's targets and the residents' expectations could be a feasible path forward.

Columbia University's Daniel Zarrilli knows a thing or two about New York City and the effects of climate change.For almost a decade prior to Hurricane Sandy, he worked on the city's waterfront, managing maintenance and construction of the city's piers and bulkheads, overseeing cruise terminals and other maritime assets, and working with coastal communities on a variety of local projects. That experience along the city's 520-mile shoreline, plus his training as an engineer, put him in view of Mayor Michael Bloomberg as he was standing up his initiative to rebuild New York following Hurricane Sandy and make it more resilient.Bloomberg appointed Zarrilli as the city's first resilience director. He then became Chief Climate Policy Advisor under Mayor Bill de Blasio, helping usher landmark energy policy through the city council, which mandates emissions reductions produced by the city's largest buildings of 40 percent by 2030.Now Zarrilli serves as Special Advisor for Climate and Sustainability at Columbia University, helping to create a new world-leading climate school and advising on pathways to achieve the university's deep decarbonization goals. This wealth of deep experience and expertise makes him a valuable addition to the NYISO's Environmental Advisory Council, a group of outside experts that informs NYISO leadership on evolving state and federal climate policy and environmental justice considerations.Local Law 97, New York City's building decarbonization law passed in 2019, requires most buildings over 25,000 square feet to meet new energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions limits, with even stricter limits coming into effect in 2030.There are already indications that the policy is working, Zarrilli said.  “New Yorkers have so much to be proud of for the progress that has been made,” Zarrilli said. “There were $20 billion in climate adaptation investments made after Hurricane Sandy, everything from flood protection to grid upgrades to new elevated hospitals in our coastal communities.”  “I think the much more exciting thing about Local Law 97 is how it has catalyzed this marketplace in New York City around clean energy technology, innovation, and investment that is all now centered in New York City,” he said. “So much of our infrastructure was built for a world and a climate that doesn't exist anymore,” he said.He pointed to concerns about global economic conditions and supply chain challenges that can make electrification projects difficult. In the offshore wind space, he noted that some coastal communities have zoning concerns and questions that must be addressed and answered.Zarrilli credits the NYISO's forward-thinking approach to the wholesale electric market, which he says will drive incentives to speed up the clean energy transition. “The role that the NYISO plays to help provide that stimulus and incentive is really important, and not a fully appreciated role,” Zarrilli said, “but it's a critical one that I think the state and other ISOs are going to continue to learn from.Additional Resources and InformationThe New York ISO Environmental Advisory CouncilColumbia Climate SchoolLearn More Follow us on Twitter @NewYorkISO and LinkedIn @NYISO Read our blogs and watch our videos Check out our 2040 grid page

Imam Khalid Latif is a University Chaplain for New York University, and Executive Director of the Islamic Center at NYU (ICNYU). Under his leadership, ICNYU became the first ever established Muslim student center at an institution of higher education in the United States. Imam Latif's exceptional dedication and ability to cross interfaith and cultural lines on a daily basis brought him recognition throughout New York City, so much so that in 2007, Mayor Michael Bloomberg nominated Imam Latif to become the youngest chaplain in history of the New York City Police Department at the age of 24. Most recently, Imam Latif was selected as one of 60 New York City leaders to serve on Mayor Bill de Blasio's transition team, helping to recommend and select individuals for key roles in the current NYC administration and was also appointed to a “Task Force to Combat Hate” by NYC Public Advocate Letitia James to deal with the rise in Islamophobic, antisemitic, and anti-Sikh sentiment in NYC. Support the Islamic Center at NYUOur operating and programmatic budget comes directly from donations and as our community grows, so do our expenses.
