Initiating, Monitoring, and Sustaining School Integration Projects: A Toolkit for New York State School Districts is a step-by-step guide for initiating, monitoring and sustaining school and district-level integration efforts. Developed for NYSED’s New York State Integration Project (NYSIP) in partnership with the Center for Public Research & Leadership (CPRL) at Columbia University, this toolkit is organized around the elements of CPRL’s Leading Through Learning framework, a cornerstone of CPRL’s approach to supporting equitable educational outcomes. Since 2018, NYSED and its partners have supported NYSIP, a program to help school districts create more diverse schools as a mechanism for increasing student achievement in Title I schools.
