Welcome to the Mentor School Showcase. The schools whose practices are showcased here have been funded to form a partnership with a Replication School in need of assistance or intervention to improve outcomes in an area targeted by the New York State Improvement Plan. Overviews are organized by the area of validated practice; each provides a narrative description of the validated practice along with video of school/district staff discussing the highlighted elements of the practice. In order to move from page to page within each overview, scroll down to the bottom of the page and use the navigation arrows.
