Research

CUNY-NYSIEB links theory, research, and practice. Our Principal Investigators, Associate Investigators and Research Assistants capture data from their experiences at schools in CUNY-NYSIEB cohorts, teasing out observations, themes and trends, for the benefit of other educators and school leaders. On this page, find academic publications authored by members of our team, as well as reports from the State and other sources which we have found useful.
