In this paper we provide the first rigorous evidence of the impact of a partnership between public middle schools and informal science institutions (ISIs), such as museums and zoos, on student outcomes.

Corcoran, Sean P.; Schwartz, Amy Ellen; Weinstein, Meryle – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2012
The New York City Leadership Academy represents a unique experiment by a large urban school district to train and develop its own school leaders.

Been, Vicki; Ellen, Ingrid Gould; Schwartz, Amy Ellen; Stiefel, Leanna; Weinstein, Meryle – Institute for Education and Social Policy, 2011
The recent foreclosure crisis has plagued nearly every city in the U.S., including New York City. Despite considerable attention to the causes of these mortgage foreclosures and the consequences they have had for communities, we know little about their impacts on individual families and children. Given that more than 2.8 million U.S. property…

Been, Vicki; Ellen, Ingrid Gould; Schwartz, Amy Ellen; Stiefel, Leanna; Weinstein, Meryle – Institute for Education and Social Policy, 2010
The mortgage foreclosure crisis has affected millions of households around the country. Researchers and policy makers have begun to pay attention to the external costs that these foreclosures impose on surrounding properties and neighborhoods (Schuetz et al., 2008; Harding et al., 2009). But few have considered the collateral costs for children,…

Debraggio, Elizabeth; Nazar de Jaucourt, Lila; Ruble, Emilyn; Schwartz, Amy Ellen; Stiefel, Leanna; Weinstein, Meryle – Institute for Education and Social Policy, 2011
Schools are not static entities--reforms are enacted, curriculums change, new principals and teachers arrive and others leave, and, importantly, students exit and enter the school system. These students may be graduating or reaching a terminal grade, beginning school, entering from local private or parochial schools, moving from another district,…

Weinstein, Meryle; Pakes, Juliana; Donis-Keller, Christine; Schwartz, Amy Ellen – Institute for Education and Social Policy, New York University, 2008
More than 86,000 students enrolled in first grade in New York City in the fall of 1995. These students were expected to graduate from high school in June 2007. As we seek to understand why some met this goal while others did not, it is critical to know where they began. Researchers followed this cohort for their first eight years of schooling:…
