Its goal is to support meaningful collaboration between the district and charter sector in order to increase educator capacity and student learning in all New York City public schools. The District-Charter Collaborative  \n(DCC) is one of the principal programs under the DCP umbrella. Spearheaded by the NYC Department of Education’s (DOE) Office of School Design and Charter Partnershipsand Office of Leadership, the program brings quads of schools (2 district and 2 charter) together to engage in structured collaboration through the creation of professional learning communities (PLCs) . These PLCs aim to improve practice in one of the following Learning Focus Areas (LFAs): math instruction, supporting English Language Learners, restorative behavioral practices, and supporting students with disabilities.  \nOver the course of two years, members of DCC quads engage in the following activities to drive improvement within their LFA:  \n• School Team Inquiry Meetings: DCC schools form school teams that meet on a  \nbi-weekly basis with their DOE facilitator. These teams work through an inquiry process on a school-specific problem of practice linked to their quad’s LFA.  \n• Interschool Collaboration: With the help of their DOE facilitator, each school rotates hosting visits for other members of the quad once per month. Participants observe the hosting school’s practices in their LFA and work together to problem-solve challenges. Throughout the day, participants also engage in relationship-building activities.  \n• Professional Development (PD): Quads are paired with an external PD provider, who offers resources, coaching, and other supports connected to their LFA.  \n1  \nDCC believes that, by engaging in these three activities, schools will improve educator practice and student outcomes, strengthen school capacity to engage in continuous improvement, and develop a strong culture of collaboration between district and charter schools.  \nThis case study highlights promising practices for one key element of DCC – interschool collaboration. To better understand how schools implemented interschool collaboration in DCC, researchers in the DOE’s Research and Policy Support Group engaged in a two-year qualitative investigation that involved observations of DCC activities; interviews with principals, teachers, and facilitators; and an analysis of artifacts from quads’work. The results from our research indicate that effective interschool collaboration between district and charter schools in DCC is fostered by:  \n Investing in relationship-building  \n Creating structures for collaborative problem-solving  \nBelow we describe the ways in which one quad – Math 1 – engaged in these processes as part of their interschool collaboration during the 2016-17 and 2017-18 school years. We also highlight how this work led to the development of a strong culture of collaboration among district and charter educators in Math 1, as well as improvements in educator practice and student outcomes.  \n2  \nAT A GLANCE: MATH 1 QUAD  \nThe Math 1 quad consists of two district elementary schools – Christopher Avenue Community School and P.S. 059 William Floyd – and two independent charter elementary schools – Amber Charter School and Bedford Stuyvesant New Beginnings Charter School. Three of the schools are located in Central and East Brooklyn and one school is in Upper Manhattan.  \nThe schools decided to join DCC because they believed it would provide additional opportunities for feedback and learning. According to one school leader, “[we] envision a partnership where we can meet consistently to share best practices, analyze student data, engage in professional learni","cbCaispgAmly5NCr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaispgAmly5NCr","pdf",2746018,"English","# Introduction\n# At a Glance: Math 1 Quad\n# Math 1 Quad: Developing Collective Capacity to Improve Math Instruction Through DCC","[{\"question\":\"What is the District-Charter Collaborative (DCC) and what is its purpose?\",\"answer\":\"DCC is a principal program under the District-Charter Partnerships (DCP) umbrella.
