Q&A

Dinowitz asks New Visions about tracking Seal outcomes

New York City Council · Oct 20, 2026 · starts 2:08:28 · 1 min 19 sec

Dinowitz asks whether New Visions tracks how Seal students do later. Elizabeth Shattuck says the portal worked on tracking during Seal development but she does not know if it still does, and will find out.

Eric Dinowitz

Thank you.

Eric Dinowitz

Ms.

Eric Dinowitz

Shattuck, you heard Ms.

Eric Dinowitz

Gomes just talk about, you know, wouldn't it be nice to know how these students do with the seal of civic readiness?

Eric Dinowitz

The New Visions runs a portal, the New Visions portal.

Eric Dinowitz

I'm curious to know, one, if this is data you track, or two, if you are in conversations with DOE and CUNY to track this data.

Member of the Public

I know that when we were working on the seal in 2018 to 2021 in terms of development, that the portal was working on a way to track and measure that.

Member of the Public

But I do not know if that is something that we still do.

Member of the Public

I can find out and let you know.

Eric Dinowitz

Yeah, if you could find it.

Eric Dinowitz

And then, of course, I think as Gom said, and it's absolutely true, data drives decisions, as Councilman Joseph said.

Eric Dinowitz

So that would be the next step, I think, as it relates to this hearing for the portal to or new visions to explore.

Eric Dinowitz

And I always say whenever I hear new visions, you know, for seven years I taught at Bronx Theater High School, a new vision school.

Eric Dinowitz

So love the support that I got there with data and curriculum.

Member of the Public

I know that school well.

Member of the Public

That's great.

Eric Dinowitz

Great.
