NYC iZone: Empowering Students to Succeed

The New York City Department of Education created the Innovation Zone (iZone) in 2010 to challenge longstanding assumptions around "business as usual" in K-12 education. Schools within the iZone are provided the resources and support to pioneer new models that transform what schools look like, personalizing instruction to the needs of each individual student, and dramatically improving student achievement. Over the next four years, the iZone will help more than 300 schools design, develop, evaluate, and scale disruptive new models that restructure and rethink K-12 education.

Cisco is partnering with the NYC Department of Education to establish a new model for improved learning outcomes. At Cisco, we believe that all societies need to be learning societies. Using innovative solutions and effective partnerships we Connect, Engage and Empower the next generation of education systems.
