Knowledge Sharing



Knowledge Sharing is the practice of identifying, capturing, and disseminating expertise and innovation among New York City educators. The goal of knowledge sharing is to save educators time and support their development. At schools across the City, educators are discovering solutions to common instructional and organizational challenges. Sharing effective practices across the City can have a powerful impact on student achievement.    

The primary online platform for knowledge sharing is ARIS Connect.

ARIS Connect is:

  • A searchable library of exemplary research, instructional materials and practices aligned to evolving state standards that support teaching and learning
  • A collaborative forum where educators who work together or share common interests or challenges can communicate, collaborate, and share resources and ideas

Here are some quick links to our most popular ARIS Connect communities:

Community in Focus

 The Quality Review-Promising Practices Library an ARIS Connect Community that houses resources, articles, videos, and artifacts aligned to each indicator of the Quality Review (QR) rubric. The goal of the QR-PPL is to support educators in understanding the expectations of the QR, to illustrate the rubric with a diversity of promising practices, and to facilitate connections among colleagues across the city. Some current practices include ELL Strategies, Setting Differentiated Learning Goals, Integrated Project Design, Professional Development Assessment Day and more!

 Well Developed Classroom Blog One of the latest features in the QR-PPL is the Well Developed Classroom, a new monthly blog written to provide teachers with resources to support high quality instruction and assessment across classrooms. It is aligned to the well developed indicators in the Quality Review rubric.

Each month, the blog will include details of a practice, the rationale behind the practice, relationships to QR indicators, and provide tools that educators can use to implement the practice.


Parents and guardians are not able to access ARIS Connect at this time, but they can find the same data educators see about their student in ARIS by logging into ARIS Parent Link.

Educators can find more information about knowledge sharing on the intranet or by logging into ARIS Connect and exploring.
