Welcome!
The CUNY School Support Organization provides outstanding assistance to a group of middle, high, and early college schools that share a commitment to preparing students for success in college—meaning that a rigorous high school program and subsequent enrollment in college should be the goal for all students. At CUNY, the college-bound focus begins as early as middle school and continues through the college application and admissions process. Schools are connected to a wide range of CUNY resources, including partnerships, professional development opportunities, faculty consultants, research centers, and student events.
Some of our work includes:
- Project eMap - a web-based, totally customizable application designed to electronically encompass the process of curriculum mapping and management.
- Writing Initiative - a collaborative process for teachers to analyze student writing, adapt instruction, and measure student progress.
- Principal Meetings - a professional community that solves problems and shares best practices based on over 50 years of teaching and administrative experience combined.
- Special Ed Council - a holistic working-group comprised of special education, general education teachers, school counselors, paraprofessionals, social workers, and administrators focused on improving instruction for all students who have special needs.
- College-Readiness Advisory Curriculum - a curriculum rooted in David T. Conley's facets of college-readiness that aligns high school experiences with college expectations.
- Early College Retreat - an annual professional development conference of early college schools that allows schools to participate in cross-school dialogue and develop curriculum scope and sequence plans.

What's New?
CUNY SSO 9th Grade Plan
The CUNY SSO has created a goal-setting document for 9th grade students. This double-sided document allows students to orient themselves and ensure that they are on the path to successful high school completion!
One side has information about making the most of their high school experience while preparing for college entrance. The other side is a worksheet that allows students to document course grades, credits earned, and regents scores throughout their entire 9th grade year!
To obtain additional copies of the 9th grade plan, contact Adenike Huggins. To see what it looks like click here.
