187. Wow...

I believe I just realized I am speaking to someone who knows nothing about the topic but assumes they do. They are NOT charter schools. They are NYC Public Schools ---examples here: http://schools.nyc.gov/SchoolPortals/12/X388/default.htm They advertise on the DOE open market transfer = Charter schools do not have access to this transfer system.

In effect every single of one of the "international" schools are 100% NYC Public Schools. They have a funding network for the teachers PD during the summer and activities but they are Public Schools. A lot of schools have those donation systems. If you want, please call the schools and ask them are they charter schools or New York City Public Schools. Actually I would not be able to work at an international school if I was part of the program I am part of. It goes against my programs development. I am mandated to work in a Public School and several of teachers in my cohort work at International Schools without a problem. If they were charters those people would be removed from the program.

Most charter schools have a specific marker to them...they have "charter school" listed in their name and not "public school or just plain high school." Not to mention most of the charter schools I know have their own buildings and aren't placed within former Public School buildings ie turning them into Campus. Pan-American International High School is located on the James Monroe High School Campus and shares it's space with about 4 or so other schools DOE Public Schools.

Here is a listing of the charter schools in NYC:

You assume I work for an International school? I don't. But I know about them because I friends who work in them and I wouldn't mind working in them because of their known success with ELL's although some of them don't follow the layered curriculum format I actually like. Secondly, they follow New York State standards and if you go to the Common Core State Standards---ALL New York State Public Schools need to adhere to them. When I went on interviews to those schools they ALL asked me about my understanding of the CCSS. 45 States and 2 of 3 Common Wealths must adhere to the Common Core, it's not a choice. The rubric is a set guideline for literacy. I don't know where you are getting this 'leeway' thing from. I don't know what Charter schools have to do. They might not have to follow the CCSS, but even I think they are adopting it.
