But most importantly, we listened, so we could truly understand what you've lost, what you needed, what information was lacking, and what tomorrow may look like for those caught in the web of COVID-19. ny.chalkbeat.org/2021/3/12/2232…

One amazing thing about the debate over integration in NYC is that teenagers are consistently more thoughtful and mature on the issue than people twice their age. ny1.com/share/nyc/all-…

NYC’s free child care program turned away students with disabilities. Some parents fear a repeat for summer school. ckbe.at/3tFKzij

The implementation of such a program would not only lead to higher graduation rates but increase youth participation in communities across the city, while gaining valuable real-world knowledge.

Kindergartners learning about spending and saving, first graders learning about scarcity and trading, second graders writing business plans... There's a whole lot of potential! edutopia.org/article/creati…

"New York is more reliant on academic prerequisites like test scores, grades and attendance to place students in public schools than any other school district in America." Only by dismantling this restrictive system can we open up opportunities to all the students in the city.

Online programs like Paper are a great example of how school districts can close the opportunity gap with tutoring.

I'm having a hard time believing we're still in the same week that the mayor released his executive budget proposal??? ICYMI, here's what we know about how it would impact schools — a world away from his initial budget proposal just three months ago: ny.chalkbeat.org/2021/4/26/2240…

Friday afternoon news from DOE on attendance: 327,000 students have been enrolled up for in-person/blended learning, not counting the new opt-ins -- this is higher than the "about 315,000" figure DOE had been using But last week, only 285,000 students attended in person

The strategies outlined here can apply to teachers at all grade levels, not just preschool. No matter the age, personal connections betwenn educators and their students develops trust that will lead to a more dynamic classroom.

Beautifully written story from @cveiga about a 1:1 tutoring program that pays students to help their peers at a Brooklyn HS where many Ss are English learners & the communities it serves were hit very hard by COVID. Amazing 📸 by @GabrielaBhaskar too ny.chalkbeat.org/2021/4/14/2238…
