Differentiated PD Sessions

Bronx High School Fair

(Roosevelt Campus: Sat & Sun)

Staff Meeting: Differentiated PD Sessions

This week’s staff meeting will be differentiated sessions. The topics of the sessions will be iLearn (for 12th grade teachers), and Increasing Academic Rigor: The Importance of Questioning. Questioning in our classrooms was given as an area of improvement during last year’s Curriculum Audit. Visitors will be observing lessons in the coming weeks to ensure the strategies presented in this session are being implemented. All teachers who are not on the 12th grade team will attend this session.

PNA Field Day & Activities Fair a Success!

PNA Field Day and Activities Fair was a huge success. We had great attendance for the event. Students ate, signed-up for afterschool activities, and enjoyed engaging in activities with PNA staff. A special thank you goes out to the School Culture & Activities Team and Student Government for making the event a success.

Physical Space Best Practices

A physical space walkthrough was conducted on October 7th and 11th on all PNA classrooms. Teachers will receive feedback for each room they teach in. The best practices from this walkthrough are detailed at the link below. Please take a moment and learn about some of the best practices from PNA teachers.
