Love this article @TheAtlantic ! Read aloud is a central part of our literacy curriculum. It is vital for comprehension & it brings so much joy to both students & teachers. Great to learn about the research on the benefits for both readers and listeners bit.ly/4a0M4wz

Absolutely looking forward to our conversation, @rpondiscio! I'm excited to discuss my book A Parenting and much more. For those who can't make it in person, be sure to tune in to the live stream on Monday @ 4pm EST. It's going to be a great discussion!

Rosalynn Carter was an extraordinary humanitarian who used her platform to make the world a better place. May her grit serve as inspiration for generations to come and her legacy never forgotten.

NYC district schools should be doing everything possible to engage parents, & that must include regular, in person touchpoints—it is not possible to address our learning & attendance crisis without family engagement. brnw.ch/21wEryn

Parents can help children become intellectually vibrant adults by helping them appreciate alternative pastimes. Luckily there are many options to choose from. My new piece in the @NYpost has you covered. brnw.ch/21wDZVM

Huge gaps by income on the SATs are a symptom of 18 yrs of educational inequality both in and out of school. At @SuccessCharters, we provide free SAT prep at our high schools and 13 years of very rigorous learning. bit.ly/3QvSJIS

We also work hard to address inequities in out-of-school learning opportunities by providing free tutoring, cocuricular clubs, teams, camps, and summer experiences, and give our kids purposeful homework that keeps them learning when they leave school.

It’s convenient to blame America’s educational decline on the COVID-19 pandemic and school closures, but in truth, the dysfunction dates back decades. My latest op-ed in @TheMessenger brnw.ch/21wDRy4

A Parenting is now available! My husband and I wrote this book to help busy parents make playtime with their own children more educational. It's filled with practical resources and packed with lists of activities that are fun for parents and kids! brnw.ch/21wDPhs

My latest piece in the @dailynews about the 124 days (yes 124 days!) it took for students to get their state reading and math scores back. New York’s educators, parents and students deserve better. brnw.ch/21wDMdU lessons/?clearUserState=true

Thank you @CBSNewYork for highlighting the Mental Health Club at our HSLA-MA. I’m so proud of our scholars for creating a safe space to discuss their mental health. Each of our schools has a social & emotional learning specialist to equip students with the support they may need.
A student-led mental health club became a popular and powerful resource for teens at Success Academy, which is setting a new standard for campuses everywhere. @tvjessi hears from the students about how it's helped them. cbsloc.al/3QlFZDt

Hands-on learning experiences are vital for children’s education. On a ferry tour today of lower Manhattan, our scholars got to see the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges and the Statue of Liberty, bringing the lessons from the classroom alive in real life!
The Brooklyn Bridge is one of our favorite locations to take our scholars for their fall project based learning unit. The unit ends with our scholars visiting the different types of bridges all across NYC that they’ve spent time learning about. #insidesuccess

25 years ago, the NYS legislature authorized charter schools, providing parents with better, public options for their childrens' educations. Now, 143k students in NYC are enrolled at 274 charter schools, including 21,500 at our 53 @SuccessCharters brnw.ch/21wDbbw

The nation’s next superheroes won’t necessarily wear capes - they will excel at math. Math is so important at Success Academy because it helps our scholars develop the intellectual capital necessary for the innovations of the next century. brnw.ch/21wCZTR
