Proud to announce an expansion of my structured literacy grant initiative for schools in my district. This year I was able to secure $120,000 for @PS10Brooklyn, @PS39PTA, @PS130PTA to provide Orton-Gillingham and other literacy training to teachers at these three great schools.

@ps131K15 @NYCDOED15 @StamatinaH This was such a wonderful and inspiring visit! Thank you @StamatinaH @ps131K15

The February Principal Meeting at PS131 was a tremendous success! Thank you to everyone who participated. @StamatinaH @NYCDOED15

@Bobby4Brooklyn @PS130PTA Thank you for being such a wonderful support to our community! @Bobby4Brooklyn !

Amazing afternoon celebrating PS 130’s history making Brooklyn   Lions chess team! These 2nd and 3rd graders are the first school from BK to ever win the primary open at the NYS Scholastic chess championships!

Thank you @Bobby4Brooklyn @ShahanaFromBK @RepDanGoldman for celebrating PS 130’s historic win at the NYS Scholastic Chess Championships yesterday! Amazed by these students and their coaches and grateful for the commitment and support of these partners! @NYCDOED15 @NYCSchools

Being in a bad mood is not a license to be unkind. Being sensitive is not an excuse for being abusive. Respect is a social responsibility. Treating it as optional reveals a lack of concern for others. A mark of character is maintaining civility when things don’t go your way.

Honored to have been fully appointed as Principal of PS 130 The Parkside School in District 15, the place I’ve always called home. @NYCDOED15 @NYCSchools @CSABKLYN @AlpapCsa

@DimitresPantel2 Thank you! I’ll always remember where I got my start!

@CedermarkS So proud of you! Much success!

First 1st Grade School Study @ PS130 ❤️

Leaders shouldn't aim to be liked. They should strive to be respected.   We don’t have to agree with every decision. We need to align with their visions and admire their values.   Trust isn’t granted for competence alone. It's earned through caring about people and principles.

One of the absolute joys of this profession is when kids you’ve known since Pre-K randomly pop in to surprise you, and you get to see the intelligent, caring, and talented people they’ve become. ❤️

An inspiring day with the brightest and most dedicated school leaders out there at today’s CSA conference! @FollowCSA @AlpapCsa @NYCDOED15 @NYCSchools

@NYCDOED15 @MS136DEWEY Go Myrna! ❤️

Great visit with Principal Myrna Gonzalez-Rojas @MS136DEWEY. Deputy Superintendent had the pleasure of meeting with the Principal’s Advisory Board. Great ideas and solutions from students to improve the school! #letthemleadtheway @DOEChancellor @DanWeisbergNYC @ruxdanika

Had a great day kicking off the new school year learning alongside the most intelligent and committed educators in NYC. So proud to be starting my 15th year in D15! @NYCDOED15

@RonDeSantis Why in God’s name is this appearing on my feed. 😂

We want to know: Are you with us? 🇺🇸

Great start to @NYCSchools Summer Rising program at PS32 today with some of my favorite people in Brooklyn! Excited to spend the next six weeks with some of the smartest, coolest kids in NYC. @NYCDOED15 @CECDistrict15 @DOEChancellor

Leadership is not about pulling people to follow your path. It's about shining enough light for them to find their own route. Bosses aim to wield power. They issue commands to maintain control. Leaders strive to empower. They delegate authority to unleash potential.

Principal Cavanaugh at PS15 in RedHook is leading they way as a Pioneer creating an environment where students with special needs are respected, valued, learning and thriving! AND they’re in The NY Times! nytimes.com/2023/06/20/nyr… @ruxdanika @DOEChancellor

Acts of kindness that feel small to us have a big impact on others. Research: kids and adults underestimate how tiny acts of generosity lift others' moods. There's no easier way to make someone's day than to offer a compliment, give a little gift, or send a handwritten note.

Joy, love, and pride was everywhere at PS58’s first PRIDE party, hosted by our Rainbow Club this afternoon! 🌈 ❤️ @NYCSchools @NYCDOED15 @CECDistrict15
