Great to be at MS 185 for the Queens Borough Middle School Debate Championship. Proud of our District 26 teams from MS 67, MS 74, and MS 158. Debate builds critical thinking, respectful dialogue, and confidence. Best of luck to all students competing today!

Grateful to join Chancellor Samuels, FDC Giunta & Pres Aviles for an important conversation about the future of our schools. Proud of the students who spoke about the importance of feeling physically & emotionally safe in school and the power of strong partnerships with families.

Tom Brady: "To be successful at anything, you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it. No shortcuts."

Bobby Knight didn’t believe in luck - he believed in preparation. "The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare." - Bobby Knight Top performers look to outwork you and outperform you. 6 Preparation Habits of Top Performers👇

When you win, be kind. When you are ignored, be kind. When you are stuck, be kind. When you are upset, be kind. When disappointed, be kind. When you are in doubt, be kind. When you are scared, be kind. Being kind is not a sign of weakness. Kindness will always serve you well.

Honored to welcome our new Chancellor Kamar Samuels at yesterday’s Townhall back home to District 9—where his journey in education began. Grateful for our community & excited for new beginnings as we continue strengthening our schools. #ComeHomeToDistrict9 @DOEChancellor

I’ve seen talented teams struggle. And I’ve seen connected teams win. The difference is leadership. Positive leaders invest in relationships. They communicate. They connect. They commit. They care. They lead with love and accountability. They support their people and challenge them to be their best.

Hello, @NYCSchools! I am deeply honored to be serving as the next chancellor of the New York City Public Schools. I want to take this moment to introduce myself.

If your idea of emotional intelligence is staying calm, agreeable and “unbothered” no matter what, that is not emotional intelligence. That is a costume, not a skill set.

Incredible math learning at PS 221Q! Ms. Rothenberg led rich discourse connecting area to multiplication, while Ms. Schneider’s students used visuals and sentence starters to compare “more,” “fewer,” and “same.” Thank you PS 221 for fostering joyful, language rich math learning!

@WinningCoaches John Wooden said, "Don't whine. Don't complain. Don't make excuses." "Get out there and whatever you're doing do it to the best of your ability." You can't control everything - But you can control how you show up. Attitude. Effort. Ownership.

Remember : Every emotion is okay. Every behavior is not. Elite performers feel everything—frustration, disappointment, pressure. But they don't act on impulse. They regulate. They reset. They respond with intention. Because bad body language doesn't just show weakness... It drags the whole team down.
