#Science rocks. Cultivating #curiosity: priceless. These students @StMarkHarlem will tell you so; thanks to @ConEdison for the unit that is fascinating them. For a full video with an audible "Whoa!" at this experiment—check out St. Mark-Harlem's Instagram.

"If I’m being honest, you can’t really manufacture fortitude. You can exercise it with practice, but I learned I already had it." -Leslie Hernandez, @StMarkHarlem teacher, #fortitude finder, modeler of #resilience

More of us could use that class: "As a P.E. teacher, I teach three-year-olds to 14-year-olds, so I think all day about how I differentiate audiences, and I use a lot of what I learned in a diversity class from undergrad at @suny_cortland." partnershipnyc.org/a-driven-educa… @SHAPE_America

"You never know who is watching...so I wake up every day glad to come in. Every day I’m figuring out: how am I going to mold lives today? What am I going to bring in new today? I don’t want to be an example of laziness." @StMarkHarlem's Mr. J: partnershipnyc.org/a-driven-educa… #teacher

Can't do contact sports in PE? Then learn to bowl. But bowl with the eye of the tiger, like this @StMarkHarlem champ. partnershipnyc.org/a-driven-educa… @GoBowlingdotcom

"I need to be here...I didn’t think twice about coming back in. I’ll take that risk, I’ll get vaccinated, I’ll do whatever I need to do." @StMarkHarlem teacher Lavance Johnson takes over the Post. Need motivation? He's got it. partnershipnyc.org/a-driven-educa… #zeal @NCEATALK

"When I started last year, David Ellis, the librarian, came to me and said, you don’t understand the importance of the job you are doing. He asked: how many male teachers did you have growing up?" @StMarkHarlem teacher Mr. J reflects: partnershipnyc.org/a-driven-educa… @PGeducator

“There is always space for one more child”—a lesson Chinique Pressley learned from a nun @StMarkHarlem. Also, a clear vision of Catholic school enrollment. partnershipnyc.org/harlem-educato… @NCEATALK

The coolest thing on Zoom this week: Author and #Newberry #CorettaScottKing #NationalBookAward honoree @OneCrazyRita popped into @StMarkHarlem! Great to have her back. Thanks to librarian and our own resident poet @artbydellis for making the fun happen.

Schools that stay safe together, stay together. @StMarkHarlem @PartnershipPost

“I did it! I did it!” =What teachers most want to hear from students. One @StMarkHarlem's journey to hearing that in a new way: partnershipnyc.org/harlem-educato… #teachers @ArchNY_Schools

Showing off your mama worm, like you do. h/t @StMarkHarlem #Welovescience #earthscience

“I did it! I did it!” When @StMarkHarlem teacher Chinique Pressley heard those words as 8th grader Jamila got into the high school of her choice, it was the sound of 5 years of work and relationships paying off. More in today's Post: partnershipnyc.org/harlem-educato… #BlackMindsMatter

.@KSchulten of the @nytimes says you should be like our own St. Mark-Harlem colleague David Ellis this month. You heard her; get going! She shares one way in "Bring Poetry to an Unexpected Place," below. nytimes.com/2017/04/03/lea… #nationalpoetrymonth @artbydellis @StMarkHarlem

Still Easter, still rejoicing: "Going into the building everyday and seeing the kids laughing...seeing their teachers supporting them...is a blessing in itself. It is the same hope that Jesus Christ gave us when he died and came back." partnershipnyc.org/finding-hope-t… @NY_Arch

The challenge: cultivate fine motor skills in #physicaleducation class with both in-person and remote learners. The solution? #DIY #foosball. Let the games begin! h/t LaVance Johnson from @StMarkHarlem, #PE teacher extraordinaire.

“I have lost a lot but have gained much more than I thought I would. Being a part of the Saint Mark family has given me a different perspective, loyalty, friendship, perseverance and family.” @PartnershipPost @StMarkHarlem partnershipnyc.org/finding-hope-t…

"I...have lost family members, I have lost a job...The loss this year has swallowed me up more than once. However, here I am today stronger than I was yesterday, better than I was last week and more equipped for the unknown than I have ever been." partnershipnyc.org/finding-hope-t… #Easter
