Final Blog Post for the 2018-2019 School Year.  We are finally here, the last week of the 2018-2019 school year.  On Thursday & Friday last week, Jen, Nadine, and I had the opportunity to work with the Urban Assembly and Facebook to develop a new partnership around integrating Social Emotional Learning with Career Development.  In particular, we are developing a new course that will launch in the fall with our 9th graders that will introduce students to how technology professionals bring ideas to products.  This new course (the name is still TBD) will introduce students to product development and design thinking, expose them to the wide variety of career paths in science and technology, and provide them with multiple opportunities to see real-world applications of the social-emotional skills they are learning with Ms. Cassandra in her SEL class.  One main objective of this course is to find that spark within each of our students and fan it into flames of inspiration and passion around a variety of career paths in science, technology and engineering.  In so doing, this course will sit as the chief mechanism by which we integrate our newest students into UAI's mission and vision.

As the year comes to a close, we are embarking on an exciting new adventure with a brand new partner.  That is the beauty of the work we do in schools.  It is always changing, never boring, and constantly challenging us to be creative, develop new ideas, and be better each day for our students, their future, and ultimately, through their achievements in the world,  our own.
 
Congratulations on yet another year well done!  We have worked hard to make it so!  Thank you, and enjoy these last three days of the 2018-19 school year!

Penultimate Blog Post for the 2018-2019 School Year.  It's hard to believe, but we are here at the last full week of school and the 2nd to last blog post for the 2018-2019 school year.  For those who were able to join us at Friday's staff party, it was another celebration with the UAI family and it together we toasted the massive success of the Chancellor's visit.  Next week we cap our successes as we celebrate our graduates in 8th and 12th grade, and then we are off for the summer!

    • Personal Appliances.  All refrigerators must be emptied, scrubbed cleaned and unplugged.  Same for any microwaves.  These items MUST be stored in a locked closet over the summer.  If they are not, they will be tossed.  They are magnets for pests.

Image result for how are you feeling today pet heaven 
June Check In.  Yesterday, someone gave this to me at the start of a meeting to ask us to check in.   I'm not gonna lie.  I said, I am solid three, but after the staff party on Friday, I'm hoping to move to that guy in 2.  Knowing how hard each of you work, I think a fair number must be feeling like #3, too.   I totally get it!

This is an emotional career.  We all put our hearts and souls into our work each hour of every day.  When we win and kids thrive, there is no better feeling of accomplishment and worth.  But we aren't yet winning every day.  So, when we miss the mark, we feel it in our core when our students fall short.  We are definitely on the right path, but we feel the growing pains as we continue upward on the journey.  But I want to take a moment to center us on Picture 2 or Picture 4.  I want to take a moment to smell our roses and appreciate our achievements as we sail into the last few days of the year.













Community Satisfaction is at an all time high!  Our recent school survey results show that our 

parents, students and teachers are increasingly satisfied with the work we do.  By survey results, we have improved in ALL categories on our Learning Environment Survey with our biggest jumps in Collaborative Teachers & Effective Leadership.  We are working well together as a team!

School Instructional Foci.  Our focus on Look-Fors in student thinking, and Effective Circulation with Assessment & Feedback has had an incredible impact on our teaching and classroom instruction.  Overall, our Danielson ratings in Domain 3 were up, with particular increase in quality in student discussion and student engagement - leading to significantly improved overall teacher observations.  In short, more students were asked to think about more challenging tasks.  Because they thought more, were challenged more, and asked to do more our classrooms were on fire this year!

Student Achievement.  Our classroom instruction and elevated quality of teacher thinking & planning about student thinking and learning led to increased performance.  The Middle School cut scores are hot off the presses.  Overall 92% of our middle school students met the cut score (i.e. met minimum requirements for promotion) in ELA and 90% in math.  A typical year for UAI is in the mid 80s for both.  So, even though we don't have the final scores yet, the preliminary data looks amazing!  In addition, student performance on the Global Regent is strong.  We don't have their curved scores, but many of our students scored 4/5 on their essays and about 75% of them are on track to pass!  In addition, May predictive regents show increased passing rates across the board.   When you're in the weeds (like now), it's hard to appreciate the impact of all the hard work you've done.  Take a step back and breath it in.  We're well on our way to excellence!

Our Work Around Uncovering Implicit Bias has been Scary but Brave.  As the adults in our community, we took a brave step into examining and uncovering our own implicit biases  That work culminated with consultancies that had teachers working together to help one another honestly confront hidden biases and strategize to protect our students from them.  It was a first step, but the feedback was overwhelmingly positive and this work and these structures will continue into the next school year.  Next year, we will enter into this work as the second cohort of the work that Paul Forbes began with us in March.  I'm excited to bring his work and our consultancies together so that we can create classrooms that ignite the passion of all of our students.

Social Emotional Learning and Resilient Scholars.  Our work with Social Emotional Learning and our partnership with the Urban Assembly's Resilient Scholars program has garnered UAI some great attention.  UAI presented at conferences in Albany and here in New York around our work in integrating social emotional learning with counseling goals and our work with integrating literacy into the work of social emotional development.  Special shout outs go to Ms. Marni, Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Cassandra, Ms. Lauren and Ms. Jen.  Because of all the work they do, they brought some sunshine to UAI and put us on the map!

Student Celebrations.  In addition to SEL, our clubs and other student achievements have put UAI's mark on the world.  Congrats to Tom and Nina on the UAI's Running Club 3rd place finish last week's race!  Congrats to Tom and the Green Team for their stellar work with the Hydroponic Farm.Congrats to Ms. Vanessa and all the Girls Inc Team for celebrating our students talents with the  Guitar Club, Spice Steppers,  Homework Help and so many, many more program.  The list of student achievements - particularly with our College Office and all over the school goes on and on.  Take a moment and find the victories within your own UAI story, share it with a colleague or friend, and revel in the awesomeness of which you were a vital part this year.

I've been on a Queen and Freddie Mercury kick lately.  It must be all the karaoke I've been doing.  To quote him, we at UAI are the Champions!

    What an AWESOME week!  Last week was super active.  Nina and Tom took our Running Club for their first race on Randall's Island;  Jen pulled off our very first 8th grade Prom with style and panache, and Kelly wrapped up a fantastic year of assemblies with our annual College Walk! Way to go UAI!!





    The Chancellor is Coming to Visit UAI!  Last week, I received a phone call from our Superintendent asking to visit on Friday, June 14th.  I'm seeing Fred at the Affinity Principal's retreat on Monday, so I will confirm details and share the agenda for the day as soon as I can.  I do know that we will be visiting Middle School classrooms during 2nd period, so please use PD time this week and next to prepare classroom and hallway bulletin boards.  HS teachers you'll be giving course final exams, however, we will be touring the school, so please prepare hallway bulletin boards (post work that celebrates student achievement!).  It is not the most ideal time, but we are always awesome, and I am proud of all the hard work each of you do every single day.  I am always happy to share it with anyone at any time!

    Speaking of HS Final Exams.  High School Final exams will be on Thursday 13JUN19 and Friday 14JUN19.  We will not be having a special schedule on those days.  Rather the final exams will happen during the regular class period on assigned days.  All 8th Earth Sci/CC Algebra/Living Env. and all HS students must take a final in your course.  If you are a regents-based course, modify a regents exam to give them during your class time (E.g. either the MC or Short Answer/Essay).

    • Thursday 13JUN19: Math & Science, PE/Dance/SEL/ART classes will be giving a final exam or project in their class period. 
    • Friday 14JUN19: All Social Studies, English, Foreign Language and PE/Dance SEL, and Art will be giving a final exam or project in their class period.
