Printer-friendly version

Teachers and administrators at Osmond A. Church, P.S./M.S. 124 in Queens, New York talk frankly about how they guided this racially diverse, overwhelmingly low income school from mediocre performance in the 1990s to today, when the school has achieved some of the highest proficiency rates not only in New York City but in New York State. Topics will include how Osmond A. Church handles school atmosphere issues, student needs, and parent engagement, as well as how it helps teachers provide excellent instruction tied to a deep, rich curriculum. This is an excellent opportunity to hear teachers and administrators from a school that is setting new standards of excellence within the largest school district in the country.
