“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” 
THIS IS THE BEST INVITATION YOU'VE RECEIVED ALL YEAR
JOIN US FOR WPSBA'S 60TH ANNUAL MEETING & DINNER on June 9th starring Commissioner Betty Rosa as keynote speaker. She'll be using her time to talk about NYSED's work on approved pathways to graduation requirements. But equally exciting is the fact that we'll be back in person this year at Crabtree's Kittle House in Chappaqua (register through your District Clerk).
2022 TEACHER OF THE YEAR IS INSPIRING TO ALL
KURT RUSSELL, THIS YEAR'S NATIONAL TEACHER OF THE YEAR, shares that his strategy for making an impact is to be a small part of a larger change. He believes in student growth through using a culturally relevant curriculum. And his philosophy is to give students a different perspective so that all voices can be heard in a safe space.
LET THE LESSONS OF OTHERS GUIDE THE WAY TO UPK
AS COLORADO KICKS OFF THE PROCESS of stabilizing a disparate patchwork of preschools into an equitable state-wide system, they are looking at the few states that have already made this transition. Thanks to the work of 4 other states, there is already data on many of the challenges such as half day vs full day and teacher qualifications. As NYS adds funding for additional PreK slots, schools can look for suggestions on how to provide a quality, play-based atmosphere for our littlest learners.
