“HVA gave me hope for what school can be and what charter schools are…”
The only charter schools in New York offering Montessori through the International Baccalaureate (IB).
Engagement is not about entertaining students but designing learning experiences that cultivate intrinsic motivation, metacognition and deep thinking.
Maria Montessori pioneered self-direction in learning. At HVA we foster student self-direction with structures that guide and empower students to take ownership of their learning.
We teach respectful independence rather than obedience. To create a society in which everyone can participate as equals, every child must learn to think independently.
We embrace culturally responsive teaching and offer students a rich, meaningful, and cognitively demanding curriculum.
Mindfulness fosters inner peace and teaches students empathy and emotional self-management.
Deep understanding requires that students apply knowledge in complex and unfamiliar contexts. As Ted Sizer said, “The real test for students is when they are presented with something unfamiliar and asked to use what they have learned.”
Curriculum should cultivate higher order cognitive skills and be designed around big ideas and intriguing questions that spark students’ intellectual curiosity. #deeperlearningisHVA #learning #curiosity #curriculum
Performance assessment requires students to produce the authentic work of the discipline. It measures the quality of student thinking and depth of understanding through open-ended questions and complex tasks. #deeperlearningisHVA #learning #students
Restorative discipline requires students to take responsibility for their actions and repair the harm they've done. It is instructive, not just punitive. #deeperlearningisHVA #students #SEL
As Alfie Kohn says, if a child is off-task perhaps the problem is not the child but the task! Students are intrinsically motivated when we design learning experiences that are intriguing, challenging, and inherently valuable.
Becoming a great teacher is not about acquiring a set of techniques to be copied and repeated. It's about developing a deep understanding that can be applied in any instructional situation. #deeperlearningisHVA #teacher #careers
HVA is at the leading edge of deeper learning. What is deeper learning? Stay tuned… #deeperlearningisHVA #deeperlearning #charterschools
HVA holiday party is rockin’ in Harlem!
We make sure all books are the highest quality, and then we give students choice, which makes them even more excited to read! #harlemvillageacademies #currentlyreading
The sublime sound of @johnlegend - and the entire Beacon Theatre is singing along.
Singing in the rain! Inspired by @GlblCtzn
First day of school. Each child is a bright light!
Dispatch still making everyone happy…

You want class readings? Auden gave "the hardest class in history" at Michigan in 1941: 6,000 pages of reading. To immerse you in poetry, you had to memorize long poems, like at least 8 cantos of Dante, plus you had to translate a poem from a language YOU DIDN'T KNOW to English
