WNYC Report: How MS-13 Is Affecting Immigrant Communities



I was listening to this report, How MS-13 Is Affecting Immigrant Communities, and I thought that as teachers we should be informed about what happens in the lives of our students to better understand and support them. 


"In a 3-part series in partnership with NPRSarah Gonzalez, WNYC's youth and families reporter, reports on MS-13 on Long Island — how the gang targets people for violence, why the Trump administration blames the wave of unaccompanied minors who have settled in the area, even though police say they’re more likely to be victims than perpetrators of MS-13 gang violence"

Teaching Beauties

July 2017 Accomplishments 

Teaching in high-needs public schools can be challenging. However, when we work hard and collaborate with teacher and administrator colleagues around the city, beauties and nice surprises come our way. Let's keep moving forward and challenge the obstacles to get our job done the right way. 

Memories to remember and look back to
