Our Vision
At PS/MS 71 We Believe that
Every Child, in Every Classroom, Every Day
is entitled to:
• An exemplary public education that is academically challenging,
equitable, and inclusive of all learners
• A safe, nurturing and collaborative learning environment that
promotes independent thinking, problem-solving, and
decision- making
• A school environment that promotes positive self-esteem and
cultivates strong partnerships among students, teachers,
families and the community
• A professional learning community where teachers and
students are engaged, empowered, and inspired to become lifelong
learners
Instructional Focus
All students will write across content areas to demonstrate their ability to think critically and make their thinking visible. Students will use writing to effectively express and communicate their opinions, life experiences, and information.
We believe students learn best through:
1. Modeling
2. Accountable Talk
3. Collaboration
4. Scaffolding
5. Workshop Model
