At PS 64Q, we believe every child deserves the chance to succeed. We work hard to understand each student’s culture and experiences so we can help them think critically and grow into strong leaders for life.

PS 64Q Instructional Focus

At PS64Q, we want to get better at teaching by following the Chancellor's Four Pillars, our District 27 goals, and the Next Generation Learning Standards (NGLS). We will use data to make learning fun, interesting, and challenging for every student. Our goal is to create different learning experiences that help everyone succeed!

Theory of Action

 

PS 64Q's Interactive Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) Approach

Open-Ended Options: We ask questions, use different ways to learn, and offer various tasks.

Wondering Approach (4Es): We look into new ideas, explain what we learn, expand on our thoughts, and check our understanding.

Learning Targets: We focus on clear goals, spend less time lecturing, and do more group work based on what we learn from assessments.

Student-Centered: We make sure that learning revolves around students. We have clear success criteria, provide support tools, and emphasize social-emotional learning.

Expected Outcome: By using this approach, we aim to improve academic results for all students.
