Our Vision
The vision of PS/MS 47Q, The Chris Galas School, is to create students who are prepared to be independent, productive members of an increasingly diverse, globalized, and complex world.
Instructional Focus
We will norm assessment practices to obtain accurate data about academic abilities of our students in order to appropriately and effectively plan to close the achievement gap.
Focus/Priority Statement
Our focus is on building the capacity of teachers with opportunities and support in the administration of assessments along with the analysis of data to work toward targeted instruction which will help in closing the achievement gap of our students, specifically those with IEPs. We will accomplish this through monthly grade conferences as well as professional learning opportunities.
