core values

Dreamers

Use student data intentionally to plan instruction, identify learning gaps, and set clear goals for growth.

Respect

Design challenging, standards-aligned learning targets.

Design lessons and learning tasks that promote the cognitive demand of the standards through higher-order thinking, problem solving, and real-world application.

Empathy

Launch the lesson within first 5-7 minutes of class.

Model, demonstrate, and guide students through clear, step-by-step instruction with think-alouds, exemplars, and success criteria (Gradual Release Process).

Highlight and revisit academic and domain-specific vocabulary.

Attitude

Provide targeted, differentiated support, based on historical or on the spot data, through flexible small groups that address specific student needs and accelerate learning.

Mentoring

Use frequent checks for understanding, formative assessments, questioning and student feedback to adjust instruction and ensure mastery.

Safety

Use strategies like word walls and sentence stems to deepen vocabulary.

Design opportunities for structured student talk, making thinking visible.

Pose open-ended, higher-order questions that require reasoning.

Hold students accountable for using evidence and academic vocabulary in their responses.

Accessing Your NYC Students.net Email (Gmail)

The Department of Education has issued these accounts for students to access TeachHub which provide access to applications and a new student email ending in "@nycstudents.net". This email account can be accessed through https://teachhub.schools.nyc or https://www.gmail.com. The "@nycstudents.net" email account is tied to a Google account and it will be used in the fall and beyond for students to access Google Classroom Drive and Gmail.

  • To retrieve your account ID and password, go to Student Account Self Service
  • Enter your 9-digit Student ID (OSIS) number. (You can find your Student ID number on a report card, your student ID card, or in your NYCSA account.)
  • Enter your birthday.
  • Click Continue.

If the information you enter matches your student record, your username will be displayed.

Your student ID is your username followed by @nycstudents.net. For example, if your username is JaneD, your student account ID is JaneD@nycstudents.net.

If you haven't already set up a password, you will be asked to set one up.

  • Pick a password that only you will know.
  • Re-enter your password.
  • Click Update Password.
  • Visit TeachHub

Use your DOE account to sign into TeachHub which provides quick links to:

  • G Suite, Microsoft O365, and Zoom (using secure central accounts)
  • Student report cards (available in the Student Documents icon)

Students using their DOE accounts will have access to Gmail. They cannot access Outlook email, although their account will get them into other O365 tools like Teams and OneNote.
