The mission of the PS 64 ILT is to support, refine, and elevate our instructional community in fostering students who are self-motivated lifelong learners and leaders who build upon their personal strengths to positively contribute to our global society.

We believe...

• Students will become more agentic and aware as they engage in critical thinking habits on their own

• Students should communicate using both academic and conversational language

• Students should collaborate with each other to strategically reason through ideas and problems

• Students should be fully engaged in co-constructing knowledge through student-centered instruction

• Students must be challenged to develop habits of mind that build perseverance through constructive struggle and descriptive feedback provided by teacher and peers
