"Liberating our youth through literacy one page at a time."
Harlem Community School District is among the top 3 districts in NYC for progress made in ELA for the 2023-2024 school year!!!
Congratulations to all of the incredible efforts of our teachers, families, and school communities!
Our superintendent’s vision is to create a culture of reading where students are always carrying a book and discussing their thoughts about what they are reading. Throughout the year, our superintendent chooses a book for the book club along with a series of discussion questions. Students from schools around the district sign up with their class to participate. At the end of the month, students are visited by our superintendent and discuss their thoughts on what they read.
The purpose of the HCSD ELA Instructional Learning Series is to support a learning culture around promising practices in ELA instruction consistent with each component of the literacy block. Click here to check out our videos!
