The Riverton Learning Page

Welcome to "The Essential Conversation

Welcome to the Riverton Learning Page. This particular site of discourse is sponsored by Riverton Street Charter School Stakeholders committed to improving the quality of "teaching and learning" throughout New York City and National Heritage Academies.

The goal of this particular "blogsite" is to facilitate "essential conversations" that will positively impact instruction in our schools and subsequently other institutions throughout NHA and the country . We believe in the insightful words of Eric Hoffer who prolifically said: "in times of drastic change, it is the learner who inherits the future, the learned usually find themselves beautifully equipped to live in a world that no longer exists." We see ourselves as learners and have designed this learning page for the purose of sharing ideas, thinking through challenges and promoting promising practices.

We invite you participate as a frequent contributor however request that you adhere to three very simple yet significant norms. The first is that you check in on a weekly basis. The second is that you post respectfully, meaning while it is totally acceptable to debate ideas, it is unacceptable to do so in an inconsiderate manner. On the learning page . . . diplomacy matters. Last but certainly not least, as it is our mission to create grand conversations we ask that your invite a friend and encourage him/her to assist us in improving the quality of teaching and learning for the children of this great city.

Welcome once again and let's begin to "figure it out" together!
