On May 24, we hosted our End of Year Celebration at Tweed Courthouse. Throughout the year, our schools worked tirelessly to host visitors from all over the NYC DOE. We held this event to recognize their hard work in promoting collaboration and their strong dedication to sharing and developing their own promising practices. Around 150 visitors traveled from within all five boroughs to attend the event and much of Tweed Central staff took time to join in on this evening of sharing and celebration.

The evening began with opening remarks from Chancellor Fariña, Deputy Chancellor for Teaching and Learning Phil Weinberg, Office of Interschool Collaborative Learning Senior Executive Director Lam Lamson, and Showcase Schools Executive Director Chau Ngo-Rayman. A "Share Fair" followed in which our schools provided artifacts and detailed their year with the program. Schools reflected on their work this year as leaders, learners, and agents of collaboration. They shared with visitors how participating in the program helped them grow in their own practices and how visitors learned from and engaged with promising practices during Showcase visits. The event rounded out with a "Story Slam" in which a few our principals shared their journeys of growth of their respective promising practices.
 

A big thank you to all who helped make this event a success!
