Good morning. It’s Amy with Chalkbeat New York.
Getting an inside look at educators’ best practices is one of the highlights of my job, and it’s why I enjoy our “How I Teach” column so much. This week, I talked with Jude Julien, a founding teacher of the Virtual Innovators Academy, NYC’s first fully remote high school. He’s working hard at making his online classroom into a strong community, and he recently earned a top honor — Math for America’s Muller Award — for his engaging, supportive, and effective teaching strategies. See how he does it.

Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.
