Office of Clinical Studies: Mission Statement

The Office of Clinical Studies was established in 2000 with the specific intent to coordinate all the field-related initiatives of the students and faculty in the Department of Teaching and Learning. Its commitment is to foster a greater collaboration between the Department and the variety of educational settings in NYC and in doing so helping NYU make an impact on education.

Among its goals are:

To establish relationships with appropriate NYC public schools and other educational sites for the placement of graduate and undergraduate students.
To ensure a stronger connection between the campus-based faculty and field faculty and staff.
To facilitate faculty research in NYC schools.
To strengthen the transition from theory to practice.
To provide appropriate mentoring to students throughout their field experiences.
To support the University's initiative and program with the world of education.
To play a key role in developing a corps of future teachers.
