Pre-Student Teaching Experience

Teacher Education

New York City School communities reflect the diversity of being in and of the city. 

With over 1 million students that attend public and independent schools across NYC, each school is a reflection of the students and communities that they serve. From specialized high schools, early childhood centers, and visual & performing arts schools, to innovative independent schools, our aim in Teacher Education is to introduce students to a broad spectrum of educational opportunities that are available at our partner schools. 

At the start of their teaching experience in the Department of Teaching and Learning, students will have the opportunity to engage in coursework and learning partner experiences that will support the foundation of understanding of teaching and learning approaches and strategies. The fieldwork component of courses will allow students to participate in learning experiences with our NYC school partners.

Our Teacher Education program is excited to engage Emerging Teachers in learning opportunities that will help prepare them for their Student Teaching experience and shape them as lifelong educators.
