  1. Equity by design: residency-focused teacher education

    12 SEPT

    Equity by design: residency-focused teacher education

    We speak with Dr. Diana Turk, Chair of the Department of Teaching and Learning and Director of Teacher Education at NYU. Students in NYU’s unique teacher residency program work full-time in classrooms, for which they are paid, making it possible for students without a lot of money to attend. By design, the program attracts BIPOC students. Students receive support from NYU faculty, both on location in their schools and online. They attend classes in the evenings, virtually. The program is uncompromisingly justice- and equity-centered. The post Equity by design: residency-focused teacher education first appeared on Ethical Schools.

    What Would YOU do? Walling Out or Welcoming In?

    What boundaries should a school set on student speech, if any, in order to foster social-emotional learning, civil discourse, and friendship among students?
