About
Instruction: Teachers College brings together a breadth of academic disciplines unmatched by any other graduate school of education within a single institution. Our name notwithstanding, the college, from its inception has focused not only on pre-K-12 classroom education, but also on adult learning, leadership, health, psychology, nutrition, movement sciences, art, music education and more. This vision of education (today embodied in 76 academic programs across 10 academic departments) supports learning that broadly enables the development not only of individual students, but of families, communities, cities and nations. Teachers College's 170 full-time tenure-track faculty includes some of the most nationally and internationally prominent and widely respected thinkers, researchers and practitioners in their various fields. Policy research is a major strength, with a core group of faculty members who have directly influenced national legislation or state legislation in early childhood education, community colleges, school integration, social services, school finance, national learning standards, charter school development and funding of national health programs. The college's Cowin Conference Center has helped establish the college as a national center for debates on these and other issues. The college served as host to a live and nationally webcast debate between the education advisers of the two former presidential nominees, as well as host of major addresses by the US Secretary of Education and two New York City public school chancellors. TC faculty are also widely known for innovative curriculum development in academic subjects; health education focused on schools; nutrition education; organizational psychology; developmental psychology; and more.
