Educational equity - a moral imperative for the 21st century.
Teachers College to Partner with 10 Public Schools in Harlem
Teachers College has received a $5 million grant from the GE Foundation to create an intensive new partnership with a group of 10 public schools in Harlem.
The schools have graduated to a "different league," proclaimed a triumphant Mayor Bloomberg in Harlem, announcing a meteoric rise in test scores at the end of June. But do these buoyant results and sparking celebrations around the state truly gauge student progress? TC's Luis Huerta states his opinion in the New York Sun.

TC's 2008 graduates -- at both the masters and doctoral level -- are a diverse and diversely talented group.
TC alumna Melissa Pelletier Boyd, who has taught at York Preparatory High School in New York City, appeared on CNBC's "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch" in June to dicuss the power of teaching.
The recent news-making study by TC's Joan Jerffri of aging artists in NYC and their successful strategies for remaining active is now the focus of a segment on NPR's All Things Considered. The artists, all older than 62, have spent their careers learning how to live well and cheaply.
