Overview

The Early Childhood Education programs at The City University of New York emphasizes deep knowledge of human development, learning processes, instructional strategies, and subject matter. All courses utilize technology and focus on how teaching, learning, and assessment connect. Special attention is given to how issues of diversity – of culture, language, family, and learning styles – can best be used to positively impact schools and schooling in urban settings.

Program faculty are scholars and practitioners, researchers and teachers who are dedicated to continually expanding their knowledge of teaching and learning. They work closely with educators in the public schools of New York City to provide rich fieldwork and student teaching experiences that enable program participants to combine educational theory with practice.

The programs lead to New York State certification as a teacher of 0 - 8 year olds.
