The Bank Street Education provides school systems—districts, states, and other education management organizations—and philanthropic foundations with guidance and services to develop and spread strong teaching practice across classrooms. The Ed Center combines Bank Street College's deep understanding of how children develop (emotionally, socially, and cognitively) and how adults learn best, with hard-won lessons learned in stakeholder engagement and project management from instructional improvement work within the nation’s largest urban district. This marriage of the College’s institutional capacity, including access to an expert network of faculty and alumni, with the recent addition of seasoned school district leaders uniquely positions the Ed Center to support systems level change to impact student learning experiences at scale.
The Bank Street Education Center works to customize professional learning experiences, co-constructing each partnership to meet schools system leaders and teachers where they are.
