EDUC500-1 | Child Development | 3 | 703 | Ludmila de Amorim Paquete da Costa | TH 4:45-6:45 PM | ||
In this course we will examine the interactions among the cognitive, social, emotional, linguistic, and physical development of children from infancy into adolescence. We will pay close attention to children as makers of meaning in the contexts of their development, including family, school, socioeconomic class, and culture. Through reading classic and current literature, we will attend to some of the larger questions about development, such as the relationship between nature and nurture, the role of developmental theory, and the tension between the search for developmental universals and the reality of individual differences. The goal is to make developmental theory vibrant and meaningful so that the generalized theoretical child comes to enhance and inform how one understands individual children.

EDUC519-1 | Educating Infants and Toddlers: Environments | 3 | 701 | Marjorie Brickley | W 7:00-9:00 PM | ||
In this course graduate students will examine, define and expand the varied meanings of environment as it applies to the early care and education of children birth to three and their families. Participants will analyze and develop environments from a socio-economic, cultural, and developmental perspective, planning for infants and toddlers who develop typically as well as for those with developmental variations, with a special focus on trauma-informed practice. Issues surrounding diversity, anti-bias care and infant mental health are addressed throughout in order to increase the awareness and sensitivity of teacher/caregivers. Graduate students gain experience in designing, setting up, and maintaining nurturing and emotionally responsive environments that promote the development of early literacy, scientific and mathematical thinking, and creativity. Principles of curricular and environmental design and materials selection are grounded in developmental theory. Topics include the relation of physical space to learning and development, scheduling the child’s day, primary caregiving, staff relations, care of the family, and issues in caregiving such as separation, ethics, health and safety. The broad focus includes settings in centers, family child care, and hospitals.

EDUC535-1 | Science for Teachers (Grades N – 6) | 2 | 408/410 | Robert Wallace | T 4:45-6:45 PM | ||
Science for Teachers focuses on developing a science way of thinking and doing in PreK-6th grade classrooms. Each session deepens an understanding that doing science requires direct sensory encounters with the physical world. By experiencing first-hand investigations of physical and biological materials and related phenomena, participants create a range of representations that can uncover existing patterns and concepts. Discussions, readings, and reflective writings deepen and broaden work done with physical materials. Participants will reflect on their own learning as they work to construct meaningful science experiences that respond to the developmental levels of their students and affirm students’ cultural, linguistic, and learning diversity. The course explores evidence-based ways of making sense of the world that support the integration of science inquiry across the curriculum.

EDUC561R-1R | Linguistics: Implications for Teachers | 1 | Online | Tyler Jennings | M 7:00-9:00 PM | 9/9, 9/16, 9/23, 9/30, 10/7, 10/21, 10/28 | Cancelled |
This course is an introduction to the study of language as it applies to educational settings. Participants will learn about the five basic linguistic structures: phonetics and phonology (sounds and sound patterning), morphology (form of words), syntax (arrangement of words), semantics (meaning), and pragmatics (the use of language). Participants will examine language structure as it exists within the larger context of sociolinguistics, equity, and social justice. The course will investigate how students use their full linguistic repertoire in academic settings (translanguaging), how teachers and society at large perceive language varieties, and how teachers value linguistic diversity in classrooms. The course examines the role of the brain in language development (psycholinguistics), language universals, body language, and discourse analysis. The focus of the course will be on the practical application of this knowledge to developing a broader range of instructional strategies to support students’ language proficiency in school.

This course examines the process through which reading and writing are acquired by young children, ages 4-8. We study the ways teachers can support literacy growth for children’s diverse learning needs and styles, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and socioeconomic status. The course explores theoretical frameworks of literacy development as well as practical applications. Graduate students work directly with a child, who is an emergent reader and writer, to develop the skills of close observation, assessment, record keeping, and planning. Graduate students, individually and as a group, analyze the contexts, activities and relationships that support children’s language and literacy learning in early childhood classrooms.

Employing a social constructivist perspective, it prepares teachers to meet the needs of children from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, across a range of learners. During the course, students will work with individual children, plan for small and large groups, and create classroom environments that support a balanced approach to literacy. Particular emphasis will be paid to the ways in which linking assessment and instruction enables teachers to meet the developing needs of individuals and groups, incorporating guidelines from the NYS Standards. Students will learn to create units of study in reading and writing that include all aspects of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Through the experiences in this course, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between reading and writing processes and the roles of the teacher, the family, and the child in those processes.

|||||||
EDUC576-1 | Writing in the Elementary Grades | 2 | 702 | Lynne Einbender | T 4:45-6:45 PM | ||
In this course, participants examine the theories and practices of teaching writing, both as writers and as teachers. The goal of this dual focus is to develop meta-cognitive awareness of one’s own writing process to inform one’s teaching practice. Participants do this through discussing course texts, children’s literature, videos and children’s writing. The course explores: teaching children to select topics, draft, revise, edit and publish their own writing; designing writing curriculum that is inclusive and culturally responsive; using children’s literature to teach writing through concrete observation and inquiry; using writing conferences and assessments to guide curricular decisions; teaching writing mechanics using a constructivist approach; exploring a range of teaching methods and literature to accommodate diverse learners.

|||||||
EDUC613-1 | Understanding and Working with Families of Infants and Toddlers | 2 | 701 | Yasmin Dorrian | M 4:45-6:45 PM | ||
This course helps students understand the psychological underpinnings of parenting across a range of families and contexts. Through class discussion, readings, videos, role play in class and guest speakers, students will develop an understanding of what is involved in working with significant adults in the lives of infants and toddlers. Graduate students will explore the connections among early relationships, brain development, health and later mental health. A multilevel framework utilizes the concepts of containment and holding as a way to understand what parents must provide for their children and what adults must also provide for themselves in order to work effectively with families. Stages of parenting are looked at within the wider lens that incorporates variety among parents, as well as within the same parent at different times. Through practice with their own case material and readings on basic counseling techniques graduate students continue to develop a self- reflective ability that helps them think critically about their responses to families and learn when and how to provide guidance, towards the promotion of mental wellness and prevention of disruptions in development. The course will explore the roles of the teacher and the social worker.

Early Childhood Practicum I and II is a year-long course that provides graduate students the opportunity to integrate theory and practice as they work with a child and family. Practicum I focuses on: 1) observation as the foundation of early childhood assessment and 2) culturally sustaining, family-based practice. Participants learn to observe and record children’s behavior in home, school, and community settings. Through regular observations, participants construct a respectful and increasingly complex understanding of the child within his/her sociocultural context. Special emphasis is placed on recognizing the strengths of the child and family. Participants develop greater awareness of their own perspectives and the ways their personal experiences affect what they notice and how they interpret their observations. Participants begin to integrate adult development, family systems theory, and cultural/linguistic diversity as a basis for developing relationships with the child’s family. This work provides a foundation for Practicum II. Prerequisite: EDUC 803.

Title: There Can Be No Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Without Disabled Teachers As calls for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in higher education came to a crescendo, including at Bank Street, a glaring absence in these conversations was the invisibility of disabled* teachers in teacher education. While the inclusion of intersectionally-disabled students has long been a focus in education, we think equitable education necessitates parallel commitments to going beyond "including" intersectionally-disabled teachers to viewing them as essential "mirrors in classrooms." Our collaborative inquiry will focus on questions of what these supports should look like and how rethinking inclusion in teacher education could translate into more welcoming schools for children. Our potential projects might include accessibility mapping, social story development, curricular analyses, critical personal narratives, or practical guidance on universal design for learning. * We use this term in recognition of the ways ableist policies, procedures, and exclusionary spaces (built and social) disable folx.

Title: Gender and Sexualities in Education In this IMP, we will focus on three inter-related aspects of gender and sexualities in the context of education: 1. In alignment with childhood and adolescent development, what might be important and relevant for students to understand about gender and/or sexualities through the developmental stages of K-8 education? 2. In what ways could students engage in critical gender studies and/or critical sexualities studies through these developmental stages? That is, in what ways could they examine gender and sexualities within larger societal contexts and in relation to issues of (in)justice and (in)equity? 3. What is the history of gender education and sexualities education in the US context, and what implications might our explorations of questions #1 and #2 have upon the future of gender and sexualities education?

EDUC500CR-1CR | Child Development | 3 | Online | Troy Pinkney | TH 7:00-9:00 PM | ||
In this course we will examine the interactions among the cognitive, social, emotional, linguistic, and physical development of children from infancy into adolescence. We will pay close attention to children as makers of meaning in the contexts of their development, including family, school, socioeconomic class, and culture. Through reading classic and current literature, we will attend to some of the larger questions about development, such as the relationship between nature and nurture, the role of developmental theory, and the tension between the search for developmental universals and the reality of individual differences. The goal is to make developmental theory vibrant and meaningful so that the generalized theoretical child comes to enhance and inform how one understands individual children.

Title: The Use of Bibliotherapy for Children in Crisis Bibliotherapy is often used in hospital settings to support children's understanding of illness, identify and express emotions or validate experiences. Certified Child Life Specialists (CCLS) have used books to support children’s learning of a diagnosis or treatment, explore coping strategies, or as a way to demonstrate they are not alone. During our sessions, students will participate in a read-aloud of a different children’s story or book. Together we will map the themes that CCLS could integrate into a patient's/sibling’s plan of care addressing, psychological preparation, coping, play, and expressive arts. Students will develop their own book lists and create activities that align specific themes of the book with child life practice.

Title: There Can Be No Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Without Disabled Teachers As calls for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in higher education came to a crescendo, including at Bank Street, a glaring absence in these conversations was the invisibility of disabled* teachers in teacher education. While the inclusion of intersectionally-disabled students has long been a focus in education, we think equitable education necessitates parallel commitments to going beyond "including" intersectionally-disabled teachers to viewing them as essential "mirrors in classrooms." Our collaborative inquiry will focus on questions of what these supports should look like and how rethinking inclusion in teacher education could translate into more welcoming schools for children. Our potential projects might include accessibility mapping, social story development, curricular analyses, critical personal narratives, or practical guidance on universal design for learning. * We use this term in recognition of the ways ableist policies, procedures, and exclusionary spaces (built and social) disable folx.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
EDUC500ESR-1ESR | Child Development | 3 | Online | Genevieve Lowry | TH 7:00-9:00 PM | ||
In this course we will examine the interactions among the cognitive, social, emotional, linguistic, and physical development of children from infancy into adolescence. We will pay close attention to children as makers of meaning in the contexts of their development, including family, school, socioeconomic class, and culture. Through reading classic and current literature, we will attend to some of the larger questions about development, such as the relationship between nature and nurture, the role of developmental theory, and the tension between the search for developmental universals and the reality of individual differences. The goal is to make developmental theory vibrant and meaningful so that the generalized theoretical child comes to enhance and inform how one understands individual children. For students in fully-online programs only.

Science for Teachers focuses on developing a science way of thinking and doing in PreK-6th grade classrooms. Each session deepens an understanding that doing science requires direct sensory encounters with the physical world. By experiencing first-hand investigations of physical and biological materials and related phenomena, participants create a range of representations that can uncover existing patterns and concepts. Discussions, readings, and reflective writings deepen and broaden work done with physical materials. Participants will reflect on their own learning as they work to construct meaningful science experiences that respond to the developmental levels of their students and affirm students’ cultural, linguistic, and learning diversity. The course explores evidence-based ways of making sense of the world that support the integration of science inquiry across the curriculum. For students in fully-online programs only.

EDUC894ER-1ER | Early Childhood Practicum I: Observing a Child through Family/Cultural Contexts | 2 | Online | Carmen Colón | T 7:00-9:00 PM | ||
Early Childhood Practicum I and II is a year-long course that provides graduate students the opportunity to integrate theory and practice as they work with a child and family. Practicum I focuses on: 1) observation as the foundation of early childhood assessment and 2) culturally sustaining, family-based practice. Participants learn to observe and record children’s behavior in home, school, and community settings. Through regular observations, participants construct a respectful and increasingly complex understanding of the child within his/her sociocultural context. Special emphasis is placed on recognizing the strengths of the child and family. Participants develop greater awareness of their own perspectives and the ways their personal experiences affect what they notice and how they interpret their observations. Participants begin to integrate adult development, family systems theory, and cultural/linguistic diversity as a basis for developing relationships with the child’s family. This work provides a foundation for Practicum II. Prerequisite: EDUC 803. For students in fully-online programs only.

Title: There Can Be No Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Without Disabled Teachers As calls for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in higher education came to a crescendo, including at Bank Street, a glaring absence in these conversations was the invisibility of disabled* teachers in teacher education. While the inclusion of intersectionally-disabled students has long been a focus in education, we think equitable education necessitates parallel commitments to going beyond "including" intersectionally-disabled teachers to viewing them as essential "mirrors in classrooms." Our collaborative inquiry will focus on questions of what these supports should look like and how rethinking inclusion in teacher education could translate into more welcoming schools for children. Our potential projects might include accessibility mapping, social story development, curricular analyses, critical personal narratives, or practical guidance on universal design for learning. * We use this term in recognition of the ways ableist policies, procedures, and exclusionary spaces (built and social) disable folx.

Title: There Can Be No Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Without Disabled Teachers As calls for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in higher education came to a crescendo, including at Bank Street, a glaring absence in these conversations was the invisibility of disabled* teachers in teacher education. While the inclusion of intersectionally-disabled students has long been a focus in education, we think equitable education necessitates parallel commitments to going beyond "including" intersectionally-disabled teachers to viewing them as essential "mirrors in classrooms." Our collaborative inquiry will focus on questions of what these supports should look like and how rethinking inclusion in teacher education could translate into more welcoming schools for children. Our potential projects might include accessibility mapping, social story development, curricular analyses, critical personal narratives, or practical guidance on universal design for learning. * We use this term in recognition of the ways ableist policies, procedures, and exclusionary spaces (built and social) disable folx.

Title: Gender and Sexualities in Education In this IMP, we will focus on three inter-related aspects of gender and sexualities in the context of education: 1. In alignment with childhood and adolescent development, what might be important and relevant for students to understand about gender and/or sexualities through the developmental stages of K-8 education? 2. In what ways could students engage in critical gender studies and/or critical sexualities studies through these developmental stages? That is, in what ways could they examine gender and sexualities within larger societal contexts and in relation to issues of (in)justice and (in)equity? 3. What is the history of gender education and sexualities education in the US context, and what implications might our explorations of questions #1 and #2 have upon the future of gender and sexualities education?

EDUC894ER-1ER | Early Childhood Practicum I: Observing a Child through Family/Cultural Contexts | 2 | Online | Carmen Colón | T 7:00-9:00 PM | ||
Early Childhood Practicum I and II is a year-long course that provides graduate students the opportunity to integrate theory and practice as they work with a child and family. Practicum I focuses on: 1) observation as the foundation of early childhood assessment and 2) culturally sustaining, family-based practice. Participants learn to observe and record children’s behavior in home, school, and community settings. Through regular observations, participants construct a respectful and increasingly complex understanding of the child within his/her sociocultural context. Special emphasis is placed on recognizing the strengths of the child and family. Participants develop greater awareness of their own perspectives and the ways their personal experiences affect what they notice and how they interpret their observations. Participants begin to integrate adult development, family systems theory, and cultural/linguistic diversity as a basis for developing relationships with the child’s family. This work provides a foundation for Practicum II. Prerequisite: EDUC 803. For students in fully-online programs only.

TESL530LR-1LR | Theoretical Foundations: Social, Cultural, and Linguistic Diversity in School | 3 | Online | Jillian Hakemian | W 7:00-9:00 PM | ||
This course explores how major federal and state laws, language policies, and theories of language development (first and second language acquisition, bilingualism, and translingualism) shape English as a new language (ENL) and bilingual program designs. Candidates will analyze how these programs serve diverse students in PreK-12 urban schools, with a special focus on the education of students who are immigrants, including students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE). Candidates will explore immigration to the United States from a sociocultural perspective, investigate the factors that shape immigrant students’ experiences in schools, and how these impact their identity development. Graduate students will reflect on their own beliefs and perceptions about immigrants and emergent bilingual students while identifying the experiences that have contributed to these beliefs and perceptions. They will survey the demographic landscape of a school and evaluate how the school language allocation policy, curricula, and ENL & bilingual programs respond to the legal rights and the linguistic, socio-emotional and academic needs of emergent bilingual students. Based on their comprehensive analysis and principles of social justice, candidates will develop an advocacy plan to address identified needs of emergent bilingual students and their families. For students in TESOL only.

TESL561LR-1LR | Linguistics in Education | 3 | Online | Tyler Jennings | M 7:00-9:00 PM | Cancelled | |
This course is an introduction to the study of language as it applies to educational settings. Participants will learn about the five basic linguistic structures: phonetics and phonology (sounds and sound patterning), morphology (form of words), syntax (arrangement of words), semantics (meaning), and pragmatics (the use of language). Participants will examine language structure as it exists within the larger context of sociolinguistics, equity, and social justice. The course will investigate how students use their full linguistic repertoire in academic settings (translanguaging), how teachers and society at large perceive language varieties, and how teachers value linguistic diversity in classrooms. The course examines the role of the brain in language development (psycholinguistics), language universals, body language, and discourse analysis. In the second half of the course, TESOL candidates will compare the structure and language features of world Englishes to that of other languages most commonly spoken in schools. The focus of the course will be on the practical application of this knowledge to developing a broader range of instructional strategies to support students’ language proficiency in school. Prerequisite: TESL 530. For TESOL students only.

TESL660LR-1LR | TESOL Research & Methodologies (Grades PreK-6) | 3 | Online | Katie Caster | T 7:00-9:00 PM | Cancelled | |
This course explores TESOL methodologies to inform the teaching of English as a new language in grades PreK-6. The course will provide participants with a foundation for thinking about English as a new language (ENL) instruction as being grounded in a deep understanding of both learner and context. Participants will develop an understanding of how student identity, language proficiency levels (entering, emerging, transitional, expanding, and commanding), classroom culture and curriculum, and local and state assessments all impact planning and instruction for ENLs. Using this grounding, participants will determine appropriate language materials, instructional technology, translanguaging strategies, environmental supports, and effective ENL service models to differentiate for the diverse listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities and needs of their emergent bilingual students. Participants will develop skills in collaborating with a range of colleagues to create inclusive learning environments and effective classroom management strategies aimed at integrating emergent bilingual students, including those with developmental variations, fully into their classroom communities. The course will explore how participants can advocate for an integrated and flexible role of ENL service delivery, preparing participants to design both stand-alone and integrated ENL experiences, as well as differentiating existing curriculum to better meet the needs of students. Prerequisite: TESL 870. For TESOL students only.

In this course, participants will review the history of special education as it has impacted students and families from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, focusing on over-representation in the classifications of intellectual disability, emotional disability, and language/learning disabilities. This course will help English as a new language (ENL) teachers examine the intersection between disability and cultural and linguistic diversity. Participants will unpack assumptions about linguistically and culturally diverse families, and understand how various disabilities interact with learning a new language to better discern typical patterns of language development from language-based disabilities. Participants will have the opportunity to become familiar with formal and informal assessments used to evaluate K-12 students and how these apply to emergent bilingual speakers, as well as concepts including validity, reliability, and basic statistical terminology. Participants will collaborate with school professionals to explore strategies for working effectively with families of linguistically and culturally diverse children and adolescents. For TESOL students only.

This course introduces the broader historical developments of learning and engagement work in a variety of museums, libraries and other nonprofit cultural organizations, along with the current emphasis on community engagement, access and diversity, building community partnerships and collaborations. Educators working in these spaces serve a variety of publics, onsite and off, from schools and teachers, to adolescents and families, to young as well as older adults. This course serves as a critical introduction to the roles that educators play in supporting these publics, as well as supporting organizational missions and public understanding around artistic and cultural diversity, heritage and the natural world etc. through various programmatic means. This course includes several site visits to different institutions in the New York City area. For students in the LEMCO program only.

The main focus of this course will be on school field trips (in person and/or virtual, including related resources) to museums and cultural organizations; how these experiences intersect with curricula and specific units of study in schools at different levels. These trips are sometimes referred to as out-of-school experiences or place-based experiences, involving discovery, inquiry and/or play with objects, specimens, and unique environments. Participants will interrogate existing field trip programs using an anti-colonial lens. They will then design a new field trip-- aligned with a unit of study informed by specific standards and guidelines-- that effectively uses resources/objects, spaces and staff expertise at a museum or cultural organization. Field trip proposals will demonstrate the use of developmentally appropriate activities, different modalities, culturally relevant and culturally sustaining language and other effective teaching strategies.

LEAD520C-1C | Understanding Audiences and Users | 1 | Staff TBD | See Notes | 10/8,10/10,10/24,10/31 plus in person Sat 10/26 | ||
Public museums, libraries and cultural Institutions, unlike schools and universities, do not mandate attendance nor do they issue degrees. As places of free-choice learning, they must continually reach out and attract audiences. This requires that staff understand audiences, both current and potential, and the communities in which they operate. In this course, participants will review fundamental marketing and visitor evaluation practices. By developing a greater understanding and empathy for visitor motivations, by identifying possible barriers to participation, by learning techniques for studying and evaluating visitor engagement, participants can develop more responsive, relevant, and inclusive communication strategies for educational programs that meet the needs of diverse publics in their communities. For students in the LEMCO program only.

Highly effective school leaders understand the historical and contemporary implications of how racial and socioeconomic inequities continue to shape patterns of access and quality in education throughout the United States. These transformational leaders organize their entire school community around ensuring learning environments are free from bias and limitation. In doing so, they build a stronger, more equitable, and more just society – and serve as examples of what’s possible in America’s public education system.
This course is essential for aspiring educational leaders in that it provides opportunities to examine and dissect the history of our education system as foundational knowledge required to envision a new model for schools and educational leadership. The course will examine the history, practices, and policies that create, maintain, and uphold inequities. Students will co-create ways to apply this understanding to practice in order to improve educational excellence for all children.
