Section Title Credits Rooms Instructor Days/Times Dates Status
EDUC500ESR-1ESR Child Development 3 Online Troy Pinkney T 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.

EDUC535ESR-1ESR Science for Teachers (Grades N – 6) 2 Online Mona Arriola McNamara TH 7:00-9:00 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. For students in fully-online programs only.

IMP3ESR-1ESR IMP: Mentored Directed Essay 0 Online Staff TBD See mentor
Students choosing to do a Mentored Directed Essay work with an assigned faculty mentor to design an essay that is based on existing, program-specific prepared questions. These questions are designed to help you think and write about the salient issues pertaining to your chosen area of study. Working with your mentor, you may adapt questions to support the distinctive needs of your professional growth, interests, and current work situation. This option is designed to provide structure and focus with maximum flexibility, and is intended to be completed within a single semester. This option is offered all semesters. For students in fully-online programs only.
Students will receive the name of their faculty mentor no later than the end of the add/drop period.

To access the MDE, log into myBSC and go to Resources > Integrative Master's Project (IMP).
IS500ESR-1ESR IMP: Independent Study 0 Online Staff TBD See mentor
The Independent Study is an original work that you initiate, often growing out of a meaningful course assignment or an idea, question, or experience rooted in a fieldwork or work setting. Students work with a faculty mentor who has expertise in the particular area of study. The Independent Study usually includes two semesters of research and writing, and is most closely aligned with a traditional master’s thesis. Independent Studies are made accessible to the public though the Bank Street Library's online catalogue. For students in fully-online programs only.

This IMP is for students who have not yet begun their Independent Study. Students continuing an Independent Study from a previous semester should contact the Registrar for registration. A second semester is optional.

In order to be registered for an Independent Study (IS500) you must have already secured a faculty mentor who has reviewed your Independent Study (IS) proposal and has committed to serve as your IS mentor. Please look out for an email from Karina Miranda, which will include a Google Form for you to share your mentor's name. If you do not complete this Google Form, you will be dropped from this IMP at the end of the add/drop period.

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.

This course prepares you as Fellows to plan for the principalship by examining the role of the principal as an operational leader who manages staff, facilities, budgets, and district strategy to align with the school’s vision, mission, and values. 
The course begins by defining the process and purpose of school improvement planning within operational leadership. This type of strategic planning involves engaging critical stakeholders, analyzing data, and performing an equity audit of how your school is performing across all student groups. 
You will then move from school improvement planning to learning to manage your greatest resource—the people in the school building. Managing human resources means recruiting, selecting, onboarding, and retaining aligned staff who will realize the vision for excellence and equity in your school community.
Module 2 builds on your understanding of resource equity and operational leadership by discussing the management of time and money. First, you will look at how each minute of the school's master schedule, and your personal schedule, can be used to maximize all aspects of teaching and learning and prioritize equitable access for underserved students. Then we will turn to school finance and budgeting. You will be prepared to ensure that the school’s financial resources are supporting school goals and positively impacting the student experience.
Finally, in Module 3, you will focus on managing the physical school building to facilitate excellence in learning and teaching. How do you manage facilities to create a student experience where all students are successful and feel safe, valued, and honored? The course concludes with a focus on your role as an advocate. A key aspect of operational leadership is communicating with district leaders and stakeholders to advocate for the resources of your students, staff, families, and community.
