Alumni Voices
I chose Bank Street for its strong Bilingual Education program, which was something that I was very much interested in pursuing. I believe that the commitment that Bank Street professors have to their students, their practice, and to New York City schools is outstanding. I am also a career changer (having been an actor), yet Bank Street encourages students like me to bring their knowledge and expertise into their teaching practice.
