D E F I N I N G T H E W O R K O F E D U C AT O R S Soon after being named president of Teachers College, I received a letter from a well-known educator suggesting the College change its name. The author reasoned that Teachers College is the largest and most comprehensive graduate and professional school of education in the country. Teachers College focuses on education in the broadest sense of the word—in and out of the classroom and across the life span. A third of our students are in teacher preparation programs. The rest are planning on careers in administration, policy, research and teaching in fields ranging across education, health and psychology. The proposal certainly had merit, but it was at the same time impossible. The most valuable possession we have at Teachers College is our name. The name summons a powerful historical legacy. Teachers College began almost a century ago with the radical mission of preparing a new breed of professional educators. In the years since, Teachers College has been a leader in defining the work of educators and the nature of their field. It has attracted to its faculty the greatest minds in education and educated the students who have led the field. The name Teachers College also stands for a vital and enduring mission. For more than 100 years, the College has been committed to: ■ Engage in research on the central issues facing education. ■
Prepare the next generation of leaders of education.
■
Educate the current generation of leaders in practice and policy to meet the challenges they face.
■
Shape the public debate and public policy in education.
■
Improve practice in educational institutions.
We live in an age in which our world is changing dramatically and quickly. Our educational institutions and the educators who lead them are being buffeted by demographic, economic, global and technological change.
Arthur E. Levine, President, Teachers College, Columbia University
Our work at Teachers College today, as it was yesterday, is to create the programs, carry out the research and develop the models that will guide educators and the institutions they serve. Should you decide to join us as graduate students, you will share in the excitement of an environment for learning on the leading edge of educational reform and innovation.

THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT In its new configuration, Teachers College has organized its academic programs into nine departments augmented by centers, institutes and projects that reinforce instructional areas with research, service, and experiential initiatives. No longer do overarching issues remain imbedded in curtainedoff disciplines, but are vigorously and provocatively explored in an interdisciplinary and holistic context.

Mathematics, Science and Technology Organization and Leadership Here, then, in summary form, is a review of the scope and depth of the learning environment at Teachers College (see succeeding sections for more detailed descriptions).
For organizational purposes, we have established nine departments, including Departments of: ■ Arts and Humanities ■ Biobehavioral Sciences ■ Counseling and Clinical Psychology ■ Curriculum and Teaching ■ Health and Behavioral Studies ■ Human Development ■ International and Transcultural Studies
Teachers College is heavily invested in the intellectual interests and creative ideas that extend beyond the traditional concerns of schooling to engage human endeavors across the lifespan. Our concerns are the values and philosophies underpinning contemporary school reform. What that means in educational terms is an emphasis on inquiry to explore and analyze competing ideas; a focus on habits of mind to develop and sustain critical thinking; and the role

of discovery in expanding our store of knowledge. Crucial in establishing this foundation for lifelong learning are academic programs in the Department of Arts and Humanities. Programs in the Arts include Art and Art Education, Arts Administration, and Music and Music Education. Humanities houses programs in Applied Linguistics, History and Education, Philosophy and Education, Social Studies, Teaching of English and English Education, and Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). Associated research and service forums include the Center for Social Imagination, the Arts, and Education, the Center for Arts Education Research, and the Center for the Study of the Spiritual Foundations of Education.

Department of Biobehavioral Sciences Disorders of movement and communication often profoundly affect an individual’s ability to function in school and in the lifetime that follows. To address such issues, the Department of Biobehavioral Sciences includes such programs as Applied Physiology, exploring the physiological effects of exercise and training to improve health and physical fitness; Motor Learning and Control, the development, acquisition, and control of motor skills; Neurosciences and Education, focusing on the neurological processes involved in human cognition, language and action within the educational context; Physical Education for those interested in teaching, fitness management, and coaching; Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, providing therapeutic approaches to minimize and correct speech, language, and hearing disorders; and Kinesiology, researching human movement and its disorders. In that regard, the Edward D. Mysak Speech-Language and Hearing Center offers evaluation and therapy services to individuals with speech, voice, language, or hearing problems.
M E N TA L H E A LT H C O N C E R N S
Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology The Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology focuses on the psychological and mental health concerns experienced by children, adolescents, and adults in family, school, community, and work situations. The program in Clinical Psychology explores the etiology and treatment of such maladaptive behaviors as drug and alcohol abuse, violent and high-risk conduct, depression, schizophrenia, and child abuse. Counseling Psychology concentrates on less severe problems in living as well as on normal developmental patterns of identity formation (including racial and gender identity), and vocational choice. The academic programs are reinforced by research, community interventions, and practica offered through the auspices of the Center for Education and Psychological Services. RESTRUCTURE
AND
REFORM
Department of Curriculum and Teaching Teachers College is a pioneering presence in restructuring and reforming our educational systems. The College engages in research and develops pilot projects to create model school environments where teaching standards are met and learning expectations are realized. In the Department of Curriculum and Teaching and associated centers and institutes, Teachers College places a high priority on the initiatives that lead to reasserting leadership in education. Central among them are promoting an understanding of teaching and learning processes for learners from birth to adulthood; enhancing the reading and writing skills of youngsters; breaking down bureaucratic barriers to foster school-based reforms; giving administrators and teachers the backing and resources to develop creative learning concepts; helping

educators meet the needs of exceptional children in inclusive settings; and instituting academic rigor and accountability to encourage high performance standards. The departmental programs include Curriculum and Teaching, Early Childhood Education, Early Childhood/Special Education, Elementary/Childhood Education (Preservice), Gifted Education, Learning Disabilities and Reading and Learning Disabilities. Research and service support for its academic programs come from the Hollingworth Center for Study and Education of the Gifted, National Center for Restructuring Education, Schools, and Teaching (NCREST), and the Reading and Writing Project.

AND
LEARNING
Department of Health and Behavior Studies Health and learning are inextricably intertwined. Optimal learning cannot take place in an atmosphere rife with physical, psychological, social, and health problems. On the other hand, optimal health cannot be achieved without learning skills and literacy. The Department of Health and Behavior Studies seeks to enhance one’s learning potential by overcoming health-related constraints and other barriers to literacy. Components of that approach include programs in Applied Educational Psychology, Health Studies, and Special Education. Academic interests are complemented by the research and service of the Center for Health Promotion, Center for Education and Psychological Services, and Center for Opportunities and Outcomes for People with Disabilities.

DEVELOPMENT
AND
RESEARCH
Department of Human Development Teachers College has been producing scholars in the social sciences for almost 100 years. Now, however, the challenge is greater than ever before to develop theories and methods of social science—particularly psychology and sociology—that can be used to promote the development and well-being of infants, children, and adults; help teachers understand their students’ learning and intellectual abilities; develop and evaluate intellectually stimulating and effective programs of instruction, and assure that the benefits of education for all individuals, especially the disadvantaged, whose ability to gain from education may be at special risk. The Department of Human Development is dedicated to meeting this challenge through the multi-disciplinary study of development and education across the lifespan and in the social contexts in which they occur. That pursuit finds expression in such programs as Cognitive Studies in Education; Developmental Psychology; Measurement, Evaluation and Statistics; Psychology in Education, and Sociology and Education. A forum associated with human development issues is the Center for the Study of Young Children and Families. A WORLD VIEW

E D U C AT I O N
Department of International and Transcultural Studies What once stood as a world with well-defined jurisdictional borders now is unable to withstand the flow of populations, information, ideas, goods, and services across national boundaries. While geographic designations remain, the rush of technological advances has removed long-standing barriers to new forms of communication. What has emerged is a diversification of people and resources that is transcultural in context and international in scope, operating across as well as within national boundaries. Increasingly, a global presence, transcultural
and international forces are crucial in understanding education in every domain of human experience. Thus, the Department of International and Transcultural Studies is a pioneering force in this field with a program focus on Comparative and International Education/International Education Development, Bilingual/Bicultural Education, and Economics and Education, Anthropology and Education and Applied Anthropology. Added institutional elements are the Elbenwood Center for the Study of Family as Educator, Institute on Education and the Economy, Institute of International Studies and the Center on Chinese Education.

FRONTIER THINKING
Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology Societies and cultures are settings within which science, mathematics, technology and communications media develop the forces that frame the work they do. Technological developments, driven by science and mathematics, can advance and change cultures, but societal and cultural forces can also act to constrain or limit technological development. Understanding the interrelationships among science, mathematics and technology (including communication media) as foundations upon which education and the work of educators is based is the central consideration of the Department. These concerns are structured programmatically in Communications and Education, Computing and Education, and Instructional Technology and Media (for technology), and the College programs in Mathematics and Science Education. The Institute for Learning Technologies is a service and research forum promoting uses of digital communications technologies to advance innovation in education and society. Another venue, the Center for Technology and School Change helps schools plan for change brought about by the technology.

PROFESSIONALS
Department of Organization and Leadership Beyond the campus, Teachers College is becoming more visible as a principal player in the formation of public policy and the policy discussions that govern the future course of education. We have constituted programs for educational professionals and practitioners and influential members of the public and private sectors to focus on the profound changes that have enveloped our entire educational system. To achieve that goal, we are bringing together national leaders from business, the media, foundations, labor, government, and education to give priority attention to resolve the issues destined to return confidence, credibility, and distinction to environments wherever learning takes place. In pursuit of that initiative, the Department of Organization and Leadership incorporates such programs as Adult Learning and Leadership, Education Leadership, Higher and Postsecondary Education, Nurse Executive/Health Administration, Politics and Education and Social-Organizational Psychology. The research and service organizations associated with leadership initiative are the Klingenstein Center for Independent School Education, Institute of Higher Education, Institute of Research and Service in Nursing Education, and International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution.

T H E I N I T I AT I V E S T H AT D E F I N E T E A C H E R S C O L L E G E Teachers College is best personified by what it is and what is does. What it is is an activist institution, a comprehensive graduate and professional school of education, primarily embracing the disciplines of psychology, health and education. What it does is give expression to its priority fields of interest with voices that speak to such initiatives as education issues, policy and scholarship/research, scholars and scholarships, lectures and BookTalks, conferences and panels and campus activities.
E D U C AT I O N I S S U E S Teachers College has a tradition of venturing into the frontier realms of education to examine, among others, teaching techniques that enhance learning, the impact of terrorism on school environments, policies that impinge on school independence, creative views of subject matter material and innovative approaches to teacher development. What Teachers College brings to the concerns and considerations of education issues is an ability look beyond the conventional to explore the unexamined.
guaranteed by the State Constitution. The Appeals Court ruled that the state is only obliged to provide students with an eighthgrade education rather than one that prepares students to vote and serve on a jury. “Imagine,” countered Teachers College Professor Thomas Sobol, “that the state has the obligation to educate people up to the eigth-grade level.” Sobol, an instumental player in the lawsuit added: “What does that say about state standards?” Calling the decision “unreasonable on its face,” litigants appealed the ruling to the State Court of Appeals hopeful that the highest state court would not countenance a finding of adequate education “to be the equivalent to 19th Century minimal level skills.”

n a Teachers College forum, held one year after 9/11, participating teachers and session leaders focused on how to deal with student concepts of “the other,” whether in the classroom or in countries around the globe. In the context of the forum discussions, this meant looking at ideas and images of Muslims, Islam and many developing nations since 9/11, including strategies to help students think critically about the media and become more adept at recognizing media spin as well as authentic sources of information. In opening remarks by then Vice President of Academic Affairs and Acting President Darlyne Dean Darlyne Bailey Bailey, she said the popu-

In question and answer sessions, workshop panelists advised teachers and students to go to the source to discover the thinking of people, for example, in Africa, the Middle East, Afghanistan and the Muslim world as an antidote to the often superficial coverage presented by the media.

he Harlem Middle School for Mathematics and Science is the focus of a broad-based program in science education with the contributions of Teachers College Professor Angela Calabrese Barton and a team of TC Urban Science Fellows. Calabrese Barton, Associate Professor of Science Education and
Director of the Urban Science Education Center, is directing a project at the Harlem school that includes a study of environmental justice with a three-pronged examination of air quality, water quality and soil quality. “We want (the students at the Middle School) to understand what it means to actually think about air, water and soil in the context of Central Harlem,” Calabrese Barton said. The Air Quality project is under way with the cooperation of the West Harlem Environmental Action Center which has done curriculum development work around air quality with data collected from the New York City area. The Water Quality Project is working with the South Street Seaport which had science equipment unavailable to Middle School teachers. The Urban Science Center is working exclusively with teachers at the Middle School. Commenting on the project, Calabrese Barton noted “that we have student teachers who are learning how to do this kind of curriculum work with experienced teachers, we have experienced teachers learning how to integrate environmental

n her book What Keeps Teachers Going (In Spite of Everything)?, Sonia Nieto explored the reasons she found that teachers stay in the profession despite the fact that half of all new public school teachers leave the profession within the first five years of teaching. In her research, she looked at eight high school teachers from public high schools in Boston, most teaching at least 20 years and one for six years. In summary, her findings were that teachers in the study loved the children they taught and had faith in their own capabilities. They thought deeply about teaching and engaged in intellectual work every day—the kind that takes considerable thought and research. Sonia Nieto
The Arts as Integral to Learning
T
he importance of the arts as an integral part of the public school curriculum, not as an add-on or a luxury, was raised in a conference on “Why the Arts?” sponsored by the Heritage School. The Heritage School, a partnership between the Teachers College Department of Art and Art Education and the New York City Department of Education, is a comprehensive public high school that has the arts at the core of its curriculum. Joan Firestone, Special Advisor to the Chancellor for Arts Education, pointed out that there are only 2,400 fine arts teachers out of 80,000 public school teachers in New York City. “We don’t want to replace general education with the arts,” Firestone said, “but we want respect for the arts.” Art and Art Education Professor Judith Burton, who conceived the Heritage School in 1996, noted that “the importance of the vision of the Heritage School (is that the curriculum) includes the arts as an indigenous part of the whole. If you took the arts out, then it would quite literally impoverish children’s learning.”
Smaller High Schools Help Urban Yo u t h P e r f o r m B e t t e r
A
seven-year longitudinal study published by the American Educational Research Association found that replacing failing comprehensive high schools with smaller, more communal high schools led to “substantially better attendance, lower incident rates, better performance on reading and writing assignments, higher graduation rates and higher college-going rates, despite serving a more educationally disadvantaged student population.” Researchers Linda Darling-Hammond of Stanford University and Jacqueline Ancess and Susanna Wichterle Ott of Teachers College, reported that the five new schools studied developed structures such as smaller pupil loads, advisory groups and interdisciplinary curricula to build strong student-teacher relationships and to support student learning.

eachers College received a $1.5 million grant from the Riverside Church’s Jubilee Fund to help support a professional development program for schools in former District 5 in Central Harlem. “In working with Teachers College and the public school system,” noted Rev. James A. Forbes, Jr., Senior Minister of Riverside Church, “we hope to spark an educational chain reaction that starts by planting the seed with teachers and continues to grow through the children in District 5.” The Harlem Educational Renaissance Project, beneficiary of the grant, offers teachers more opportunities to improve their skills and spend more time with students. Acting President Darlyne Bailey and the faculty members representing Teachers College in the Rev. James A. Forbes project said they believe the “starting point in providing quality education for the children of District 5 resides in creating strong support for teachers.” 11
The Cultural Dimensions of Te a m Te a c h i n g
I
n the February 2002 issue of Advances in Developing Human Resources, Lyle Yorks, Associate Professor of Adult Learning, writes in the chapter on “Cross-Cultural Dimensions of Team Learning” that “culture is a critical contextual element that can have an inhibiting effect on the learning process. Because people do not have a culture but inhabit one, they are never free agents capable of transcending their situation.” Chapters by doctoral candidates include Young-Saing Kim’s “The Relationship Between Team Learning and Power in Organizations,” employing a case study that is explicit about culture and the traditional value that influenced team teaching in a South Korean information technology company. And in Dorothy Ndletyana’s article, “The Impact of Culture on Team Teaching in a South African Context,” her findings revealed evidence of cultural diversity, a history of repression and cooperation based on traditional African unity.

An Expanding Menu of School Choices
S
tate and districts around the country have generated an everexpanding menu of school choice options, according to Amy Stuart Wells, Professor of Sociology and Education at Teachers College. The range of options include stateaward grants (an early form of vouchers), open Amy Stuart Wells, Professor of Sociology enrollment, “controlled and Education choice,” inter- and intradistrict choice, charter schools and per-pupil vouchers. The movement to the suburbs to enroll students in more hom*ogeneous schools is itself a form of choice, Wells said. To counter this out migration, urban school districts developed magnet

schools with specialized curricula, such as advanced science and music, that are breaking new ground in innovation and creativity. As many as 20 percent of all urban students are enrolled in magnet schools. Much of the support for charter schools and vouchers has been grounded in the ideals of market-based reform. The evidence that charter schools foster higher academic achievement and more accountability to date is mixed, Wells noted.

n a school voucher case from Cleveland, the Supreme Court held voucher programs are constitutional. Is this a good idea? In evaluating educational voucher programs, the National Center for the Study of Privatization at Teachers College posed four questions: Do vouchers offer freedom of choice? Are they efficient? Are they fair? Do they impair or enhance social cohesion? In the opinion of the Court, choice trumps our question about efficiency. It found that the choice of religious over nonreligious schools need only represent adequate substitutions in the eyes of parents. On the subject of fairness, the Court held that vouchers as “opportunities for struggling communities” may be the tipping factor that encourages their wider adoption. The Court’s dissent noted that vouchers have a potential to “weaken our foundation of democracy.” In response to the finding of the Supreme Court, using New York City as a case study, the National Center raised a number of obstacles to the voucher system, citing opposition by community groups and teachers, the failure of parents to take advantage of the program and the added expense involved.

Gordon, who returned to Teachers College from Yale where he was Professor Emeritus of Psychology, described a number of major projects to bring visibility and vitality to the Institute’s objectives. One project is to describe and document how high-achieving people from historically low-achieving populations are able to succeed. In a four-prong approach, the project looks at ecological and environmental factors, studies characteristics of individuals, examines select higher education programs that have a reputation for succeeding with minority students, and identifies public schools that are successful with these students. Another project provides technical assistance, professional development, relational data management and research information services to public schools struggling with the achievement gap between white and minority students.

Gardening Projects with Scientific Implications
s part of an Urban Gardening Project, students at PS 165 and their families planted bulbs around trees in front of the school and in the playground. According to faculty members associated with Teachers College Urban Science Education Center, sponsors of the project, the garden ultimately is to become a learning garden to provide students with learning opportunities about urban ecology, environmental health and plant growth and development. The garden at PS 165 is part of a collaborative project between the Urban Science Center and the Harlem Middle School for Math and Science. The longterm plan is to have students and teachers from both schools visit each other’s project and communicate with each other in person and electronically about the science concerns that emerge from their respective gardening projects.

POLICY AND SCHOLARSHIP/RESEARCH
Across a wide range of education interests, Teachers College scholars engage in research and scholarship that explore new thinking about settled ideas and examine the effect of policies administratively imposed or legislative enacted that unsettle or uplift the learning environment. Over the decades, and most certaintly in these times, Teachers College has been instrumental in raising the issues, drawn from policy determinations and research investigations, that shape the debate over school reform and the quality of public education.
J o u r n a l i s t s Te n d t o M i s t r u s t Education Research
M
ost journalists who cover education are somewhat dubious of education research but nine in 10 still believe research findings should have at least a moderate influence on decisions affecting schooling, according to a survey by the Hechinger Institute on Education and the Media. Almost 85 percent of the journalists polled in the e-mail survey said they find education research only “somewhat” or “marginally” credible. The reasons given by the journalists are that education research often is ideologically motivated and that many studies are so poorly written or jargonized that they are difficult to understand. In a companion survey, deans of education across the country noted, in the main, that journalists had only a “marginal” grasp of education issues. Taken together, the surveys suggest a need for more formal training of journalists in areas such as statistics and quantitative and qualitative research methods and that educators have to work harder to communicate their research findings with more clarity.
T h e Ti m e S p e n t i n S c h o o l Favors Well-Off White Students
A
landmark study by the National Center for Children and Families at Teachers College and the University of Maryland uncovered dramatic differences in how African-American students and white students spend their time in school. Teachers of black students reported spending a larger percentage of time on academic activities and less on enrichment and recess activities. On the contrary, white students spend a comparable amount of time on academic subjects but tend to have longer school days that includes extra enrichment and recess. According to the investigators, the data “illustrate the racial and economic inequality in America’s schools” with poorer minority students deprived of the opportunities enjoyed by well-off white students.
Institute for Student Achievement, observed that standardized testing has more to do with high-stakes decision-making rather than providing equitable education for all children. Thomas Sobol, Christian A. Johnson Professor of Outstanding Educational Practice at Teachers College, recommended joining the movement in support of testing and “get people to do it right” by focusing on the standards and assessments “we should have.” Jay Heubert, Associate Professor of Education at Teachers College, suggested that the information obtained from large-scale assessments should be used to improve curriculum and pedagogy and to identify and address learning needs so that all students can receive proper instruction and achieve high standards. William Cala, a school superintendent from upstate Fairport, New York, noted that a vast majority of students held back because of poor test scores become drop-outs and advocated a grass-roots effort to raise public opposition to the tests are they are currently formulated.

Stahnke, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching, focused her project on how teenagers become committed to anti-racist activism. In the course of conducting interviews with 20 New York City youths, she wants to find out “how do youth who are committed to the uplift of all navigate a culture that emphasizes autonomy and individual achievement.” Kozol, an Ed.M. candidate in the Arts and Humanities Department, is gathering folk songs sung by children in New York City to determine the role the songs play in their lives and examine the transcultural process and its influence on this music.

Early Head Start Children Outpace Peers
Y
oung children who participate in Early Head Start have stronger cognitive skills, better vocabularies and more positive attitudes than do eligible children who do not take part, according to a newly released, seven-year evaluation headed by Teachers College’s Jeanne Brooks-Gunn of the federally financed child development effort. More so, according to the study, parents of children in Early Head Start are more likely to support their learning, use positive parenting techniques and
improve their own education and job skills than those who did not receive the services. Brooks-Gunn, Virginia and Leonard Marx Professor of Child and Parent Development and Education, said “this study shows the broadest impact across a variety of outcomes of any federal program for young children that has been evaluated.” The study was conducted by Teachers College’s Center for Children and Families, headed by BrooksGunn, Mathematics Policy and Research of Princeton, New Jersey, and the Early Head Start Research Consortium.
and his colleagues found that individuals who are disposed to self-enhancement—those who tend to have a self-deceptive, overly positive view of themselves—have been shown to better able cope with extremely adverse circ*mstances. The results of the current research explores whether self-enhancing individuals process emotions differently than others, and, if so, whether the differences are key to their unusual ability to cope with extreme adversity.

T
he Virginia and Leonard Marx Lecturer for 2002, Jonathan Kozol, cited his personal and research experiences to indict a society that deprives poor minority children of an adequate education. Citing examples of children in the South Bronx, where he has worked since 1993, Kozol said the students there have the highest rate of chronic asthma in the western world. One quarter of them have fathers in prison. The absence of any white children amounts to a phenomenon he calls “social apartheid.” Noting that New York City spends $8,000 per pupil in the South Bronx contrasted with $18,000 in wealthier areas, and the median salary of $40,000 compared to $80,000 paid to teachers in Scarsdale schools, he discounted the remarks of well-meaning but out-of-touch critics who say “can you really solve this kind of problem by throwing money at it?” And he responds “you mean can you really buy your way to a better education? It seems to work for your children.” The future for his students is hardly promising. “By the time these kids grow up, they will have compliant voices and truncated aspirations,” he noted. “They will be market ready and still not be fully human.” He charged the educators in the audience to defend inner-city children against Jonathan Kozol, 2002 Virginia and Leonard market-driven madness Marx Lecturer and, instead, to uphold a
nobler tradition: “Be inventive, be subversive and be bold.” He is not asking anyone to do anything he has not already done himself.
Exploring the Limits of Education in the Sachs Lectures
E
lizabeth Ellsworth, a leading proponent of using media to enrich learning experiences and foster social change, was the 2002-2003 Julius and Rosa Sachs Distinguished Lecturer. Collectively entitled, “Around and About the Limits of Education,” her three Sachs lectures incorporate a rich array of still and video images, sounds, architectural designs and other multimedia aids. Her purpose, she says, is “to step outside the traditional boundaries of education to examine experiments, inventions and environments with the potential to enrich and expand pedagogy.” In her first lecture, “The Power of What We Can’t Know,” Ellsworth Elizabeth Ellsworth, 2002-2003 Julius and noted that “most of the Rosa Sachs Distinguished Lecturer people responsible for these innovations aren’t educators per se but architects, designers, artists, performance artists and others” who intentionally or otherwise have drawn upon the concept of transitional space. She describes the concept as “the space between inner and outer world, which is also the space between people—the transitional space—where intimate relationships and creativity occur.” The second lecture, “Time, Space and Place in Teaching and Learning,” drew on the concept of transitional space created by possibly antagonistic parties, such as police and high school students, to bring about “a new and unanticipated way of relating to each other,” Ellsworth said. Such experiences, she added, “reflect an interesting mix of humility and excitement on the part of all concerned.” The role of the teacher is to proclaim, Ellsworth observed, “I will be curious about what we can do with this pedagogy and make of it together,” positioning the teacher as a producer of culture. In her third lecture,
25
“Reorienting Education,” Ellsworth advanced the notion that democracy is by definition always in the making and never achieved and that that is both its challenge and beauty.” Should democracy be ultimately achieved, she said “it would be closed to the future and soon become oppressive. The only thing that keeps a democracy from becoming oppressive is that it is unfinished.” Likewise, a pedagogy that draws upon the idea of transitional space is “one that gestures toward an open future. It addresses the future in a way that tries not to close it down, and it puts what we can’t know into productive use.”
The Challenges of Big City Public School Leadership
I
n a lecture on “Social Responsibilities: The Challenges of Urban Public Education,” former New York City Schools Chancellor Harold O. Levy the discussed the administrative and emotional drawbacks to public service in public education. Responsible, during his tenure, for 1.1 million school children, 80,000 teachers and 120,000 employees, Levy lamented that “the tools you’re given as a chancellor, as a head of a school system, bear very little resemblance to the tools you need. You’re given these mechanical, structural things, and what you really need is a Harold O. Levy, former New York City podium and a checkSchools Chancellor book.” His emotional challenges centered on how to comfort the family of a pupil killed or injured at or around school. And, looking at what he could do to affect the little bit that was in his control, he focused on a few things that have the greatest effect on student scores: teacher quality, time on task and attendance.
White Allies in the Struggle for Civil Rights
C
ynthia Stokes Brown, Professor Emerita at Domincan University of California, explored the role of white civil rights activists who struggled against racism at a peril to their safety and well being. In her book, Refusing Racism: White Allies and the Struggle for Civil Rights, she chronicles the leadership for justice provided by J. Waties Waring, whose aristocratic southern background underwent an astonishing race conversion as a federal judge that turned him into an outspoken critic of segregation. Her book also focused on the antiracism support given by Virginia Durr, a political activist from Alabama; Anne McCarty Braden, a journalist from Louisville, Kentucky; and Herbert R. Kohn, a writer and educator from New York City. As part of the Teachers College Press popular series, Teaching for Social Justice, Brown said her stories “show in detail how some of those considered white were able to join unequivocably in the fight for liberation. “I do this,” she writes, “to provide role models of antiracist white identity and action.”

Meier talked about her vision of trustworthy public schools and how it underscores their role as essential elements in a democratic society. She maintained that standardized curricula and tests discourage exploration and understanding while undermining learning environments built on trust. Drawing on her experiences in founding and running small, successful public schools in New York and Boston, Meier argued for a dramatic reinvention of public schools based on an older tradition in which adults kept meaningful company with children and said trust is essential in developing educative relationships between teachers and students.

Parental Attitudes About Children With Development Disabilities
I
n research findings presented at the Leonard and Frances Blackman Lecture, Psychologist Laraine Masters Glidden noted that adoptive parents of children with development disabilities generally are more accepting and positive than are birth parents of children with disabilities. Three hypotheses were considered. The first was confirmed, that adoptive parents would, at the beginning, show better initial adjustment than birth parents. The second also was largely confirmed that when the children were 6 1/2 years old there would be little difference between adoptive and birth parents, except for birth fathers who, at the time the children were making a transition into adulthood, had a more worrisome outlook for their children. The third hypothesis focused on the traits that account for levels of adaptation and adjustment and found, according to Professor Glidden, “that people who are generally optimistic and positive would have more feelings of reward with regard to how their children are making a transition and how they will do in the future.” Glidden, once a research associate at Teachers College for Leonard Blackman when he was on the faculty, is Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychology at St. Mary’s College of Maryland.

A collaborative program between TC’s New Teacher Institute and the International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution, the conference provided participants— from urban schoolteachers to suburban superintendents—with lessons, workshops and materials to apply conflict resolution and peace education skills in their professional lives. Kate Unger, founder and Director of TC New Teacher Institute, noted that the times demand that conflict resolution and peace education should be integral in shaping K-12 curricula. Eric Cooper, Executive Director of the National Alliance for Effective Education, added that the achievement gap between children of color and white students “reflects a lack of political will on the part of stakeholders.” The Rev.

Speaking at a seminar series sponsored by Teachers College’s Community College Research Center, D’Amico noted that “it isn’t only what we teach but what we expect that makes a difference. It is the rigor that makes a difference.” Jim Jacobs, Associate Director of the Center, said community colleges are being driven by the
dominance of an office economy, the end of linear education, competition from private and public schools and the increasing emphasis on accountability.

Tsang, Professor of Economics Leslie Lo, from the Chinese and Education, and Director, Center on University of Hong Kong, Chinese Education noted that while there is an assumption that education is the prime responsibility of the state, the government should pursue alternative channels of education, including private education.

U n p r e p a r e d Te a c h e r s , U n e q u a l Funding Plague Charter Schools
I
n a forum hosted by the Hechinger Institute on Education and the Media, a study presented on charter schools found serious disparities in how such independent public schools operate. The study, drawing on a new national survey of charter schools, was led by scholars at the University of California and Stanford University. According to the study, a ballooning number of charter schools rely heavily on uncredentialed teachers, fail to acquire federal funds to aid low-achieving or learning-disabled children and display the same finance disparities that beset regular public schools. Charter schools, organized as an alternative to what are regarded as mediocre or unsafe local schools, ironically, according to Bruce Fuller, Berkeley Professor of Education and Public Policy, expose students to “less qualified teachers and weaker instructional support than if they had remained in regular public schools. Without serious attention to equity (that is, holding charter schools to the same standards
“
that regular schools are required to perform) this hopeful experiment may deepen the very inequities that charter school advocates claimed they would ameliorate.”
T h e B u s i n e s s o f Te s t i n g In a panel on “Profiting on the Test: How Businesses Translate High Stakes Testing into Commercial Opportunity,” the panel members discussed the current state of mandatory testing as a school reform, the business implications and the potential pitfalls and opportunities that lie ahead. Gary Natriello, Teachers College Professor of Sociology and Education, debunked the notion of profit for its own sake and said businesses would invest in testing sufficiently enough to grow and develop it. One pitfall he raised, however, is the conservative bent of business lacks pressure for innovation. John Katzman, CEO of the Princeton Review, noted the need to integrate tests such as summative tests, benchmark tests and formative test or quizzes. “One of the problems of tests such

as the S.A.T. is that teachers have to teach things that do not matter,” he added, “instead of teaching trigonometry or Shakespeare.” Peter Jovanovich, CEO of Pearson Education, cautioned that the political aspect of testing cannot be ignored, particularly with the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act that mandates accountability through testing.
The Impact of e-Learning on Higher Education
A
panel based on the publication of The Wired Tower focused on the changes stemming from the Internet and related technologies. The changes include improved instructional approaches, widened support of technology outside of the back office and expansion into new markets in the process, thus transforming higher education and increasing access to it. Referring to a chapter he wrote, Arthur Levine, President of Teachers College, commented that “one of the greatest risks we face as a nation in the growth of new educational providers is the unbundling of teaching, research and service functions. As teaching is weakArthur Levine, President, Teachers College ened without linkage to knowledge creation, so too is knowledge creation without connection to preservation, and application uninformed by research. No modern society can afford to pay the enormous price that would be extracted should this combination be permitted to unravel.”
C A M P U S I N I T I AT I V E S For years, a superb academic program was housed in a less than attractive and welcoming physical setting. Now, Teachers College is renovating and improving its facilities to match the quality of education it offers. What greets the eye are polished hallways; painted walls; enhanced lighting; redecorated student lounge, classrooms and conference centers; stateof-the-art computer resources; a new residence hall; a restored chapel, and a redesigned library. It is a comfort level that matches the level of the intellectual environment.
Campaign Surpasses $140 Million Goal The Campaign for Teachers College has surpassed it’s $140 million goal—the largest financial undertaking in the College’s history. In fact, the College has raised more money than any other school of education in the nation. But Teachers College is not just another school of education. Through its multidisciplinary areas of study, it has defined the standards of education for more than 100 years, and this campaign ensures that it will continue its work into the 21st century. The Campaign’s key priorities include raising additional funds for scholarships, professorships and other faculty needs and the renovation of the College’s physical plant.

Core Issues for Growth and Prestige
I
n remarks entitled “Listening to Our Inner Voice,” Darlyne Bailey, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College, described five core issues to chart the destiny of Teachers College. One is to balance aspirations to be a first-rate professional school with building a highly regarded graduate research institution. Second, to create an educational community broad and deep enough to accommodate all its constituents. A third is to provide our students with “interpersonal opportunities for growth and development.” Fourth is to balance fiscal responsibility with the need to attract the best students, faculty and staff. And, fifth, to promote the strengths of Teachers College on local, national and international levels.
Growth and Rebuilding
C
ommenting on the state of Teachers College in 2002, President Arthur Levine described the period since 1994 as one of “unprecedented growth and rebuilding for Teachers College.” In that span of time, he added, “we enlarged our faculty, reduced teaching loads, launched several important initiatives and redefined Teachers College as an activist institution, committed to universal access to quality education, especially
for disadvantaged and urban peoples. We eradicated our debt while building our capital strength and for the first time instituted real financial controls and budget processes. We launched a capital campaign, improved our administrative services, created technology infrastructure and gained new visibility in the community.”
A New Residence Hall to Open in 2004
A
new residence hall, scheduled for occupancy in September 2004, is being built on 121st and 122nd Streets between Broadway and Amsterdam. The project consists of two buildings connected at the basem*nt and entry levels with 252 studio apartments with private bathrooms and each 225 square feet in size. The first floor includes a lobby, study lounge and two group study rooms, outfitted with computers, that open to a landscaped courtyard. The design of the residence hall makes use of brick, terra cotta and articulated window fames that are compatible to the architectural traditions of the Morningside Heights neighborhood.
New Student Computing Support Center Opened
A
renovated Student Computing Support Center opened in February 2003 with increased space for additional computers, better lighting, cooling and heating and new furniture. Each individually fabricated workstation, with brand new computers and flat-panel monitors, is disability accessible with curved partitions that echo a higher ceiling with a serpentine, soffitted curve. The lighting fixtures provide reflected light off the ceiling that reduce glare, rather than direct down light. About one-quarter of the space is separated by a glass partition, providing an area for students to gather for group work without disturbing the rest of the people in the room. Funding for the support center came from the Oceanic Heritage Foundation.

eachers College ranked fourth in the 2003 U.S. News & World Report rankings of education schools. The College was tied with Vanderbilt’s Peabody College with a combined score of 90. Harvard School of Education was first, Stanford second with a score of 95 and UCLA’s School of Education third with a score of 93. While faring better on most categories, Teachers College was weaker than most of the other top schools in facultyfunded research, accounting for 30 percent of the ranking, mainly because Teachers College places heavy emphasis on teacher education. In the area of specialties, Teachers College ranked third in Curriculum/Instruction, fourth in Elementary Education and Education Policy, fifth in Secondary Education, seventh in Administration/Supervision, eighth in Educational Psychology and ninth in Higher Education Administration.

RESEARCH AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES TEACHING
AND
STUDIO PRESENCE
IN THE
ARTS
“A critical component of the Arts program at Teachers College is preparation of students for teaching positions in the public and private schools and higher education institutions, supervisory posts in the arts, museum administration and gallery management. We match this aspect of our program by a strong studio presence in art, music and dance with exhibitions of paintings, recitals and concerts.” JUDITH M. BURTON, Professor of Art Educaton
CENTERS
AND
INSTITUTES
Organized research and service activities at Teachers College, in addition to being carried on by individual professors, are conducted through special projects and major institutes. Students, in limited number, serve in these institutes and projects as assistants, sometimes with academic credit, thus extending their professional experience while at the College. The Center for Adult Education is interested in research on adult and organizational learning; and on transformative learning for adults in a variety of settings. The Center has conducted award-winning research on literacy and has pioneered an innovative Action Research Professional Development program (ARPD) for literacy teachers through reflective practice and experimentation in the classroom. The Center has also conducted many formative evaluation studies of adult education initiatives using Perspective Discrepancy Assessment. For further information contact Professor Victoria Marsick, Teachers College, Columbia University, 525 W. 120th St., Box 112, New York, NY 10027; telephone 212-678-3754. The Center for Arts Education Research consists of an interdisciplinary arts group which engages in basic and applied research in the arts and human development, art education and the arts in education. The Center calls upon expertise from professionals in the arts: visual, music, dance, theater and media and also from philosophy, cognitive and developmental psychology, curriculum, education and technology. A mix of focuses characterize the Center’s work. Studies explore the role of the arts in diverse educational settings from the vantage point of school reform, curriculum development, arts integration and assessment. Of particular interest is the role of the arts as they interweave in urban culture and education. Other studies deal directly with aspects of artistic-aesthetic thinking, perception and action both within and across the diverse domains of the arts. For more information, contact co-directors Professors Hal Abeles and Judith Burton, Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
sity, Box 78, 525 West 120th St., New York, NY 10027; telephone 212-678-3288. The Center for Children and Families, directed by Virginia and Leonard Marx Professors Sharon Lynn Kagan and Jeanne Brooks-Gunn, advances the policy, education, and development of children and their families. The Center produces and applies interdisciplinary research to improve practice and to raise public awareness of social issues that affect the well-being of America’s children and families. This work is accomplished through cutting-edge research and analyses; the systematic training of future leaders, scholars, and policy scientists; and dissemination of information to the media, policy makers, and practitioners on the front lines. Research The Center brings Judith M. Burton, Professor of Art Education together leading scholars from psychology, education, health, family studies, psychiatry, sociology, economics, and political science in the interdisciplinary analyses of complex social phenomena. This work is focused in five domains: Early Care and Education; Families; School Transitions and Readiness; Systems/Governance; and Neighborhood/Community. Research ranges from empirical studies to evaluation of intervention and prevention programs to analytic investigation of major issues that affect children and families.

RESEARCH AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES DISCOVERING PREVENTION
AND
I N T E R V E N T I O N S T R AT E G I E S
“The center is focused on finding proactive ways to support research with direct applications to the lives of people with disabilities. Our interest is in discovering prevention and intervention strategies that can prevent the adverse effects of poverty and disability and improve the academic, personal, and social outcomes of education programs. Center activities are aimed at increasing opportunities for individuals with disabilities to be self-determined, fully included members of society. These efforts include studies designed to increase academic and social resilience and to decrease vulnerability to abuse in high-risk adolescents and adults.” L I N D A H I C K S O N , Professor of Education and Director, Center for Opportunities and Outcomes for People with Disabilities
Training and Fellowship Opportunities Individuals currently engaged in graduate work at Teachers College and Columbia University are eligible for formal affiliation with the Center. Students with policy research interests in children and families may be considered for Graduate Fellowships. Training activities include the formal enrollment in degreeseeking programs and the coursework attendant to degree candidacy. Research scientists are an integral part of the Center, managing specific projects, training master’s- and doctoral-level students, and writing policy reports. Also part of the life of the Center are Research Affiliates, junior faculty from Columbia University and across the nation who desire specific training and mentoring in child and family policy. Additional training opportunities are available to graduate students through internships and practica. Policy, Legislative and Dissemination Opportunities The Center’s faculty and fellows are engaged in numerous policy, legislative, and dissemination activities. The Center sponsors quarterly policy seminars and a Policy/Leadership Institute for non-matriculating students and practitioners. Also offered are Putting Children First, a summer fellowship that places advanced doctoral students in NYC agencies, nonprofit organizations, and foundations to learn how policy is implemented, as well as the Federal Policy Institute, a multi-disciplinary Washington-based effort, in conjunction with the Center for Educational Outreach and Innovation, that provides hands-on policy experiences for 40 Teachers College students annually. In addition, the Center collaborates with leading national policyrelated groups in key efforts, including the systematic dissemination of research to legislators through the National Conference of State Legislatures and work with the National Governors Association and Education Commission of the States. With its array of policy briefs, publications, and resource guides, the Center reaches a wide audience, including the media, decision makers and practitioners. Through testimony to policy makers from the legislative and executive branches of
42
government, active engagement with national research and professional organizations and editorial policy boards, and participation in national study panels, the Center is constantly extending its reach to improve practice and raise public awareness of social issues that affect the well-being of young children and Linda Hickson, Professor of Education families. For more information, contact Professor Jeanne Brooks-Gunn, Teachers College, Columbia University, Box 39, 525 West 120th St., New York, NY 10027, 212-678-3904, [emailprotected], or Professor Sharon Lynn Kagan, Teachers College, Columbia University, Box 226, 525 West 120th St., New York, NY 10027, 212-678-8255, [emailprotected]. The Center for Opportunities and Outcomes for People with Disabilities (formerly the Research and Demonstration Center for Handicapped Children) confronts the challenges facing special education today and broadens the scope of research at Teachers College. The Center is committed to producing knowledge and professional expertise that will enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities. The Center for Opportunities and Outcomes for People with Disabilities is committed to supporting research, evaluation, and demonstration efforts aimed at increasing opportunities for individuals with special needs to become fully-included members of society. Three broad priorities are reflected in the themes of the Center:
RESEARCH AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES C O L L A B O R AT I O N
A
KEY INFLUENCE
“Group dynamics play a dominant role in almost every aspect of our daily lives—in families, learning environments, institutions and organizations, and society as a whole. Whatever the venue, collaboration is a key influence in achieving sound objectives from relationships in the community, the workplace, the classroom, or the household. With an understanding of both small and large group dynamics, as well as such concepts as boundaries, authority, role, and task, that collaboration can take the form of shared visions, agreement on plans of responsibility, and participation in action steps. Having a stake in the process can yield good results in the outcome.” D E B R A A. N O U M A I R , Associate Professor of Psychology and Education
Empowerment. Research and demonstration efforts to enhance capacity and opportunities for independence and self-determination. Prevention. Research and demonstration efforts to prevent negative outcomes often associated with disability, including reducing vulnerability to victimization and abuse. Diversity. Research and demonstration efforts to address disability-related issues of culturally and ethnically diverse groups, including women and minorities. For information, contact Professor Linda Hickson, The Center for Opportunities and Outcomes for People with Disabilities, Teachers College, Columbia University, Box 223, 525 W. 120th St. New York, NY 10027. The Center on Chinese Education is aimed at contributing to a better understanding of education in China and to educational exchange between the United States and China. It seeks to achieve this mission through three categories of activities: research and development, education and training, as well as outreach and exchange. These activities draw upon the historically special relationship between Chinese Education and Teachers College, the interests and expertise of the faculty at Teachers College, as well as expertise and resources outside of Teachers College. The Director of the Center is Dr. Mun C. Tsang, Professor of Education at Teachers College. Major funding for the Center’s activities is provided by the Henry Luce Foundation and the Ford Foundation. The Center’s Website is located at www.tc.columbia.edu/centers/coce. The Center for Health Promotion, which was established in 1981, has comprised diverse working groups of faculty and students interested in stimulating research and development efforts responsive to national priorities in health promotion and disease prevention. Historically, the work of participating faculty and students has spanned both basic and applied research and development, and has included projects focusing on the influences of personal behavior on health status, as well as how educational
and behavioral intervention can be used to improve health and prevent premature death and disability throughout the human life span through schools, patient care, workplace, and other community-based settings. Faculty of the center have been instrumental in organizing and Debra A. Noumair, Associate Professor of supporting the develPsychology and Education opment of multidisciplinary teams capable of competing for external grant support to address complex research questions. These teams have collaborated on consortium projects with physicians and with behavioral scientists, biostatisticians, epidemiologists, economists, and other experts, and often involve graduate students from the programs in the health studies cluster of the Department of Health and Behavior Studies. Extensive collaborative research activities have been undertaken during the last two decades with faculty from the various schools of the Columbia University Faculty of Medicine, including the School of Nursing, College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the Joseph A. Mailman School of Public Health; Weill Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences of Cornell University; and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Center projects and investigators have been funded by grants from several of the National Institutes of Health and numerous private foundations, including the Arthritis Foundation, Cancer Research Foundation of America, W. K. Kellogg Foundation, Metropolitan Life Foundation, and the Pew Memorial Trusts.
43
RESEARCH AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES In addition to publication in scientific journals, faculty of the Center have also contributed to the science base underlying professional practice and policy development in health promotion and disease prevention by providing consultation and technical assistance to private and voluntary health organizations, such as the National Center for Health Education; and governmental agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Faculty have also consulted on various international efforts, including the Vietnam Rehabilitation Project, a multinational effort of Health Volunteers Overseas and the U.S. Agency for International Development to assist in the development of new curricula for professional preparation in medicine, nursing, and public health; the Verona Initiative, a multi-sector European partnership for health development organized by the World Health Organization European Regional Office; the Salzburg Seminar Special Session on Critical Issues in Global Health: Leadership Challenges in the 21st Century; and the National Health Education Advocacy Summit.

The Center for Social Imagination, the Arts, and Education Imagination must be released in all dimensions of education . . . Maxine Greene Founded and directed by Teachers College Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and Education Maxine Greene, the Center for Social Imagination, the Arts, and Education is committed to the development of alternative modes of inventing, creating, and interpreting. Through these endeavors of the imagination, and through its series of interdisciplinary programs, the Center seeks to shape visions of “a lovelier world,” embracing, in all its diverse cultural richness, one humanity. Working in the tradition of Dewey, James, and the Existentialists, the Center brings schoolchildren, artists, academics, and social activists together in conferences and workshops to explore possibilities of reform and transformation in schools and social communities. By sponsoring monthly “salons,” the Center attempts to generate dialogue and research projects that open new perspectives in the arts, humanities, and the human sciences. The Center is also in the process of developing networks that bring together art institutions, public schools, and Teachers College in order to investigate, document, and articulate just what role encounters with the arts—including the quintessential 20th century art forms of film and video—might play in inspiring social visions and, by consequence, in effectuating vibrant, moral communities. The Center, in its desire “to enlarge the conversation, to try for clarity, to persuade,” will, in addition, publish occasional essays, in both belles letters and position paper formats, reflecting imagi-
44
native thinking and advocacy in these areas of concern. The Center for Social Imagination, the Arts, and Education is affiliated with the Teachers College Center for Educational Outreach and Innovation. It is funded by the Aaron Diamond Foundation, the Solidago Foundation, and an anonymous donor. For more information, write to Dr. Maxine Greene, Teachers College, Columbia University, Box 132, 525 West 120th Street, New York, NY 10027. The Center for Technology and School Change helps schools integrate technology into their curricula and daily lives, by planning with schools for the use of technology, educating teachers how to use it, planning curriculum projects that include technology, helping teachers to implement projects, and assessing the effect of technology on schools. The Center is based on the idea that technology will have a large impact on the structure of schooling, as it has in the past, and that schools must plan for the kinds of change they want it to have. We believe that technology should be integrated with curriculum in ways that emphasize active student learning, collaboration, interdisciplinary learning and problem-solving in areas that are meaningful to schools, and conducts site-based research.

The Community College Research Center (CCRC) was created in 1996 with support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and is housed at the Institute on Education and the Economy (IEE)
Susan Recchia, Associate Professor of Education
RESEARCH AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES at Teachers College. Since its inception, the CCRC has taken a broad and comprehensive view of the community college, seeking out the most important issues confronting these institutions. Since community colleges are vital to the aspirations of people and their communities, it is imperative that they remain part of the mainstream research agenda. The mission of the Community College Research Center is to carry out and promote research on major issues affecting the development, growth, and changing roles of community colleges in the United States. In addition to carrying out our own research, the CCRC strives to strengthen the research capacity both within the colleges and the broader community, attract new scholars to the field, promote discussion and debate about crucial and often controversial issues, and disseminate existing research. CCRC is directed by Dr. Thomas Bailey, the George and Abby O’Neill Professor of Economics and Education in the Department of International and Transcultural Studies, who is also the Director of the IEE at TC. Currently, CCRC’s research is focused on the following: multiple missions of community colleges; remediation and academic preparedness; alternative pathways for students through postsecondary education; certification and workforce development; connections between the high school and community college; the rise of new competitors; distance education; increasing state and federal demands for accountability and assessment; dual credit programs and transition to college; counseling and student support services; and nursing education and skill requirements. Several Teachers College faculty and faculty from other schools at Columbia, as well as other universities and research organizations, also work with CCRC. In addition, the Center draws on expertise from a national advisory board of community college practitioners, policymakers, and research scholars.

The Hollingworth Center, a program within the Department of Curriculum and Teaching at Teachers College, Columbia University, is a service, research, and demonstration site. Designed to provide internship and training opportunities for the graduate students at Teachers College, the Center develops model programs in early childhood education, and offers enriching educational services for children and educators in the neighboring communities. Primarily concerned with nurturing the development of young children, the Center was established by Professors James Borland and Heidi Hayes Jacobs in 1981. Over the past 20 years, the Center has been recognized internationally for its exemplary educational programs, grant projects, teacher development efforts, and research contributions. Opportunities For Graduate Students The Hollingworth Center is an integral component of the Department of Curriculum and Teaching and the Education of the Gifted program. The Center works collaboratively with numerous graduate students and provides them with experiences that enhance their academic programs. These opportunities, made available to students across the College, are extensive and include internships, teaching, research, observations, seminars, assessment, and curriculum design. Each of the positions within the Center provides a salary or stipend and many also offer tuition exemption. The Center awards annual travel grants to graduate students who are presenting their work at professional conferences such as NAGC, NAEYC, or AERA. Service and Demonstration Programs The service and demonstration programs of the Center include the July Science Program, Math and Science Enrichment Classes, Project APEX, Community Staff Development Outreach, and the Booktalk Group. Each of these programs provides opportunities that nurture the talent development of the partic46
ipants. The children served by the Center are from diverse backgrounds, some of whom are supported through scholarships. The model programs of the Center offer pre-service and in-service educators the opportunity to design and field test innovative curricula and instructional strategies. These results are then disseminate to a broad range of schools and informal educational institutions. The Center hosts a number of visitors on an ongoing basis and the work of the Center is presented at national and international conferences annually. International Collaborations The Hollingworth Center maintains an ongoing relationship with talent development projects in Brazil and Pakistan. Research The primary research mission of the Center focuses on the talent development of young children from diverse backgrounds. The Center has contributed to the body of research concerning the identification and education of young, potentially gifted children from economically disadvantaged families. The Center’s Director was the co-recipient of two Papers of Year awards from the national Association for Gifted Children for two journal articles related to this topic. Other projects of the Center include developing community in the classroom, differentiated curriculum design, and the scientific thinking of young children. The J.M. Huber Institute for Learning in Organizations conducts research on learning and change in organizations. The Institute works through partnerships with organizations, including businesses, not-for-profits, and government agencies. The Institute assists organizations that want to improve their ability to use learning strategically to address business and organizational challenges. Partner organizations and researchers associated with the Institute create and share learning tools, strategies, and results as they work together to solve problems. Groups of organizations working together on common problems study their solutions and interventions in order to improve knowledge about their effectiveness. For information, contact either of the Institute’s Co-Directors, Dr. Martha A. Gephart or Victoria J. Marsick, at the J.M. Huber Institute for Learning in Organizations, Teachers College, Columbia University, Box 187, 525 West 120th Street, New York, NY 10027. The Institute for Learning Technologies (ILT) uses digital communications technologies to advance innovation in education and society. Rapid change in information technology is reconfiguring social, cultural and intellectual possibilities. University research, K–12 and post-secondary education, the arts, community and political activities, and social exchange are all in transition. ILT is a major element of Columbia University’s effort to shape these transitions—transitions that are central to the University’s mission and practice.
RESEARCH AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES ILT takes education in its broadest sense as its primary area of work. In practice, it promotes an intellectually rigorous progressive education accessible to all. To renew progressivism, educators must pose powerful generative questions in cooperative settings; and limitations on the intellectual resources available to students; enable teachers and students to communicate beyond the classroom; and provide advanced tools of analysis, synthesis and simulation. Increasing the interaction of pre-college and higher education is important. The new technologies provide effective support for such novel interactions. The education of the 21st century will feature extensive collaboration among scholars, teachers, university students, librarians, museum professionals, community organizers, parents, and children of all ages, and these relationships may span great distances and bridge significant cultural divides. ILT pursues an integrated program of design, development, implementation, and evaluation. • School-based projects aim to alter the classroom through infrastructure planning and installation, content and curriculum creation, professional development, technical support, and evaluation. • Professional development includes workshops on the use of generic and project-specific technologies, seminars on curriculum design and development, and consultations by content experts and instructional technologists. • Content projects develop multimedia to support innovation in education, delivering high-quality intellectual resources and learning tools to students. • Evaluation projects document the impact of programs and the principles of good design, working with groups in the commercial, governmental, non-profit, and educational sectors.
dents and the schools that serve them. Historically, the work has been organized by the themes of (1) education as an anti-poverty strategy as a means for upward social and economic opportunity and mobility, (2) equality of educational opportunity and strategies for achieving educational equity, (3) the achievement of multicultural competence in the context of concern for diversity and pluralism, and (4) the reform of schools serving ethnic minority and urban populations. Since the year 2000, IUME has added a concern for the challenge of uncoupling academic achievement from the social divisions into which students fall, i.e., class, ethnicity, first language, and gender. The Institute approaches the problem of improving the quality of urban education and minority education in three ways: (1) by conceptualizing fundamental problems and formulating systematic programs of research to produce new knowledge and improved solutions, (2) by translating and disseminating this knowledge and applying it in practical situations through its ERIC center, courses of instruction and conferences, and (3) by developing new programs, techniques, instruments, and materials that can be disseminated in a variety of educational settings. This is now being accomplished through programs of research, professional development, technical assistance, knowledge dissemination, public awareness, and community and youth services. Because the work of the Institute tends to fall in “Pasteur’s Quadrant” (empirical investigation of practical problems, informed by theory that is grounded in multiple disciplines) it always has had a staff drawn from many disciplines, who take activist roles in solving the problems of urban and minority education. For further information, address specific inquiries to the IUME Director, Box 75, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027; telephone: 212-678-3780.

The Institute for Higher Education promotes and supports scholarly activity on the range of purposes, practices, policies, problems, and perspectives framing the higher education enterprise now, in the past, and potentially in the future. The Institute views postsecondary teaching, learning, and scholarly and creative endeavor in social, political, economic, and historic perspective, and promotes efforts to strengthen and enrich these “core” activities for all participants in the higher education enterprise. As such, it supports explorations of the organization and functions of the higher education enterprise, the larger social, political, and economic environments in which the enterprise evolves and to which it provides returns, and its internal educational and knowledge-based activity, as well as relationships among these. Director: Anna Neumann, Prof. of Higher Education, Box 101, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027. The Institute of International Studies was created in 1964 to strengthen the research arm of the College’s international enterprise. With the initial aid of a major grant from the Ford Foundation, the Institute began its work with a focus on theoretical and practical studies of the role of education in the modernization of traditional societies. For over a decade, the Institute sponsored and supervised substantial research on Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the industrial nations as well as on a variety of cross-cultural and comparative studies. The Institute helps to formulate and coordinate the College’s international effort, to serve as both catalyst and repository for grants and gifts in aid of international studies at the College, to strengthen instructional programs with comparative and international thrusts, and to upgrade the quality of research on international or crossnational themes.

The National Center for Restructuring Education, Schools, and Teaching (NCREST), established at Teachers College in 1990, works to develop understandings that help schools become learner-and learning-centered, knowledge-based, and responsive and responsible. Since its inception NCREST has conducted research in the critical areas of school reform such as assessment, accountability, standards, restructuring elementary, middle, and high school organization, instruction, curriculum, and teacher learning, small schools, new-school creation, big school conversions, school leadership, professional development, teacher education, professional development schools, multi-cultural education, equity, new-English language learning, education for under-served and under-performing students, the minority achievement gap, technology, state and local policy, and systemic reform. NCREST has collaborated with school districts, networks, and non-profit organizations on the development of standards and assessments, interventions for students at risk, technology integration, and professional development and pedagogy for diversity and equity. Evaluations conducted by NCREST include the Philadelphia Children Achieving Initiative for the William Penn Foundation, the College Preparation curriculum for the College Board, and the Eiffel Project, a Federal technology challenge grant. NCREST’s research builds concrete, detailed knowledge about the intense and difficult efforts undertaken in reforming education and schools. This knowledge is used to help diverse stakeholders make change, build education programs for school practitioners, and promote the environmental and policy changes that will nurture and encourage needed structural and instructional reforms. NCREST has produced about 50 publications, reports, and videos, all of which are designed to be accessible to diverse audiences including policy makers, practitioners, researchers, and the public. NCREST brings together many voices—those of practitioners and researchers; parents, teachers and students, policymakers and teacher educators, and funders and journalists-in multiple forums including conferences, seminars, meetings, and work
groups and creates opportunities for them to collaborate. As a network of networks, NCREST has convened national conferences on topics, such as authentic assessment, accountability, school restructuring, and high stakes testing, that examine critical issues and showcase promising, on the ground practices and policy alternatives. The NCREST team includes senior and junior researchers with extensive experience in basic and applied research, formative and summative evaluation, and qualitative and quantitative methodology. Jacqueline Ancess is the director of NCREST. For further information contact NCREST, Teachers College, Columbia University, 525 W. 120th St., Box 110, New York, NY 10027; telephone: 212-678-3432. The National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education (NCSPE) serves as a non-partisan venue to analyze and disseminate information about the controversies surround such private initiatives in education as vouchers, tuition tax credits, charter schools and educational contracting. Proponents of privatization view the movement as improving school choice, student outcomes and innovation through competition in the marketplace. They point to the poor performance of urban schools and how competition might convert failure into success. Opponents argue that the movement undermines already flagging urban public schools, depriving the system of motivated students and scarce resources to bring about reform, and leads to increased segregation of students. Currently there is no disinterested authority to test and verify the conflicting claims of proponents and opponents, leaving the debate to those who argue on ideological grounds rather than empirical data. In evaluating different privatization plans, the center uses four criteria: the freedom for parents to choose schools; productive efficiency that maximizes school results; equity that provides access for all to the range of educational opportunities, and social cohesion that prepares youngsters for democratic and civic participation. The Privatization Center is affiliated with the Department of International and Transcultural Studies. Its Director is Henry M. Levin, William Heard Kilpatrick Professor of Economics and Education. The Center disseminates its research, policy analysis through conferences, the World Wide Web, publications and the media. It also has entered a partnership with the Education Commission of the States and other organizations to provide information to governors, state legislatures and state departments of education, professional educators, and a broad public audience.

RESEARCH AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES CURRICULUM MAKERS
“In preparing our graduate students to teach reading and writing, I urge them to think for themselves in the classroom, avoid orthodoxy, ask questions, be flexible, and don’t take everything for granted. I want them to become researchers in the classrooms, documenting what they observe children doing, linking that to educational theories, and become curriculum makers themselves.” M A R J O R I E S I E G E L , Associate Professor of Education
The Rita Gold Early Childhood Center serves to support and promote the growth and development of infants, toddlers, preschoolers and their families through four inter-related practices: supportive early care and education for very young children; transMarjorie Siegel, Associate Professor of disciplinary profesEducation sional preparation for students; ongoing research to improve practice and inform theory in early development, care and education for young children and families; and outreach within and beyond the Teachers College community. Located at the College, the Center provides inclusive and culturally responsive care within mixed-age groups for children ages six weeks through five years and their families who are affiliated with Columbia University. Founded in 1982 as the Center for Infants and Parents, the Center’s growth and development has been supported over the years through the gifts of many kind and generous donors. We are grateful to Rita and Herbert Gold for their support of our most recent expansion. The Rita Gold Center is a resource for students across the College who are engaged in observation, teaching, and research with young children and families.

The Teachers College Reading and Writing Project is a staff development organization that works in intimate and long-lasting ways with communities of educators in the New York City metropolitan area and also provides more limited assistance to
52
educators in schools from all over the United States. Currently the Project serves over 100 schools. For two decades, the Project has supported educators establishing reading and writing workshops in which teachers act as mentors and coaches to children. Project staff and teachers become co-researchers, observing what children do in writing and reading, theorizing about what their behaviors mean, and planning teaching moves to help them learn. To nurture this school-based work, Project staff meet at the College with educators from Project schools: Each week over 100 teachers gather in study groups focusing on becoming teacher-leaders in workshop teaching, and each month over 100 principals gather focusing on the problems, challenges, and opportunities of being a school leader in literacy education. The Project’s school-based consulting, study groups, and thinktanks are complemented by an array of other professional education opportunities at the College. Throughout the year, thousands of teachers attend sixty full-day Project-run conferences providing information and insight about how to structure and sustain high quality literacy education. Every summer, three thousand teachers attend one of several week-long Project Institutes which include keynote addresses, small groups study, and interactive discussion groups. The Project was founded and is directed by Lucy McCormick Calkins, Professor of Education.

RECIPE
FOR
DISASTER
“All of us concerned about the quality of education in our public schools believe in high standards to improve student performance. It is self-defeating, however, to impose standards, as New York is doing, without providing the resources to implement them. The proper way to introduce new standards is to analyze the approaches necessary to achieve them and then work back to determine what that would cost and allocate the funding to phase in the qualifying examinations. Teachers need lead time for retraining to prepare students for the tests and students need a long time to prepare to take the tests. It is eminently unfair to prescribe tests for graduation without fulfilling the prescription.” G A R Y N AT R I E L L O , Professor of Sociology and Education and Acting Director, Milbank Memorial Library

“Speech pathology is a profession that focuses on preventing and rehabilitating a wide variety of communications disorders and difficulties. They include articulation disorders, language delay, accent problems, stuttering, swallowing problems, and deficits from strokes. In addressing these concerns, our graduate students work with clients in clinic settings on campus and in field placements off campus. One of the reasons our graduates are so much in demand as professionals is the wealth of practical experience they have. That, combined with the physiological and neurological aspects of speech, leads them to career positions in schools, geriatric clinics, hospitals, rehabilitation units, speech clinics, and private practice. Our students need not have undergraduate training in the field, but we attract the best and most interesting candidates because of the rigorous and rewarding program we offer.” P AT R I C I A S W E E T I N G , Director, Edward D.

Teachers College offers a wide variety of educational experiences for students at the preservice and in-service levels. The Office of Field Support Services assists the many teacher education programs located in various departments at the College. Programs are field-based, offering up to two semesters of observations, internships, and student teaching. Departments offer, for qualified holders of a bachelor’s degree, programs that lead simultaneously to a Master of Arts degree and to New York State certification for teaching in elementary or secondary schools. Many of these departments also offer New York State Teacher Certification with a bilingual extension. Except for candidates who have completed student teaching before admission to Teachers College, the programs require an academic year and a summer term (see both the statements in this catalog and the supplementary requirements bulletins of the departments listed below). Applicants need not have included courses in education in their undergraduate programs, but inadequate preparation in the proposed teaching field may necessitate additional course work to fulfill the usual requirements for the Master’s degree. Application for admission to all programs should be made to the Office of Admission, Teachers College. In some programs
RESEARCH AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES
enrollment is limited; thus early application for admission is advisable. Some programs offer partial tuition grants to qualified applicants. Persons interested in learning more about the College’s preservice and in-service programs in teacher education should contact Thomas J. Jennings, Associate Dean for Teacher Education. New York State and New York City Certification of Teachers and Administrators Requirements for teaching and administration and supervisory positions vary throughout the country. The completion of a degree does not automatically mean fulfillment of state/city certification requirements in states other than New York. Such requirements are to be taken into consideration during program completion. Test requirements also vary from state to state. A passing score on the New York State Teacher Certification Examinations (NYSTCE) is required for those wishing New York State Certification in secondary academic subjects and in elementary education. All persons applying for New York State Certification must have proof of completion of a two-session course providing instruction in the detection and reporting of child abuse; and a second two-hour course on school violence prevention. There are several web-based opportunities to meet these requirements. In addition, applicants for New York State Teacher Certification must satisfy qualitative and personal requirements. For permanent certification, applicants must receive a Master’s degree in the field, or a related field in which he or she received a provisional license and complete two years of full-time teaching experience on the provisional license. Students desiring to fulfill requirements for teacher certification in states other than New York should confer, at an early stage of their study, with the Associate Dean for Teacher Education. For New York State certification, the student obtains from and returns to the Registrar the appropriate New York State Teacher Certification Application form. Students desiring New York City licensure as a teacher or administrator should inquire at the New York City Department of Education, Division of Personnel, 65 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201, to ascertain specific requirements. New York State approved teacher education programs are available in: Elementary Education Nursery through Grade 6 • Nursery schools, day-care centers, kindergartens, elementary, and middle schools (ages 2 to 14) through the programs in Curriculum and Teaching • Art, music, and dance through the programs in the Department of Arts and Humanities
• Teaching of remedial reading and teaching the mentally retarded, physically handicapped, hearing impaired, visually impaired, emotionally disturbed, neurologically impaired through the programs in the Department of Health and Behavior Studies Intermediate or Middle Schools and Junior and Senior High Schools • Elementary education for intermediate or middle schools through the programs in Curriculum and Teaching • Remedial reading through the programs in the Department of Health and Behavior Studies • English, social studies, TESOL, art and music through the programs in the Department of Arts and Humanities • Physical education and speech pathology through the programs in the Departments of Biobehavioral Sciences and Health and Behavior Studies • Mathematics, general science, biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics through the programs in the Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology • Bilingual education through the Department of International and Transcultural Studies Student Teaching and Prerequisites The student must satisfy certain requirements set by the department in the areas of specialization. Elementary Childhood Education Students enrolled in pre-service programs in Early Childhood or Elementary Education (preparing for certification in Elementary Education) must take student teaching courses. The program includes all-day and part day student teaching for one or two terms. State regulations require students teach at the lower elementary grade levels (K-3) and at upper elementary grade levels (4-6). Junior High School and Senior High School Teaching Before beginning student teaching, students preparing for teaching fields at the secondary level must as a rule have been enrolled at Teachers College for a specified period of time to be determined by the department. Summer attendance may be applied toward this requirement. Because of new New York State requirements, many students must have student teaching experience at both the junior high (grades 7-9) and high school (grades 10-12) levels. Some departments require students to complete both placements in the course of one semester, others require two semesters of student teaching, either in the regular terms. In planning programs, students must be prepared to meet the heavy time demands of student teaching in the cooperating schools and
59
RESEARCH AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES in the student teaching seminars. Programs usually require student teachers (1) to have all mornings (or in some cases all afternoons) free for student teaching throughout the entire Autumn or Spring term, or both terms of the cooperating school and (2) to carry a reduced program (including the credit for the student teaching course) while doing student teaching. More specific information is available from each department. Special Education Students enrolled in pre-service Special Education programs must take student teaching courses. The programs usually include all-day or part-day student teaching for one or two terms. More specific information is available in the areas of specialization in the department. Procedures for Student Teaching and Field-Based Teaching Since early arrangements must be made for placing prospective candidates in cooperating schools, students interested in student teaching courses should secure the student teaching application form from the Office of Teacher Education (Box 97) well in advance of the term in which they wish to enroll in student teaching and should request a copy of “Student Teaching Handbook” which provides general information having to do with student teaching. Teacher Opportunity Corps The Teacher Opportunity Corps has been established to encourage individuals to prepare to teach in urban settings and to serve the needs of students at risk of dropping out of school. The program emphasizes knowledge of urban schools, effective teaching strategies, and reflection on teaching. Students who are N.Y. State residents, who are not permanently certified to teach in N.Y. State, and are African-American, Hispanic, Native American or Alaskan-American are eligible for this program. Those selected for this program are awarded a stipend each semester and are eligible for a variety of academic supports.

THE OFFICE
OF
DIVERSITY
AND
COMMUNITY
The Office of Diversity and Community was mandated by the President’s Diversity Taskforce Report of 1999. Since that time the Office has worked to address, enhance and invigorate TC’s engagement of diversity, community and civility issues. Led by educator and TC alumna Janice S. Robinson, Esq., Special Counsel to the President, Office of Diversity and Community, the office’s philosophy is to focus on systemic issues by addressing policies and procedures throughout the college with TC’s policymakers. These issues can overlap with potential legal concerns (i.e. discrimination, due process, equity and retaliation). Robinson also functions as a liaison to outside counsel and as an ombudsperson for staff and faculty. She is a member of the president’s senior staff. The Office of Diversity and Community, with the assistance of faculty, staff, students, alumni and administration, focuses its efforts on activities, projects and funding to support work that enhances the College’s academic and working environments and culture; improves TC-wide communications on multiple levels; continues positive TC community interactions and activities; continues review of Diversity Task Force Report recommendations; and, finally, improves links between TC and the surrounding external community.
RESEARCH AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES DEVELOPING CAREERS
“The Career Services Center strives to provide current students and alumni with a range of career development resources in order to position them for advancement in their present field or to serve as a transition into a new career path. Students and alumni have the ability to interact with the Career Services Center staff both in person and online. This enhances the Center’s ability to be much more comprehensive in meeting the needs of the constituencies we serve by circumventing geographical and time challenges. The Career Services Center wants to be an integral part of every student and alumni’s academic experience at Teachers College and welcomes the opportunity to participate in their professional development.” MARIANNE TRAMELLI, Director of Career Services and Student Life
To this end, the Office developed and implemented a presidential college-wide grant program for diversity and community projects/activities and a research grant program for students engaged in diversity issues. The Office also sponsors programming at the college, which has included a series of conversations with the President and talks on building community as well as civil liberties and terrorism. It also sponsors community breakfasts for faculty and staff and it reinvigorated the new student facebook.
STUDENT LIFE
AND
STUDENT SERVICES
Teachers College combines a large number of part-time students who are very much involved in professional education circles with full-time students preparing for careers in education. Parttime students are largely commuters, while full-time students usually reside on or nearby the campus. Student life and student services are organized to meet the sometimes separate and different interests of both full-time and part-time students. Depending on their availability and schedules, Teachers College students can take advantage of an array of activities and services. They include career services, student organizations, student government, fitness and recreation, health services and insurance, social and cultural activities. Career Services Career Services provides current students and alumni with the career planning resources essential to the development and refinement of their job search skills. Individual consultations and group workshops on career planning and job development equip participants with the skills necessary for a successful job search. Students and alumni have online capabilities to search for employers and job descriptions, submit resumes and cover letters, and sign up for on-campus and off-campus interviews.
As part of this online recruitment program, employers are able to offer Teachers College students and alumni both internship and full-time positions. In addition, a range of other job opportunities, external to the on-campus recruitment program, are available as online postings that students and alumni can review and apply to Marianne Tramelli directly. During the spring semester, two education job fairs are offered, the K-12 Education Job Fair and the New York City Department of Education Job Fair. Not-forProfit organizations also visit the campus in the spring for the Columbia University-sponsored Not-for-Profit and Public Service Career Fair. Also online, the Alumni Mentoring Initiative offers a forum where alumni and students can connect to engage in networking and information sharing. For those students and alumni requiring a centralized location for letters of reference and other pertinent materials for graduate school applications and/or for conducting a job search a 24-hour online service is available. Students and alumni will also find additional resources in the office’s on-site Career Resource Library, as well as on the office’s website: www.tc.columbia.edu/~career-services. Sample resources include: career and job search guides, school directories, educational publications, teacher certification information, and graduate study and teacher licensing examination bulletins.

COURSE NUMBERING
Beginning with the Autumn 1998 semester course designations for departments have changed to reflect the reorganization of the College into nine units. Formerly, all courses had a two place alphabetical sequence that began with “T”. Under the new arrangement the “T” is replaced by: A&H BBS CCP C&T HBS HUD ITS ORL MST IND
for for for for for for for for for for
Arts and Humanities Biobehavioral Studies Clinical and Counseling Psychology Curriculum and Teaching Health and Behavior Studies Human Development International and Transcultural Studies Organization and Leadership Mathematics, Science and Technology Interdepartmental Courses
The second alphabetical character under the old number system remains the same in most instances as does the four digit number; examples are: TF4070 History of Education in the United States becomes A&HF 4070 TR4095 Applied Physiology I becomes BBSR 4095 TJ6362 Group Practicum becomes CCPJ 6362 Courses that cross disciplines within a department may use the three character departmental designation only, as do the interdepartmental and the curriculum and teaching courses. The numeric portion of the course number will remain the same. The first digit of the course number indicates the level as follows: 4 initial graduate 5 intermediate graduate 6 advanced graduate 7 dissertation seminar 8 dissertation advisem*nt 9 postdoctoral. The second digit indicates types of offering, as follows: 0 lecture 1 lecture 2 fieldwork 3 practicum 4 internship 5 seminar 6 colloquium 7 student teaching 8 workshop 9 independent study. The third and fourth digits indicate internal program and course identifications.

Departmental Mission:
The Department of Arts and Humanities is dedicated to the study of a variety of academic and professional disciplines in an educational context. The Department’s mission is twofold: To promote proficiency in specific fields; and to explore the purposes, practices and processes of education both within—and across—disciplines. Individual fields of study include: philosophy, history, culture, criticism, religion, social studies, language studies as well as linguistics and the arts. Within the Department, individual programs preserve their own disciplinary rigor, while expanding modes of inquiry, discovery and creation across disciplines and diverse societies and cultures. The Department is committed to understanding culture as a broad and varied process, a fundamental human activity involving various modes of thinking and expression through which meaning is constructed and historically transmitted. The Department views the study of education as broad and vital. Here, intellectual and creative ideas and practices extend beyond the traditional
108
concerns of schooling. Thus, each program shares a concern with the learner’s construction of knowledge, the art and methods of teaching, the realities of the contemporary classroom, the relationship of schools to their communities, and the underlying philosophies of school reform. In each of the seven programs that prepare teachers for positions in schools and universities, there is a commitment to the education of reflective practitioners, the integration of theory and improvement of learning, as well as research and practice in the students’ chosen fields of study. Faculty share the view that informed, imaginative and critical thinking enables scholars and educators to actively shape cultural concepts of learning through education. With this in mind, the programs—both separately and together—offer students the skills and knowledge needed to thrive and assume leadership in today’s changing cultural and educational environment.

When doctoral students reach approximately 45 points in the program and have been at Teachers College for at least one year, they are required to register for and attend a doctoral seminar every semester. The doctoral seminar is considered a fundamental venue for socialization in the research culture of the field. Doctoral preparation involves three successive stages: 1. Exposure to basic research methods 2. Identification of a dissertation topic 3. Presentation of a prospectus Doctoral students are required to demonstrate research preparedness in a substantive area by passing the research paper (A&HL 5500) and the doctoral seminar (A&HL 6500). Then, as evidence that they are able to carry out original research under the guidance of a doctoral committee, they must write a dissertation prospectus as a part of the dissertation seminar (A&HL 7500) and complete a doctoral dissertation while continuously registered for dissertation advisem*nt (A&HL 8900). In order to encourage doctoral students to progress through these stages, a sequence of seminars is customarily offered. Progress through these stages usually involves enroll-

Arts Administration (Code: TGC) Program Coordinator: Professor Joan Jeffri Web site: www.tc.columbia.edu/ academic/arad Program Office: (212) 678-3268 Degree Offered: Master of Arts (M.A.) Special Application Requirements/Information: In addition to the general Teachers College admission requirements, applicants to the program must submit a third letter of reference and scores on the GRE General Test. Personal statements of 750–1000 words should indicate why applicants wish to pursue careers in arts administration, what led them to this point and what they feel makes them good candidates for admission to the program and to the field. An interview is required for finalists and will be arranged at any time in the application process by the Program Coordinator. Students usually begin the program in the fall semester only. Program Description: The program in Arts Administration encourages integration of all the arts and education, while focusing on the educational role of the artist, and the missions and activities of arts and cultural agencies, collectives, and institutions. The program reflects the conviction that the management of cultural institutions and enterprises is a profession that requires both creativity and commitment and that, at its best, the profession has a positive impact on the quality of artistic life. Arts Administration is organized in conjunction with the programs in arts and humanities education, further reflecting the importance of the basic educational role, mission, and activities of the
ARTS arts in both profit and nonprofit sectors. In order to respond to the challenge and responsibility of the arts at the start of the twentyfirst century, the arts manager must have an amalgam of managerial and financial skills, a knowledge of pertinent artistic disciplines, an awareness of community dynamics, a commitment to education in its broadest sense, and a sensitivity to the artist and the artistic process. The essence of the program lies in its effort to provide a carefully constructed core curriculum while making available the extraordinary range of intellectual and cultural resources of the College, the University, and New York City. Established at Columbia University’s School of the Arts in 1980, the program moved to Teachers College in 1991, expanding its curriculum and student body and maintaining its interdisciplinary curriculum with Columbia’s Graduate Schools of Business and Law. Special areas of study have been created with the Program in Art Education which focus on Museum Education and with the Program in Music Education which focuses on Music Administration and Education. Similar collaborations are being developed with other disciplines. From its inception, faculty and staff have consisted of persons actively involved in the field as managers, board members, consultants, authors, and artists. In addition, the program draws on a vast pool of artists, arts managers, and persons in related professions to deliver and take part in guest lectures, seminars, and informal discussions.
The objectives of the program are to: • Train new leaders to manage and administer arts and cultural venues • Raise standards of arts administration to a new level of social responsibility • Broaden the horizons of arts educators, facilitating their interactions with the arts community • Give arts educators new management and administrative tools • Strengthen advocacy roles for artists, and • Provide theoretical and practical preparation for students whose professional objective is a career in arts administration, arts education, or a combination of the two. The Research Center for Arts and Culture acts as a complement and a resource for the Program, offering opportunities each year to Arts Administration students with a special interest in research and public policy. The Center is committed to applied research in the relatively new disciplines of arts management and arts law, providing the academic auspices for exploration, education, policy-making, and action. Degree requirements:
administration, cultural policy, fundraising, historical foundations and problem-solving in arts education, accounting, financial planning, marketing, business policy, labor relations, and copyright law. Students and applicants should refer to additional information on requirements available at the program office. Tuition rates may vary for certain elective courses, depending on the offering school. Each student is evaluated in the first year to ensure that satisfactory progress is maintained. Courses (* = course open to non-majors): A&HG 4170.

For updated information about the program, please call the Office of Admission at 212-678-3710. Special Application Requirements/Information: Acceptance into the program is by audition, interview, and a review of past dance-related experiences and educational background. While it is suggested that a candidate have an undergraduate degree in dance, an undergraduate degree in any field and other appropriate dance experiences will be considered for admission. Auditions are held twice a year: January and April. Details concerning the audition and special application forms for the program in Dance and Dance Education are available along with program information from the Dance Education office. Candidates for admission from foreign countries or from the western United States
may audition via videotape. Information concerning format and specific requirements will be sent on request. Students desiring scholarships, grants, fellowships, or financial aid are urged to audition in January and to submit all required forms by the January 15th scholarship deadline. Program assistantships are available, as are limited merit scholarships. Program Description: The Dance and Dance Education program encompasses a broad conception of dance ranging from the traditions of dance as ritual and fine art to the popular view of dance in mass culture. Dance education is emphasized throughout the curriculum and is approached as a life-long activity, taking place in multiple settings and pursued by a variety of people. Courses in dance education examine the different settings in which the various dance forms reach their audience: public and private schools, higher education, arts centers, cultural institutions, video, television and film, and other special settings. Central to the program is a concern for the role of dance as it supports and promotes human growth and development through studio practice and cultural appreciation. The program is built around a core of courses considered essential to exemplary dance education. The curriculum offers courses within four major areas: the body sciences, performance practice and analysis, dance pedagogy, and theory, research and implementation. Dance courses are offered in anatomy and kinesiology, composition, technique, body work, Laban Movement Analysis, cultural, historical and social contexts, production, teaching and curriculum.
ARTS Utilizing the vast resources of the New York City metropolitan area, professional studio technique classes and other related courses may be taken for academic credit, provided that appropriate arrangements can be established with that school, program or organization. In addition to courses taken in arts education, students are expected to select courses from other offerings at Teachers College and Columbia University in order to fulfill degree requirements. Weekend workshops, master classes, colloquia, research/independent studies, fieldwork, and student teaching provide additional richness to diverse teaching, research and performing opportunities. Within the program there are two tracks leading to the Master of Arts degree. The first is flexible, allowing the student to shape an individual program in consultation with a faculty advisor (minimum of 36 points). The second track offers experiences and study that lead to an M.A., plus a K–12 Dance Teacher Special Certification in the State of New York (36 points). In order to meet certain state and degree requirements, students work closely with their advisors to select appropriate courses and evaluate abilities. Completion of the K–12 Certification track qualifies the graduate (upon successful completion of state tests) to teach in public education, K–12, in the state of New York. Reciprocal arrangements with other states can qualify the graduate to teach inside New York as well. Students completing the degree (with or without certification) have continued to doctoral study in dance or related fields; have worked in education departments of cultural institutions; and have taught in private education, colleges and
universities. Other graduates have continued to perform and choreograph in New York and other areas. Student work may be shown as part of our Graduate Student Dance Concert Series. Some students choreograph, perform and self-produce professionally while pursuing a graduate degree from Teachers College. Teaching, performance, research and administrative internships offer students “real world” experience. The Dance and Dance Education program maintains professional partnerships with many of the major dance institutions and artist/ educator/scholar arts organizations in New York City, nationally and internationally. Each internship is tailored towards the goals of the individual student. Degree Requirements: Master of Arts (36 points)

Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Special Application Requirements/Information: Sample of historical writing required for Ed.M., Ed.D., Ph.D. Master’s students may begin in the fall or spring only. Doctoral applicants are accepted for the fall term only. Program Description: The Program in History and Education is one of the oldest at Teachers College, the history of education having been one of the first components of the university study of education. Many of the earliest doctoral dissertations at Teachers College dealt with historical subjects, even in the case of students aspiring to careers in
curriculum, guidance, and administration. The program prepares people to teach in graduate schools of education, undergraduate departments of education, departments of history, theological seminaries, or other academic institutions, and to work as research scholars in institutes, government bureaus, or social service agencies where a deep understanding of education in historical perspective is essential. The program addresses important educational questions, first, by examining the ideas, individuals, and institutions of the past to determine their influence on their own times; and, second, by bringing historical knowledge and perspective to bear on current educational issues. The program offers courses covering the educational history of America, Europe and other international communities, urban areas, women immigrants and African Americans. The program is open to students of broad and diverse backgrounds who can give evidence of academic competence and personal qualities suggesting high probability of professional success. Each student in the program is expected to take courses in the history of education, as well as in the more generalized fields of social, political, and cultural history. Students can also take subject matter courses in cognate areas aimed at complementing and supporting their specialized areas of interest within the history of education. In addition, most students engage in continuous independent research under the supervision of a faculty member. Students in the program are encouraged, with their advisor’s guidance, to make full use of resources offered by other

D E PA R T M E N T O F ARTS AND HUMANITIES Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) Doctor of Education in College Teaching of Music (Ed.D.C.T.) Special Application Requirements/Information: Applicants for the M.A. must have an undergraduate degree with a major in music or music education; or an undergraduate degree with evidence of sufficient musical training and experience to qualify the student for graduate work in this field. Teachers College Master of Education students wishing to apply to the Doctor of Education Program are required to submit a scholarly paper along with their application for change of degree status. It is expected that most students will also use this scholarly paper as the final project for their Ed.M. degree. Applicants for the Ed.D. normally have previously received a Master of Arts or Master of Music degree. Applicants for the Ed.D. or the Ed.D.C.T. are encouraged to have several years of professional experience as an educator or performing musician prior to beginning the doctoral program. Both doctoral programs are very selective and admit only a few students each year. Applicants for the Ed.D.C.T. must submit a recent audiotape of their performance or arrange for an audition. Applications for the Ed.D. and the Ed.D.C.T. are reviewed once each year in the spring. Program Description: The Program in Music and Music Education embraces humanistic values as they relate to contemporary musical and educational life while respecting the musical traditions of the past. The faculty in Music and Music Education recognize the importance and uniqueness 122
of the arts in our society and strive to offer flexible and individualized programs for the preparation of musician-educators. Faculty members are seasoned practitioners, who reflect a wide range of expertise in comprehensive musicianship, early childhood music, instrumental and jazz pedagogy, vocal and choral performance, jazz, technology and the full spectrum of public and private school music through graduate school and research practices. The four degree programs in Music and Music Education are each built around a core of courses considered central to exemplary music education. Beyond the core, students have flexibility to plan with their advisor individual programs designed to meet particular needs and goals. In addition to courses in music and music education, students are expected to select courses from other offerings of Teachers College and Columbia University in order to fulfill degree requirements. Students in the remaining degree programs can prepare for the following positions: • Teaching and supervision of music in elementary and secondary schools • Teaching and administration of music in colleges and universities • Teacher of music in private school and studios • Research and practice of music in institutions of higher learning, and • Interdisciplinary areas of arts and humanities, music and special education, new technology in music education, and adult education. Programs of study for all degrees include five major categories: pedagogy of music, research, comprehensive musicianship, performance, and non-
major requirements. The music courses are divided into four general areas: Pedagogy; Comprehensive Musicianship; Music Performance; and Research. The traditional M.A. program is a post-bachelor’s degree program that provides graduate studies with a balance of work in performance, comprehensive musicianship, pedagogy, and research. The degree program is designed to allow flexibility in course selection, so that each student may prepare for his or her professional career in music education. A 40 point Master of Arts offers New York State approved Teacher Certification. Students in this M.A. program take coursework and then a semester of carefully guided student teaching in a school that reflects the Music Program’s philosophy. The Master of Education degree (Ed.M.) in Music Education is an advanced professional degree for practitioners in music education that is designed to prepare graduates for a career in elementary schools, secondary schools, and colleges. It is awarded upon satisfactory completion of sixty points of graduate study. Major emphasis is placed on the improvement of instruction and curriculum. The program for the degree may also be designed to include New York State Certification as a School Administrator and Supervisor. Candidates who show clear promise of success in further graduate study may apply the completed course work toward the doctorate. The Ed.D. and the Ed.D. in College Teaching offer preparation for professional careers in a variety of settings. The Ed.D. prepares students for positions in the Teaching and Supervi-
sion of Music in Elementary and Secondary Schools, the Teaching and Administration of Music in Early Childhood Settings, the Teaching of Music in Private School and Private Studios, the Teaching and Administration of Music in Colleges and Universities, and careers in Music and Interdisciplinary Areas, such as the Arts and Humanities, Special and Adult Education. The Ed.D. in College Teaching is designed primarily for students with a high level of performance skills whose goal or present position is focused on the teaching of performance in higher education. Degree Requirements: Master of Arts (32 points)
A minimum of 32 points is required. Some programs may exceed the minimum number due to professional goals, special interests, or deficiencies in undergraduate work. No more than 12 points of graduate credit from other faculties of the University may be applied to the minimum point requirement, and no points will be accepted from other institutions. A student enrolled in the 32-point master’s degree is expected to plan a program of study with an advisor that reflects a balance of work in each of four areas of music study, based upon the training, experience and specific needs of the student. The four areas of music study are: 1) Pedagogy, 2) Research, 3) Comprehensive Musicianship, and 4) Music Performance. In order to broaden the student’s background, in addition to the course work in music, three Teachers College courses (a course is defined as one for which at least two points are earned) outside of the Program (A&HM) are required. Specifi-
ARTS cally, students are expected to enroll in: (1) At least two courses from the Music Pedagogy Courses, one of which must be selected from the following: • A&HM 4021 Designing musical experiences for young children • A&HM 5020 Foundations of music education • A&HM 5025 Creativity and problem solving in music education • A&HM 5026 Music skills and the creative strategy • A&HM 6001 Teaching and administration of the arts in college music (2) At least one course from the Research Area (A&HM 5023, Vocal pedagogy, may be used to fulfill this requirement). (3) At least one course from Comprehensive Musicianship Area. (4) At least one course from the Music Performance Area. (5) The remaining courses in music can be selected from any of the four areas, in consultation with an advisor. In order to graduate a student must complete the necessary course work, present a portfolio, and demonstrate competent musicianship in performance as approved by the program faculty. Master of Arts with Pre K–12 Certification (40 points)
The M.A. degree with Teacher Certification is a program designed for students with an undergraduate degree in music who wish to prepare for teaching music in the public schools. The 40 point degree program leads to both the M.A. degree and New York State Teacher of Music, Pre
K–12 Certification. Students desiring state certification should identify themselves at their first registration, and be assigned to a certification advisor for guidance in this process. All requirements for certification can be completed in the M.A. program if the candidate is identified at the first registration.

D E PA R T M E N T O F ARTS AND HUMANITIES sample of philosophical writing is required for all programs except the M.A. application. Program Description: This program has shaped the historical course of philosophy of education in America. From the groundbreaking work of John Dewey and William Heard Kilpatrick to the achievements of their most recent successors, Jonas Soltis and Maxine Greene, the program’s philosopher-scholars have been leaders in the field. The Philosophy and Education program offers students a unique opportunity to develop their humanistic and critical thinking about education. Faculty and students in the program devote this thinking to a wide variety of questions, including: • What visions of the human being animate contemporary schooling? • How can education be a force for social reform? • What is the role of aesthetic experience and the imagination in education? • What type of education befits a multicultural society? • What is the nature of the teacher-student relationship? Other areas of interest include: • The education of democratic citizens • Moral education • Critical thinking • Education and the new technology • The ethics of teaching The philosophy and education program provides an opportunity for educators to broaden and deepen their understanding of the processes and aims of education through inquiry into the fields of aesthetics, ethics and moral philosophy, social and political philosophy, and epistemology and the philosophy of science. Study of a variety of historical and 128
conceptual frameworks enables students to develop theoretical perspectives on education, and to effectively analyze and critique arguments in contemporary educational debates. Recent dissertations have included discussions of the nature of the multicultural self, the role of the liberal arts in teacher education, and communicative ethics as a foundation for literacy education. Degree Requirements: Master of Arts (32 points)
The Master of Arts degree program is designed to introduce educators and professionals with a wide variety of interests to the study of philosophy and education. In addition to the required 12 points in Philosophy and Education courses, students may use their electives to develop an area of educational interest (e.g., educational policy, curriculum and teaching, developmental psychology, etc.) and to develop an area of philosophical interest (e.g., ethics, social philosophy, epistemology, etc.). Master of Education (60 points)
Similar to the Master of Arts degree program, the Master of Education degree program is designed to provide a more indepth and intensive introduction to the study of philosophy and education. In addition to the required 18 points in Philosophy and Education courses and 3 points required from the Philosophy Department at Columbia University, students may use their electives to develop an area of edcuational interest (e.g., educational policy, curriculum and teaching, developmental psychology, etc.) and to develop an area of philosophical interest (e.g., ethics, social philosophy, epistemology, etc.).
Doctor of Education (90 Points)
The Ed.D. degree program is flexible and responsive to individual student backgrounds and needs. Each student takes responsibility, in consultation with his or her adviser, for designing a course of study that will meet the program requirements while catering to the individual’s interests and professional goals. At the center of that course of study are the program’s research and professional development curriculum and other classes in philosophy and education. In addition to the required 34 points in Philosophy and Education courses, students are also required to do coursework in the following areas: 9 points of philosophy (via the consortium, students may take courses not only in the Columbia Philosophy Department, but in those of CUNY, Fordham, The New School, and NYU), foundations of education, and educational breadth. These requirements are modest, leaving room for students to craft a personalized course of study. Addtionally, 16 points in the Philosophy and Education requirements are in the program’s professional development sequence. Doctor of Philosophy (75 points)

Special Application Requirements/Information: Students may not begin program in the summer. Program Description: For almost a century Teachers College has offered advanced studies of various topics related to religion and education. Today, the program in religion and education, leading to the M.A., Ed.M., and Ed.D. degrees, offers the opportunity for combining religious studies at Union Theological Seminary, the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and the Columbia University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences with studies in religion and education at Teachers College. Many students in the program at the Ed.M. and Ed.D. levels transfer substantial credits in graduate or professional religious studies from other institutions and devote the major part of their effort in the program to acquiring the educational knowledge and skills needed to complement their previous theological study. Each student’s program is worked out to meet his or her particular objectives, using the combined resources of Teachers College and the other institutions mentioned above. The program prepares its graduates to teach in colleges, universities, and theological schools, community colleges, and private schools with special concern for the religious dimensions in education. Such persons would also be prepared to teach courses in religion or to serve with various religious organizations in positions of leadership in matters of educational policy.
For information about the joint Ed.D. program and the related Master of Arts in Education and Theological Studies at Union Theological Seminary, consult the Seminary’s catalog.
religion (with courses in fields pertaining to literature of religion, history of religions, philosophy of religion and theology, social science and religion, and psychology of religion).
Degree Requirements: The program of courses in Religion and Education is worked out with one of the advisors from the three cooperating institutions. Drawing on these combined resources each student’s program is designed to meet his or her own particular objectives. All courses should be determined with the advice and approval of the student’s advisor.
Students also receive a solid grounding in the nature of education (with courses pertaining to history and education, philosophy and education, anthropology and sociology of education, international education, curriculum and teaching and adult education).
Master of Arts (30 or 32 points)
The degree requirements can be met in one of two ways: 1) completing 30 points and a formal master’s thesis, or, 2) completing 32 points and a special project. The topics and preparation of the thesis and the special project are to be determined in consultation with the student’s advisor. At least 12 of the points taken for the degree must be in the field of religion and education, with at least 9 of those points being in religion courses offered at Teachers College. Additionally, 6 points (3 courses for at least 2 points each) must be taken in Teachers College courses outside the religion and education program. Doctor of Education (90 points)
The Doctor of Education is a 90 point program. All students must take a minimum of 6 points of A&HR 6581, Studies in Religion and Education. The full program of other courses is developed on an individual basis for each student in consultation with the advisors of the program. In developing the full course program, every effort is made to ensure that students receive a solid grounding in the nature of

An English teacher creates contexts for reading, writing, listening, speaking and representing. Classrooms are transitory environments and demand teachers who are aware of themselves as learners, capable of adapting to change, skilled at negotiating, and respectful of diversity. Our Program is student-centered and committed to the personal and professional development of teachers as they pursue their academic
135
D E PA R T M E N T O F ARTS AND HUMANITIES and research lives. We recognize and value the variety of needs and experiences of a diverse student body, and we strive to provide our students with individualized programs. Our Program encourages students to seek a balance between breadth and specialization by offering a variety of both methods and content courses. Methods courses focus on the design and implementation of curriculum as well as diverse strategies and methods for the teaching of literature, writing, and language. Content courses include literature and writing electives that model the various practices that can be useful in teaching secondary students in English classrooms. The English Education Program offers two types of M.A. degrees: the M.A. in the Teaching of English without certification (32 points) and the M.A. in the Teaching of English with certification (38 points). All coursework toward either of the M.A. degrees outlined below must be undertaken at Teachers College. We do not accept transfer credits at the M.A. level. Each student will be assigned a faculty advisor during the first semester who will assist in choosing courses. For full-time students, we recommend that students begin their coursework the summer before the first full academic year. M.A. in the Teaching of English (Without Certification) – 32 Points: The M.A. in the Teaching of English without certification is a 32-point degree designed for in-service teachers already working in the field. To earn this degree, students must complete 32 points of coursework at Teachers College. Program requirements follow the 136
M.A. Degree with certification program plan, minus the student teaching and Supervised Teaching of English seminars. *Note: In May of 2004, this program will be replaced by a 34–point program similar, but not identical to, the current 32–point program. M.A. in the Teaching of English (With Certification)—38 Points: The M.A. in the Teaching of English with certification is a 38-point degree which leads to New York State Certification. It is designed for pre-service teachers who are newly entering the field of English teaching. To earn this degree, students must complete 38 points of coursework in the English Education Program at Teachers College including two semesters of student teaching. Please note that, although most courses are held in the evenings, students who plan to earn certification must be available during the school day in order to student teach. To be certified by New York State, additional requirements include: • 24 points in English content courses (required prior to admission in the Program); • 12 credits in education or methods courses; • One (2–3 points) collegeapproved diversity education course; • One Detection & Reporting of Child Abuse and Substance Abuse course, and one Violence Prevention course. (These may be taken for 0 credits on-line or in-person. A copy of the Certificate of Completion or Certificate of Participation must be turned in to the Registrar if you are seeking certification from NewYork State. For further information, please contact the Office of Field Support Services at 678-3502);
• Two semesters of foreign language (If this requirement was not fulfilled as an undergraduate, these points may be obtained at Columbia University, Teachers College, or any other accredited institution. In some cases, this requirement may be waived by obtaining an appropriate score on the CLEP Test. CLEP registration forms are available at the Office of Field Support Services); • 2 semesters of student teaching; • LAST and ATS-W exams. Master of Education (60 points)
Program Description: The Master of Education (Ed.M.) degree is a sixty point program designed for students interested in advanced study within the field of English Education. The Ed.M. degree represents a commitment to research and study that students refine as they focus on a particular area of inquiry. A research study is required as a culminating project. The Ed.M. degree is wellsuited for individuals who are currently teaching and who wish to concentrate further on their studies within the field of English Education and/or students who are thinking about undertaking doctoral work in English Education. In most cases, students applying for the Ed.D. program in English Education are required to first complete the Ed.M. program. Students admitted to the Ed.M. program have an M.A. degree and prior teaching experience, and now wish to further concentrate their studies within the field of education. The Ed.M. degree does not lead toward certification for teaching (as does the M.A. in English Education).
Doctor of Education
Program Description: Students who enter the doctoral program in English Education must have at least five years of teaching experience at either the secondary school or college level, and have completed graduate work at an accredited institution. The work students undertake in the English Education program will help them to refine their theoretical and teaching expertise. It will also extend their involvement with secondary school-aged students, as well as in-service and pre-service teachers. Through these experiences, students will identify a particular area of inquiry for their research. Both the Ed.D. and Ph.D.* programs in English Education consist of theoretical, pedagogical, and research-oriented work. Students eventually focus their interests around a particular area of inquiry, which is informed by a broad reading of theory, research studies, and individual teaching experiences. This work becomes consolidated and refined through the dissertation, a study that evidences original research and pedagogical perspectives. Each student, upon entry into the Program, is assigned an academic advisor, who will advise on Program Plan, Certification Exams, and all coursework. *Please note: We are presently not accepting applications into the Ph.D. program. Degree Requirements Master of Arts (32 and 38 Point Programs)
Methods—New York State requires a minimum of 12 points of methods courses. The methods coursework is designed to provide students
ARTS with a strong foundation in the teaching of English. The Teaching of Reading and the Teaching of Writing courses are usually taken at the beginning of the program to facilitate students’ understanding of other courses. English Methods follows and integrates various methodologies while addressing language and curricular components. The fifth methods course allows students to concentrate on specific areas of interest.
• A&HE 4156 Writing nonfiction (3)
Required courses include: • A&HE 4151* Teaching of writing (3) • A&HE 4058 Teaching of reading (3) • A&HE 4057 English methods (3) • A&HE 5518** Teaching English in diverse social & cultural contexts (2–3) *A&HE 4151, Teaching of writing and A&HE 4156, Writing non-fiction are taken as a 6-credit block **A&HE 5518 meets both the College-wide and the New York State diversity requirements.
Literature: At least one literature course within the Program is required: Courses include Cultural Perspectives, Feminist Perspectives, Adolescent Literature, Critical Approaches to Literature, and Literature and Teaching.
In addition, students must choose at least one topic specific methods class: • A&HE 4152 Literacies & technologies in the secondary English classroom (3) • A&HE 4155 Critical issues in the secondary English classroom (2–3) • A&HE 4550 Teaching of poetry (3) • A&HE 4551 Teaching of Shakespeare (3) • A&HE 4552 Curriculum and assessment in the secondary English classroom (2) Content—Content courses consist of a two-part (writing and literature) requirement: Writing: This requirement is usually met by taking the six credit writing block: • A&HE 4151 Teaching of writing (3)
Alternatively, a student may choose to take Teaching of writing for three points and Writing non-fiction for zero points, and substitute one of the following courses to fulfill this writing requirement: • A&HE 4157 Writing: Fiction (3) • A&HE 4158 Writing: Poetry (3)
Foundations—Foundation courses are intended to broaden students’ knowledge of the history of education, philosophies of education, and educational issues and practices beyond their particular area of concentration. All students must take at least three Foundations courses (courses not designated “A&HE”). Foundation courses may be taken as Pass/Fail. These must meet the following criteria: • They must not possess the “A&HE” prefix; • They must be Teachers College courses; • They must be for a minimum of two credits each. Electives—Electives provide opportunities for 32-point students to explore particular interests as they design their programs. Electives may be taken for as many credits as a student needs to finish his or her degree program. 38-point students may not have room for electives. The only restrictions on elective courses are that they must be taken at Teachers College or elsewhere in the Columbia system at the graduate level.
Master’s Seminar—All M.A. students are required to enroll in the A&HE 5590 Master’s Seminar. 38-point students enroll in A&HE 5590 during the Phase II student teaching semester. 32-point M.A. students enroll in A&HE 5590 during their last term of study. All students work with an advisor to design and complete their master’s projects. The Student Teaching Experience: Students in the 38-point English Education program have two separate semesters of student teaching. As required by the State, one of these experiences is in a middle school and the other is in a high school. Most placements are made in urban public schools in New York City. Commuting to one of the outer boroughs should be expected. The student teaching experiences differ by semester. In the phase 1 semester, a pair of students may be placed in a classroom under the direction of a single cooperating teacher. The cooperating teacher has primary responsibility for designing the curriculum. Students do not have the major responsibility for designing or organizing the course of instruction but are active participants in the classroom and school community. While the phase 1 experience varies, students are primarily engaged in observation, group work with students, conferencing, and some teaching. During this semester, students understand, appreciate, learn from, and coach students as readers and writers. In their phase 2 semester, students work one-on-one with a cooperating teacher and are expected to take on full responsibility for designing lessons and assessing learning. During both semesters, the student teaching experience is accompanied by A&HE 4750,
D E PA R T M E N T O F HUMANITIES
AND
Supervised Teaching of English (4), and A&HE 4751, Fieldwork and Observation (1). These courses facilitate the development of the skills and strategies that are needed for successful teaching. They also serve as forums to address needs, issues, and problems that may arise. In addition, supervisors from Teachers College visit student teachers on at least three occasions each semester. Supervisors talk with student teachers before and after each observation and consult with them on an individual basis regarding their progress. Retreats: Every year the English Education Program sponsors a retreat during the fall semester. Previous retreats have been held at a rustic convention center out of NYC. The retreat is an indepth introduction to the fall core classes, and attendance is required. The retreat is typically held on weekdays; thus, we ask that students make accommodations with their employers as soon as possible. The cost of the retreat is absorbed in the course fees. Master of Education
The Ed.M. program is studentcentered and committed to the personal and professional development of English teachers as they pursue their academic and research lives. We recognize and value the variety of needs and experiences of our diverse student body, and we strive to provide our students with individualized programs. All students pursuing the Ed.M. degree will have a faculty advisor with whom they will work throughout the course of their degree. While the Ed.M. program offers tremendous flexibility in coursework, the following program requirements must be fulfilled:

A&HE 5504 Research Paper (2–3 points) The 5504 Paper, required of all Ed.M. students, is the core of the Ed.M. program. The 5504 Paper represents a refined presentation of the student’s research question and area of inquiry. The purpose of this paper is to evidence the student’s ability to do independent research. It entails work that results in an original synthesis of a broad reading of theory and research, and is underscored by the student’s practical experience as a teacher. The 5504 Paper includes:
(d) implications relevant to the student’s future research. If the student’s intent is to continue on for doctoral work, the 5504 Paper may serve as a prelude to work on a doctoral dissertation. Students may continue to conduct and write up their research while enrolled in the Internship and Fieldwork courses. Doctor of Education
Coursework An academic advisor must approve all coursework in a student’s Program of Study. The academic advisor must approve exceptions to the following: • No course that is “R” (attendance) credit or that is “P” (pass/fail) may be taken toward the Ed.D. with the exception of Doctoral Seminars A & B (A&HE 6504) and the Dissertation proposal seminar (A&HE 7504). • Students must consult their academic advisors when they undertake an independent study, an internship, fieldwork, or graduate courses at Columbia University. • Doctoral students are “in general” discouraged from taking 4000-level courses and must consult with their academic advisors before registering for these courses. • Doctoral students must complete a minimum of 12 credits of research methods courses. Ed.D. students must complete fifty points of their program of study at Teachers College, with all courses approved by an academic advisor, to meet the degree requirements for the Teaching of English Program. The program of study is designed to represent a coherent network of courses, reflecting topics in English Education. All areas of study should have consistent emphases on social and political contexts in
ARTS English Education, and issues of teacher education. Represented schematically, these areas include but are not limited to: Literary Studies Literature courses, literary theory, and research in literature courses at the A&HE 5000 and A&HE 6000 levels. Rhetorical Studies Writing, composition theory and rhetorical theory courses at the A&HE 5000 and A&HE 6000 levels. Methodological and Pedagogical Studies Courses at the A&HE 5000 and A&HE 6000 level that address theoretical and practical applications within the field of English Education. Research Methods A minimum of twelve points of sequential research methods courses. Courses Outside the English Education Program Students should take a minimum of three courses outside the English Education Program. Required Courses for Doctoral Students The Program Plan for each doctoral student must include: • A&HE 5504 Research Paper in the Teaching of English (If a student has completed A&HE 5504 for the Ed.M. degree at Teachers College, s/he has satisfied the requirement.) • Three additional research courses within the Program Research Methods (see above) • A&HE 6504 Doctoral Seminars A&B • A&HE 7504 Dissertation Proposal Seminar • A&HE 8904 Dissertation Advisem*nt in the Teaching of English
Doctoral Seminars Students should enroll in A&HE 6504 Doctoral Seminar in the Teaching of English twice; Doctoral Seminar A, taken at the beginning of a student’s program introduces prospective doctoral candidates to the field of English Education. Doctoral Seminar B, taken near the end of a student’s program of studies, provides a collaborative context for work on dissertation research and writing. Dissertation The Doctoral Dissertation evolves out of the course work in which students have been engaged; the readings completed and synthesized for the Certification Examinations; the A&HE 5504 Research paper: Teaching of English; classroom teaching experiences; and the regular consultations and discussions with an academic advisor. The number of courses students take also depends in part on the number of points students transfer from previous graduate work. Students working toward a 90 point Ed.D. degree may transfer a maximum of 40 points and will thus complete at least 50 points within the program for their doctoral work. Program Plan During the first year of study, students file a Program Plan & Statement of Total Program (the forms are available in the Office of Doctoral Studies) in consultation with their academic advisors. The Program Plan should be filed in the Office of Doctoral Studies within the first two semesters of acceptance to the doctoral degree program. Once these procedures are completed, students will know how many courses they will need to complete their doctoral program.
Candidacy Paper At the beginning of their doctoral studies, students should consult their academic advisors to determine if they need to complete a Candidacy Paper (A&HE 5504). The 5504 Paper represents a refined presentation of the student’s research question and area of inquiry. The purpose of this paper is to evidence the student’s ability to do independent research. It entails work that results in an original synthesis of a broad reading of theory and research, and is underscored by the student’s practical experience as a teacher. The 5504 Paper includes: (a) a rationale for the project and demonstration of an understanding of the literature of the field related to the topic(s) undertaken; (b) a pilot study, including data gathering and analysis and justification of research methods employed; (c) a critique of the pilot study, including the student’s reflections on the study’s design and methodology as well as on her/his research strengths and weaknesses; (d) implications relevant to the student’s future research. Students may continue to conduct and write up their research while enrolled in the Internship and Fieldwork courses. A qualifying research paper from another institution may be substituted only with permission of the student’s advisor. Certification Exams Doctoral students in the English Education Program are required to write two Certification Examinations, a “major” exam and a “minor” exam. The terms “major” and “minor” are used to emphasize a difference in focus. The “major” Certification Exam usually focuses on the histori-
D E PA R T M E N T O F HUMANITIES
AND
cal foundations of English Education, whereas the “minor” certification exam takes a more refined focus and directly relates to the student’s interest in a specific area of inquiry. The policy of the Office of Doctoral Studies is that 20 credits should be taken between the major and minor exams, but advisors may write a letter of appeal if less than 20 credits are completed in this time. Disertation Proposal The Doctoral Proposal consolidates the work students have done in courses, professional reading, and the two Certification Examinations. It is a 30 to 50-page document, which outlines a coherent account of the work students want to undertake for the dissertation research. Dissertation The Doctoral Dissertation should evolve out students’ coursework, the readings completed and synthesized for the Certification Examinations, the A&HE 5504 Paper, classroom teaching experiences, and the regular consultations and discussions with their academic advisors. The dissertation should weave the stages of all these elements into a coherent design which assembles research and theory around a specific focus of interest. As students write their dissertations, they enroll in A&HE 8904, Dissertation Advisem*nt, which is designed to help students shape the writing of the review of literature, research methodology, data analysis and implications of the research. Candidates should keep in touch with the Office of Doctoral Studies to obtain information about the latest procedures, deadlines and documents. Courses: (* = course open to non-majors)

cants who have already earned an M.A. from Teachers College may transfer an additional 15 points in related areas from a regionally accredited institution. Ed.D. students may transfer up to 45 points from previous graduate study at a regionally accredited institution. All transfer of credit points must meet the approval of a faculty advisor. All students are expected to write and speak in a way that is appropriate to their professional responsibilities. Students having difficulty in achieving these standards will be required to take additional course work or seek help from the TC Writing Center. All non-native speakers of English, including those who have an undergraduate degree from an English-medium university in the U.S. or abroad, must submit either: • A minimum score of 600 on the TOEFL or a 250 on the computer-based equivalent as well as a minimum score of 5 on the Test of Written English (TWE), and a minimum score of 50 on the Test of Spoken English (TSE) or on the SPEAK Test (For information on these tests, see www.toefl.org), or • A score of B or better on the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CEP), or • A score of 7.0 or better on the Cambridge International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Program Description: The program in TESOL provides students with a solid foundation in the English language so that pedagogical and research questions related to the teaching, learning and assessment of English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL) may be formulated, examined and resolved. More specifically, the TESOL 141
D E PA R T M E N T O F ARTS AND HUMANITIES program helps students develop strategies, firmly grounded in research, theory and practice, to teach ESL in the US, to teach EFL internationally, or to do research on the teaching, learning or assessment of English as a second or foreign language. The program emphasizes study in the following areas: • Second language teaching methodologies • Teaching of the language skills • Language in the content areas • ESL/EFL materials development and curriculum design • Language teacher observation and supervision • Language teacher education • Second language acquisition • Second language assessment • Language classroom interaction • Second language literacy • Language program evaluation • Technology and language teaching Graduates from the TESOL program typically teach ESL or EFL students in elementary or secondary schools, in colleges or universities, in language schools or institutes abroad, or in businesses or international organizations. Others work for publishers or computer companies that produce ESL/EFL products. Finally, many TESOL graduates work as language program administrators or teacher educators in colleges or universities around the world. As New York City offers one of the most diverse settings in the world for teaching ESL, the TESOL program collaborates with a number of schools in the city to provide students with opportunities to teach or do research in these settings. In addition, the TESOL program sponsors the Community English Program (CEP) for nonnative English speaking adults from the adjoining community. The CEP serves as an on-site language education lab in 142
which students enrolled in the TESOL program teach the courses, administer the program and use the CEP for empirical inquiry. For more information on the CEP, see their web site at www.tc.columbia.edu/ academic/tesol/CEP.htm

Of the foregoing, three courses are specific requirements for the M.A., including: • A&HS 4049 Spanish methods and class management • A&HS 4069 Spanish pronunciation and intonation for teachers, and • A&HS 5061 Advanced Spanish syntax For teacher certification, A&HS 4760, Supervised practice teaching (4 points), is required, generally to be taken in the last spring semester at both middle and high school levels. Students seeking certification should consult with the Registrar concerning the latest requirements. An average of B in all major courses and a comprehensive examination are required for the M.A. Master of Education (60 points)
If the M.A. is not from Teachers College, s/he will be expected to include in her/his Ed.M. program requirements for the M.A. (see above), where the equivalents do not appear on the transcript of the transferred master’s degree. A minimum of 60 points of graduate course work are required, of which no less than 30 must be taken through Teachers College. Application may be made to transfer a limited amount of credits from other graduate studies. After course work, a project, research paper or a comprehensive examination must be completed. Doctor of Education (90 points)
A total of 90 credits beyond the B.A. are required. Application may be made for the transfer of credits from other institutions. In addition to the usual content courses, doctoral students are expected to give particular attention to cultural programs sponsored by the Teaching of Spanish Program, as well as to
Internship and teaching opportunities at the College. After doctoral certification (achieved through the Certification Examination and the formal research paper of A&HS 5506, for 1–3 credits and a letter grade) and most of the course work, preparation for the dissertation includes two “seminars” (no class sessions): A&HS 6506 which is the determination of the dissertation topic and the writing of a thesis proposal or prospectus (1–3 credits, P or F grade); and A&HS 7506 which is the presentation and acceptance of the proposal (1–2 credits, P or F grade). Following the semester of registration in A&HS 7506, the student must enroll in the noncredit A&HS 8906, Dissertation Advisem*nt, in which continuous registration is generally required until achievement of the degree. The dissertation committee consists of two or three faculty members; the doctoral jury will consist of four professors. Candidates must be in touch with the Office of Doctoral Studies to be certain of complying with procedures, deadlines and documents. Doctor of Education in the College Teaching of an Academic Subject
While all doctorates are most meaningful for teaching at the college level, this specialized degree suggests to employing institutions a particular expertise.

Departmental mission:
The Department of Biobehavioral Sciences offers programs that derive educational and clinical applications from an understanding of the biological processes underlying human communication, movement, and their disorders. An understanding of the normal biobe-
havioral processes is applied to clinical practice. The scientific knowledge obtained from studying each of these specialized fields is used to enhance the educational, adaptive and communicative capabilities of individuals with normal and impaired abilities across the lifespan. Graduates of our master’s programs assume professional roles in educational, health-related, and community agency settings as speech-language pathologists, exercise physiologists, fitness trainers, cardiac rehabilitation therapists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists. As these professionals often work in interdisciplinary teams, the Department facilitates opportunities for students to interact across professional boundaries. Our Doctoral graduates are prepared for university faculty positions, administrative positions in field-based settings, and may also pursue careers in research. The Department maintains clinics and laboratories to support the teaching and research components of the programs. These facilities include the Edward D. Mysak Speech-language and Hearing Center, as well as laboratories in applied physiology, motor learning and control, kinematics, language and cognition, and adaptive communication technologies. The master’s degree program in Speech-Language Pathology is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-LanguageHearing Association (ASHA). The Edward D. Mysak Speech and Hearing Center is accredited by the Professional Services Board of ASHA.

Degree offered: Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Special Application Requirements/Information: While students have come from a variety of fields, the following backgrounds are most appropriate: movement sciences, exercise science, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physical education, athletic training, biology, nutrition, nursing, and psychology. Students with strong academic records, who have deficiencies in their science backgrounds, may be admitted with the understanding that these deficiencies will be remedied with appropriate courses. When possible, it is strongly recommended that prospective students communicate with an academic advisor to discuss program plans prior to admission. Interviews are required for applicants planning to pursue the doctoral program (although exceptions are made when extensive travel is necessary). Students intending to pursue doctoral study are strongly encouraged to make an appointment to visit the College for at least one day to meet with faculty and doctoral students, to audit a course or seminar, and to become acquainted with research areas and resources.
Students seeking admission to the doctoral program are customarily admitted to the Ed.M. for at least one year. Formal admission to the doctoral program is based upon level of achievement in course work and seminars; demonstration of research competence; a research direction compatible with faculty and laboratory resources; and signs of professional promise. A list of current research projects in applied physiology and in motor learning and control can be obtained from the secretary in the Movement Sciences office. Applicants are reviewed on an ongoing basis throughout the academic year. However, consideration for general and minority scholarship awards is given to those applicants who meet the priority deadline. Prior to formal admission, enrollment in up to 8 points of study as a non-matriculated student is permitted. Program Description: There are three specialties in Movement Sciences: Applied Physiology deals with the physiological effects of exercise, training, and arousal (autonomic nervous system functions, such as, cardiovascular processes and sleep regulation). Application of study in applied physiology is made to the improvement of health and physical fitness. Interaction with nutritional factors is also emphasized. Professionals can gain insight into the role of exercise in diagnosis and treatment of health problems of interest to them. In Motor Learning and Control, study focuses on the behavioral, biomechanical and neural bases of development, acquisition and performance of functional movement skills. Acquisition of skill is examined over the life span in typically developing 149
D E PA R T M E N T O F BIOBEHAVIORAL SCIENCES and impaired individuals. Movement analysis is used to elucidate the neuromotor control processes underlying skilled performance in everyday functional behaviors, sport, and dance. The teacher or therapist’s role in facilitating skill learning and performance is emphasized. Physical education has a long and distinguished history at Teachers College. Teachers College offered one of the first graduate degrees in physical education and continues to offer a wide array of opportunities for graduate study. In addition to courses in curriculum and teaching in physical education, there are a variety of other courses in the movement sciences, health studies, curriculum and teaching, and other areas that provide students with many opportunities for course options. All programs are designed to allow flexibility in program planning. Each of these specialties has five components, including: 1. Substantive study of theory and research as embodied in lecture and laboratory courses. 2. Development of clinical or educational skills in laboratory and fieldwork courses. 3. Research training to enable students to read and interpret original research and to carry out educational, clinical or laboratory research. 4. Seminars to discuss theory and research, identification of research problems, and clinical/educational applications. 5. Elective courses to meet specific student needs which may be taken throughout the College and University in such areas as anatomy, biology, business, chemistry, computer science, health education, higher and adult education, neurosciences, nutrition, physiology, psychology and science educa150
tion. A list of recommended elective and related courses is available to students in the Movement Sciences office. Degree Requirements: Master’s Degree Programs
For the M.A. and Ed.M. programs, students have two options. They may specialize in one of the three areas offered within Movement Sciences or, in consultation with an advisor, they may arrange a flexiblydesigned program of study cutting across specialization in the movement sciences which will meet their professional needs and academic interests. Master of Arts
The M.A. program emphasizes bridging between the movement sciences and clinical or education practice. The objective is to develop a comprehensive and coherent view of theory and research that can be applied to practice within the student’s professional field. The program requires 32 points of study. A culminating project is required for the M.A. and may involve: (a) a scholarly review of research and theory within a topical area drawing application to educational or clinical practice, or (b) a basic or applied research report. For initial advisem*nt and approval of M.A. projects, students must consult with Professor Gordon. The M.A. program can be completed in 12–18 months of full-time study or two to three years of part-time study (depending on the student’s other responsibilities). Specific requirements include: • BBS 4060, Neuromuscular response and adaptation to exercise (2) • BBS 5068, Brain and behavior I: Communication in the nervous system (1–2) • BBSR 5582, Research design in the movement sciences (3)
• Substantive study in movement sciences including offerings in physical education (minimum 6 points) • One laboratory course in Movement Sciences (minimum 2–3 points) • Seminars or tutorials (minimum 2–3 points) • Individual program in movement sciences (additional substantive, laboratory, fieldwork or seminar study) or in related areas outside of movement sciences (minimum 6 points) • Electives with provision that the total program includes at least three courses (for at least 2 points each) outside of the movement sciences. Master of Education
The Ed.M. program provides for advanced study in the movement sciences and for individually designed study to meet the student’s professional needs and interests. The program requires 60 points of graduate study. Students can focus on: (a) preparation as a “scholar of practice” able to translate research and theory into appropriate clinical or educational strategies; (b) preparation as a clinical instructor, clinical or educational supervisor or applied investigator; or (c) preparation for study towards the doctoral degree. All Ed.M. students must complete a final, culminating project involving either (a) an applied research report which can focus on clinical or educational issues, or (b) a laboratory research paper. Students intending to continue study towards the doctoral degree should arrange their Ed.M. program to include core courses required for doctoral specialization in Applied Physiology or in Motor Learning and Control.
For the Master of Education Program, specific requirements for courses, or equivalents transferred from prior graduate study, are: • BBS 4060, Neuromuscular response and adaptation to exercise (2) • BBS 5068, Brain and Behavior I: Communication in the nervous system (1–2) • BBSR 5582, Research design in the movement sciences (3) • Research preparation: minimally one course selected from BBSR 5504, 5505, 5595 (2–3) • Substantive study in the movement sciences including offerings in physical education (minimum 15 points) • Two laboratory courses: (minimum 5–6 points) • Seminars or tutorials: (minimum 5–6 points) • Individual program in movement sciences (additional substantive, laboratory, fieldwork or seminar study) or in related areas outside of movement sciences (minimum 12 points) • Electives (for at least 2 points each) (12) Doctoral Programs
Specialization in applied physiology or in motor learning and control is required for the doctoral program. Within each area of specialization, students prepare course and laboratory projects, research papers and other materials appropriate for their projected professional activities. The program requires 90 points of graduate study. The doctoral program prepares individuals for leadership roles in the movement sciences and in the fields of physical education, nutrition and rehabilitation (occupational, physical and respiratory therapy). Graduates have assumed positions as faculty members and program directors in universities and colleges; as researchers in educational, clinical or biomedical
D E PA R T M E N T O F BIOBEHAVIORAL SCIENCES settings; and as administrators, supervisors or consultants in clinical or educational facilities. Preparation focuses advanced study and research training within the specialization. Doctor of Education (Applied Physiology) The goal of the applied physiology specialization is to prepare doctoral students to pursue scholarly and scientific work. Students are expected to contribute significantly to the completion of at least one research project prior to initiation of their dissertation proposal. The skills developed during completion of this project will enable students to carry out their dissertation project independently. Students are encouraged to present the work leading up to the dissertation proposal at national meetings and to contribute to the publication of results in peer reviewed journals. Research may be completed in the applied physiology laboratories at Teachers College or in the student’s own clinical/ research setting. If the work is completed outside of Teachers College, students are expected to demonstrate that they have contributed significantly to the completion of the required projects. All work (either at Teachers College or outside of the College) must be developed and completed in conjunction with advisem*nt of Movement Sciences faculty. Students are expected to commit themselves to their graduate studies. A minimum commitment entails engaging in research activity related to the doctoral degree three days per week (at least two weekdays). This minimum commitment will ensure that advisem*nt, research activities and course work can be completed in an efficient and timely fashion.
For the doctoral program with specialization in Applied Physiology, specific course requirements (or equivalents transferred from prior graduate study) include: • BBS 4060, Neuromuscular response and adaptation to exercise (2) • BBS 5068, Brain and behavior I: Communication in the nervous system (1–2) • BBS 6070, Neural basis of respiration (3) • BBSR 4065, Biological and behavioral basis of sleep (3) • BBSR 4095, Applied physiology I (3) • BBSR 4195, Applied physiology laboratory I (3) • BBSR 5095, Exercise and health (3) • BBSR 5194, Applied physiology laboratory II (3) • BBSR 5582, Research design in the movement sciences (3) • BBSR 5595, Research seminar in applied physiology (typically, students enroll each semester until degree requirements are completed) (3 points each semester) • BBSR 5596, Topics in applied physiology (3) • One additional laboratory course: BBSR 5195 or BBSR 5055 (3) • Three courses (9) selected from BBS 5055, BBSR 4005, BBSR 4050, BBSR 4055, BBSR 4060, BBSR 5028, BBSR 5052, BBSR, 5057, BBSR 5200, HBSV 5010, HBSV 5011, HBSV 5034, MSTC 4043, MSTC 4054, • Statistics sequence minimally two courses (6 points) from: HUDM 4122, HUDM 5122 and HUDM 5123 Doctor of Education (Motor Learning and Control) In the preparation of doctoral students, the goal is to develop those competencies necessary to pursue scholarly and scientific work and to formulate strategies to enhance professional practice.
Research training uses an apprenticeship model. Students work closely with faculty throughout their preparation: initially as apprentices with access to considerable advisem*nt, subsequently as collaborators, then progressing to a position as independent researchers. Typically, the dissertation research is an extension of one or two prior studies. Often, research leading up to the dissertation is presented at national meetings or is published in professional journals. In addition to substantive study and research preparation, students are expected to design an individual program representing their research area and professional concerns. Such preparation requires a significant commitment to graduate study. Doctoral students (and Ed.M. students planning to pursue the doctoral degree) are required to be engaged in research at least three days per week (on- or off-site) and be available for advisem*nt at least two mornings or afternoons. For the doctoral program with specialization in Motor Learning and Control, specific course requirements (or equivalents transferred from prior graduate study) are: • BBS 4060, Neuromuscular response and adaptation to exercise (2 points) • BBS 5068, Brain and behavior I: Communication in the nervous system (1–2 points) • BBSR 4050, Analysis of human movement (3 points) • BBSR 4060, Motor learning (2–3 points) • BBSR 4150, Motor learning laboratory (2 points) • BBSR 4151, Laboratory methods in biomechanics (3 points)

They are offered in collaboration with several clinical agencies located in the metropolitan New York area, that provide services to diverse groups including pediatric, adult and geriatric clients. These traineeships carry an award of $32,000 in stipend and tuition benefits. The instructional staff in Movement Sciences provides clinical super151
D E PA R T M E N T O F BIOBEHAVIORAL SCIENCES vision. A case study approach is used to directly bridge between substantive study and clinical practice. For more detailed information, contact the coordinator of Clinical Traineeships at 212-678-3325.

Students who enter the program with a prior master’s degree may apply up to 30 points of acceptable graduate credit toward the Ed.M. Enrollment may be on a fullor part-time basis. Students may enter the program with only a bachelor’s degree but must combine study of the neurosciences with earning an
155
D E PA R T M E N T O F BIOBEHAVIORAL SCIENCES M.A. /M.S. in an applied area such as Speech-Language Pathology, Learning, dis/Abilities or Reading Specialist. The M.A. /M.S. provides a sequence of supervised practica and opportunities to acquire professional skills and experience. Students entering with only a bachelor’s degree should work with Professor Peter Gordon to identify the appropriate applied area and to secure a faculty advisor from that area. Program Description: This is the first and only graduate program focused on the educational and clinical implications of recent advances in understanding brain-behavior relationships. The objective of the multi-disciplinary program is to prepare a new kind of specialist: a professional with dual preparation able to “bridge the gap” between research underlying cognition and behavior and the problems encountered in schools and clinics. The program leads to an advanced master’s degree and is intended primarily for qualified professionals with experience in such fields as speech-language pathology, school psychology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, learning disabilities, and reading. For most graduates, the degree is designed to supplement their professional training; however, some go on to further graduate study. Degree Requirements: The program of study in neuroscience and education offers a systematic sequence of courses within the neurosciences. • Basic courses provide a thorough introduction to the neural bases of behavior. • Advanced courses explore implications of brain-behavior research for educational and clinical practice. • Supervised practica enable students to make use of neuropsychological assess156
ment findings for instruction and learning. Professional Studies All students are expected to develop or enhance their competencies in and understanding of: a) the psychological processes underlying development and learning, b) the nature of psychoeducational assessment, c) the social and philosophical foundations of education, and d) the theory and practice within a particular field of education or clinical specialization. Thus, all students must offer the minimum preparation and point distribution outlined below within the four areas. Prior study at the graduate level may be applied to meet these requirements if judged to be acceptable. Students who are not qualified through prior study at the undergraduate or graduate level to meet the requirements for registration, certification or licensure in an area of educational or clinical practice must select one of the following five areas for professional specialization within this program: a) Educational PsychologyReading, b) Elementary Education, c) Special Education, d) Motor Learning and Control, or e) Speech-Language Pathology In effect, students fulfill the master’s level requirements in one of these four areas, and thus qualify for the M.A./M.S. degree during the 60-point program of study for the Ed.M. For other students who are professionally qualified before entry to this program, there may be requirements in addition to those outlined below.

All Doctoral Applicants Doctoral applicants are strongly urged to discuss their plans with one of the department’s faculty before completing the application process. After all credentials have been received in the Admission Office, an interview will be arranged by the Department’s Doctoral Admission and Monitoring Committee. Program Description: The programs in SpeechLanguage Pathology and Audiology offer advanced education and training in the processes of individual human communication (speech, hearing, language), disorders of human communication, and remedial procedures for such disorders. Emphases and interests of the program are reflected in the work of the following faculty: Professor O’Malley-psychoacoustics, including frequency selectivity, two-tone suppression, auditory spectral resolution, pitch, and auditory temporal acuity; Professor Saxman-speech and language development and disorder; Professor Sweeting-vocal tract function and dysfunction and life span development of speech processes; Professor Gordonlanguage acquisition, psycholinguistics, cognitive development in infants and children. Professor Patel-augmentitative and augmentative communication, acoustics of speech production, technology-aided human communication.
Programs leading to the M.S., Ed.M., Ed.D., and Ph.D. degrees in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology (doctoral only) prepare graduates for positions in a variety of professional settings: school systems, community speech and hearing centers, rehabilitation centers, hospital clinics, private practice, state departments of education, health departments, federal agencies, and colleges and universities. Because of the program’s central concern with the processes of individual human communication and their disorders and management, it has special interests in, and relations with, the fields of psychology, linguistics, anatomy and physiology, acoustics, special education, medicine, and dentistry. In turn, many of the program’s courses in normal and disordered speech and hearing processes contribute to professional preparation in speech and language arts, kindergarten through secondary school education, special education, remedial reading, psychology, and various health related professions, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, dental hygiene, nursing, and hospital administration. Degree Requirements: Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology
This degree program leads to professional licensing, professional certification, and if elected, to teacher of speech and hearing handicapped certification. Students are required to complete academic and practice requirements for the New York State License in SpeechLanguage Pathology and the Certificate of Clinical Competence offered by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association to be eligible for
graduation with the Master of Science Degree. This requirement means that it is the responsibility of the student to satisfy the required 75 credits of course work in appropriate specified areas for the ASHA CCC-SP before completion of the M.S., either through course work taken at Teachers College or through an approved distribution of courses completed at Teachers College and at another regionally accredited institutions (including undergraduate course work). This requirement is in addition to the specific courses and minimum credits required by the Teachers College faculty to satisfy the Master of Science degree requirements. Although course credits from other institutions are not transferred to the students program, courses taken elsewhere and approved by the student’s academic advisor as equivalent to course work required to satisfy the ASHA certification requirements or selected departmental requirements do not need to be repeated at Teachers College. Teachers College requires a minimum of 32 points for the Master of Science Degree. The minimum number of points for completion of the Program in Speech-Language Pathology is approximately 50, including practicum courses. Students who have no previous applicable coursework in the field typically require 74 points to complete the requirements for graduation. Students admitted to the program with undergraduate majors in speech and language pathology or with substantial prior coursework can expect to complete the program within two calendar years (four semesters and two summer sessions) of full time study.
D E PA R T M E N T O F BIOBEHAVIORAL SCIENCES Students admitted with little or no prior coursework can expect to complete the program in two and one-half calendar years of full-time study. Some accommodations can be made for part-time study during a portion of the program, but students must be enrolled in practicum experiences (BBSQ 5331/2) from their first semester and in all subsequent semesters of their enrollment. Academic and Practicum Requirements Basic Human Communication Processes In the area of normal human communication processes, students are required to take two courses in each of three areas of speech, language, and hearing, including: • anatomic and physiologic bases • physical and psychophysical bases • linguistic and psycholinguistic aspects These courses will total at least 15 points. This coursework may be taken at either the undergraduate or graduate level. Students with an undergraduate degree in communication disorders will have taken some or all of this coursework as part of their undergraduate preparation. Material covered in the following courses must have been included as part of the student’s prior coursework or must be taken at Teachers College: • BBSQ 4030, Speech science (3) • BBSQ 4031, Anatomy and physiology for speech, language and hearing (3) • BBS 4032, Neuroscience of human speech and language (2) • BBS 5068, Brain and behavior I: communication in the nervous system (1–2)
The remainder of the normal human communication processes requirement can be fulfilled through a variety of course options such as: BBSQ 5044 Speech and language perception and processing; A&HL 4101 Phonetics and phonology; HBSE 4079 Language development and habilitation; HUDK 5024 Language development; HUDK 5090 The psychology of language and reading; HUDK 5091 Applied psycholinguistics; A&HL 4000 The study of language; A&HL 4003 Linguistic analysis; ITSL 4024 Linguistic foundations of bilingual/bicultural education; and other courses listed in the program materials. Professional Course Work In professional area coursework, students are required to take 7 points in hearing disorders and a minimum of 30 points in speech-language disorders. The professional area coursework in speech-language pathology must be at the graduate level and must include a minimum of 3 points in courses within the program that are not part of the core requirements. In addition, only 3 points of practicum coursework can be used to fulfill the 30-point professional area requirement.

Departmental Mission:
This department prepares students to investigate and address the psychological needs of individuals, families, groups, organizations/institutions, and communities. Counseling psychology focuses on normal and optimal development across the lifespan, with particular attention to expanding knowledge and skills in occupational choice and transitions, and multicultural and group counseling. Clinical Psychology primarily uses a broad-based psychodynamic perspective to study and treat a variety of psychological and psychoeducational problems. In addition to sharing an interest and appreciation for the critical role of culture in development and adaptation, both programs highly value the teaching of clinical and research skills.
Special Application Requirements/Information: An undergraduate major in psychology or one of the other social or behavioral sciences is desirable, but not essential. It is expected that the personal statement which accompanies the student’s application will show a realistic assessment of the student’s professional interests and goals, as well as how she/he fits with the master’s or doctoral program’s training objectives. Applications are considered once a year for the doctoral and master’s programs. Doctoral Program Applications
Doctoral applicants must submit all credentials along with their scores on the Graduate Record Examination General (Aptitude) Test by December 15. Doctoral applicants are also required to submit a copy of a recently completed paper
on a topic of interest to them. This may be, but does not have to be, a paper submitted to satisfy course requirements. Admissions decisions are made once a year, usually by April. All admissions materials must be received by the December 15 deadline. While admission to the Ph.D. program requires final acceptance by the Columbia University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences as well as Teachers College, the administrative details for this process are managed via the Teachers College Admissions Office. Applicants should not submit an application to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences requires that applicants have a Bachelor of Arts degree with 60 points of liberal arts credit. Preference is given to candidates with excellent verbal and quantitative skills whose transcripts, references, performance in an admissions interview, and previous work experience suggest that they have the potential to make a significant contribution to theory, research, practice or policy-making. Experience has shown that the doctoral program is not appropriate for students who seek to become psychotherapists. Applicants who are so motivated are advised to seek admission to a program in clinical psychology. Program Descriptions: The Program in Counseling Psychology is dedicated to the preparation of psychological counselors (master’s students) and counseling psychologists (doctoral students) who facilitate the normal and optimal development of individuals, groups, and organizations that is culturally relevant and psychologically appropriate across the lifespan. Our students are
COUNSELING taught to use strategies of prevention, intervention, and remediation to assist others in developing effective coping skills and responses to their environments.

The objectives of the program are to prepare students to: 1) be self-aware, reflective and sensitive to social constructions, to issues related to identity group membership, and to participate in a variety of settings with diverse populations 2) intervene in appropriate arenas through their commitment to education, evaluation, research, and program development 3) focus on the development of individuals and groups, their educations and careers, assets and strengths, the importance of person-environment interactions, psychoeducation and preventive needs, as well as their pathologies 4) integrate theory, practice, and research 5) develop identities as ethical counselors who are socialized into the profession and contribute to the discipline and to society. Students are expected to adhere to ethical and professional standards of practice and conduct. Academic dishonesty and unethical behavior may be grounds for immediate dismissal from the program (masters or doctoral). These competencies prepare students to work in a variety of settings with emphasis on educational (e.g., schools, colleges, and universities, etc.), health (e.g., outpatient clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, etc.) and related agencies. In roles as psychological counselors, master’s graduates will be able to apply their skills in school counseling, clinical practice, administration, assessment,
and research. As a result of more in-depth training at the doctoral level, the roles of counseling psychologists include a capacity to produce knowledge, to be leaders in relation to policy development and implementation, and to work in independent practice. With the help of a faculty advisor, students register for required and elective courses, revelant to their special needs and career objectives. Depending on their areas of interest and levels of training, graduates have found employment in colleges, adult education centers, industry, various health centers, and community and government agencies. Regardless of their eventual work settings, students in the program are expected, by the end of their training, to have the following in common: • They are concerned with assessing, facilitating and guiding individual development. Their focus is on enhancing those conditions which further human development, and on ameliorating those that hamper it. They help individuals discover and take advantage of possibilities in the environment and in themselves. They are skilled in working with individuals from diverse ethnic, racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. • They are concerned with the social, situational, and psychological determinants of behavior. They use their theoretical knowledge to bring about growth in individuals and their environments. They are concerned with providing individuals and groups with experiences that will help them achieve their full potential. • They are skilled in several modes of facilitating human development, such as short-
AND
term individual and group counseling, environmental intervention, and planned exploratory and developmental experiences. They are concerned with translating concepts and theories into strategies and programs of intervention. They not only engage in designing innovative programs and planned interventions, they evaluate the outcomes of such undertakings. Master of Education
The Ed.M. is granted after successful completion of a special project and 60 points of planned, sequential study beyond the bachelor’s degree, of which at least 30 points must be taken at Teachers College. The Ed.M. can lead to the doctorate at Teachers College and elsewhere, but usually with some loss of time and credits because of differences in emphasis between master’s and doctoral programs. Students who apply to the program while or after taking classes as a non-matriculated student can only transfer 9 points if accepted as a matriculated degree student. School counseling is one of several areas of specialization within the Ed.M. in Psychological Counseling whose graduates are eligible for certification. It is a specialty that allows students to develop appropriate skills to deliver services unique to school settings, in addition to learning the essential functions generally found in the counseling profession. A graduate of this specialization is eligible for provisional certification as a School Counselor in New York State after completing the program, including a series of specified courses. See specific course requirements in the “Degree Requirements” section below,
D E PA R T M E N T O F CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY
as well as in the School Counseling Specialization statement available from the Counseling Psychology Program. For permanent certification, New York State requires two years of employment as a school counselor and 30 additional credits of graduate work. The credits from the Ed.M. beyond the M.A. will be applied toward the 30. Students planning to obtain New York State Certification in School Counseling use the en passant M.A. to apply for provisional certification. The application for certification is made upon graduation. Similarly, students can become certified as rehabilitation counselors by completing a series of specified courses, 3 to 4 years of post-master’s work experience in an appropriate setting, and successful performance on an examination sponsored by the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC). See details in the “Degree Requirements” section below. In addition, students who complete the Ed.M. are eligible to apply in states that offer master’s-level licensure, (NY State has passed a master’s license law. Details of eligibility of programs for training have to be determined by the New York State Department of Education). A terminal M.A. degree is not offered. However, students who have completed 32 credits of appropriate work and passed the master’s level comprehensive examination at Teachers College may apply for the award of the en passant M.A. during their third full-time (or part-time equivalent) semester of study. To satisfy residence requirements, 45 points out of the 60 must be completed at Teachers College if both the M.A. and Ed.M. are sought. Those 45 165
D E PA R T M E N T COUNSELING
OF AND
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY
credits must include all courses required for the M.A. Students should be aware that transfer credits cannot be used toward the M.A. en passant. Required courses are scheduled in the afternoon and evening, so it is possible for students with flexible schedules to attend on a part-time basis and complete the program. Fulltime students generally complete the program in about two years. The length of completion for part-time students varies with the number of points for which they enroll each semester. Doctoral Program
The program of study that follows is described in terms of full-time study. Some of the courses may be taken on a parttime basis. At least one full year of full-time study after the first 30 applicable credits is required unless the student can present persuasive evidence that his/her living and working circ*mstances have not prevented and will not prevent him/her from taking full advantage of the College’s resources. Certain essential subjects and practica are offered only in the morning and early afternoon hours. The doctorate is granted after successful completion of a minimum of 90 points of planned, sequential study beyond the bachelor’s degree, of which at least 60 points must be taken at Teachers College. The doctoral program is approved by the American Psychological Association and requires at least five years, including the equivalent of four years of academic study beyond the Bachelor’s degree and one calendar year of internship. Please note that upon admission to the Ph.D. students will receive a Handbook for the
166
Ph.D. program in Counseling Psychology which will provide updated policy, program features and requirements. The program of study leading to the doctorate in Counseling Psychology is guided by criteria adopted by the American Psychological Association for accredited programs in professional psychology. The course of studies includes: Scientific and professional ethics and standards; Psychological measurement, statistics and research design and methodology; Knowledge and understanding of a) history and systems of psychology b) the biological basis of behavior c) the cognitive-affective bases of behavior d) the social bases of behavior (e.g., social psychology) and e) individual behavior (e.g., personality theory, human development); Intervention strategies and methods of inquiry; Preparation to undertake a doctoral dissertation. In developing the necessary mastery of these areas, the student is expected to be attentive to the historical roots of counseling psychology, i.e., the study of individual differences, the vocational guidance movement and the mental health movement. Similarly, he/she is expected to be prepared for the probable future of counseling psychology in the areas of expertise represented by the faculty, especially the influence of social and cultural systems (home, family, workplace and environment) on human development and change. In addition to core requirements, courses in specific and specialized areas of counseling psychology are available. Courses in the department are supplemented by appropriate offerings in other programs and departments at Teachers College and Columbia University.

The Dissertation For most doctoral students, the completion of course requirements presents few problems. Successful completion of a dissertation is usually less easily managed. Unless carefully planned in advance, it can prove a difficult hurdle. Accordingly, the program has several built-in features designed to facilitate the formulation and successful execution of an acceptable dissertation proposal, and assistance in completing the dissertation. These include a second year project, dissertation seminar and a review of research. In addition students must have an approved dissertation proposal before they can apply for an internship. Students must petition the faculty if they wish to apply for internship.

Clinical Psychology (Code: TXC) Program Coordinator and Director of Clinical Training: Professor Barry A. Farber Degrees Offered: Doctor of Education (Ed.D.)* Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Master of Science (M.S.) en passant *currently not accepting students Special Application Requirements/Information: Doctor of Philosophy
1. A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university or its equivalent in another country. An applicant who applies while still an undergraduate can be accepted only on condition that the bachelor’s degree be received in time for enrollment. The undergraduate transcript must include a course in statistics and at least nine additional credits from among the following areas, at least one of which should include a laboratory experience: personality, social psychology, developmental psychology, abnormal psychology, learning theory, and experimental psychology. An applicant may be accepted with a deficiency in one of these areas on condition that the deficiency be remedied (either during the summer or, without degree credit, during the first semester). 2. Clinical and Research Experience: Though not required, the Program values the additional evidence of maturity, competence, and capacity for responsibility that comes from a broad range of work and life experiences. Thus, most students admitted to the program have engaged, after college, in both supervised psychological research
AND
and some type of supervised work in a clinical setting. 3. Graduate Record Examination (GRE): Applicants must submit the results of the GRE Aptitude tests and the GRE Advanced Examinations in Psychology, taken no more than two years prior to the date of the application. Unless English is not the applicant’s first language, scores on the Verbal and Quantitative tests and the Advanced Test of less than 650 will make acceptance less likely. On test retakes, the Admissions Committee will consider the higher scores. Applicants are urged to take the GRE no later than November. 4. References: Applicants must submit at least two letters of recommendation from individuals able to comment on their scholarly and personal qualifications. 5. Personal Statement: Applicants should try to say something about the range of their interests and experience, attempting to give the Admissions Committee a flavor of the person behind the application. Applicants whose paper qualifications appear most promising are invited to a personal interview, usually in late February or early March. As a rule, no applicant will be accepted on the basis of written application alone. Applicants are interviewed by one student and one faculty member of the Admissions Committee. All material included in the admissions procedure is accorded professional confidentiality by the Committee. The fact that students submit their applications with this knowledge constitutes permission to have these materials read by both faculty and student members of the Committee.
D E PA R T M E N T O F CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY
Program Description: The Clinical Psychology Program offers a course of scholarly/professional education leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The Master of Science (M.S.) and Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) degrees are earned en passant. In the doctoral program students are prepared for professional work in community agencies, hospitals, research centers, colleges and universities, and independent practice. Completing a 95-point doctoral degree, including an internship, typically takes five to seven years. Practicum work is done in the Teachers College Center for Educational and Psychological Services (Director: Dr. Dinelia Rosa). The doctoral program has been continuously accredited by the American Psychological Association since accreditation was initiated in 1948. Most recently (9/01), the program was awarded “full and seven years”—the maximum term allowed. Notable graduates both before and after 1948 include Virginia Axline, Albert Ellis, Chaim Ginott, Helen Singer Kaplan, M. Powell Lawton, Perry London, Rollo May, and Carl Rogers. Our current training model is that of the Scholar-Practitioner. This model best reflects the traditional strengths of this program (e.g., equal weight placed on scholarship and practice, significant faculty involvement in community and professional activities, and faculty scholarship that includes but is not restricted to empirical research). Our scholar-practitioner model means that we are dedicated to training clinically proficient students who are also able to expertly analyze, discuss, and generate scholarly material, whether in the form 171
D E PA R T M E N T COUNSELING
OF AND
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY
of empirical research or theoretical exposition. We fully expect our students’ work to be constantly informed by traditional and emerging scholarship in the field. Conversely, we expect our students’ work to give rise to theoretical and clinically oriented questions that can become the basis for scholarly enterprise. Further, we are committed to the belief that training as a clinical psychologist must be deeply rooted in psychology itself, its body of knowledge, methods, and ethical principles which form the basis and context of clinical practice. The theoretical orientation of the Program may be broadly described as psychodynamic. Although we offer exposure to other perspectives (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy, family therapy), the Program emphasizes instruction in a variety of psychodynamic models, including traditional insight-oriented psychotherapy, ego psychology, interpersonal approaches, short-term therapy, self psychology and object relations. Thus, the primary objective of the program is to train psychodynamically-informed clinical psychologists who are prepared for research and practice with a diverse population in a variety of settings. Increasingly, the Program is emphasizing work in the child-clinical area. The Program shares an inhouse clinic (The Center for Educational and Psychological Services) with several other College programs. All clinical psychology doctoral students are staff members in the Center after their first semester in the Program, and carry a regular caseload of clients. The Center sponsors a weekly case conference, at which students present and discuss cases. Clinical work is supervised by core faculty members or by adjunct faculty who are psychologists in pri172
vate practice in New York. Students usually carry four clients as part of their psychotherapy practicum and receive two hours of supervision each week with two different supervisors. Degree Requirements: The Program requires: 1. The completion of 95 points of academic credit during three to four years of residence at the College; 2. A full-time, twelve month clinical internship during the fourth or fifth year of study; 3. An original piece of empirical research, which also serves as a qualifying paper, to be completed during the second year of study; 4. A passing grade on the certification examination (on Research Methods) during the third year of study; 5. A case presentation and accompanying paper during the third year, demonstrating the student’s ability to integrate theory, research, and practice; and 6. A doctoral dissertation, which must be completed no later than the seventh year after matriculation. First Year During their first year of study, doctoral students typically take the following didactic courses: Professional and Ethical Issues in Clinical Psychology; DSM IV; Psychological Measurement; Applied Regression Analysis; Research Methods; Developmental Psychopathology; and Dynamic Approaches to Psychotherapy. Students also take three semesters of psychological testing and a course in clinical interviewing. Many students begin working with faculty members on research during this first year.
Second Year During their second year, students’ didactic courses include: Brain and Behavior; Experimental Design; Emotion, Culture and Health in Clinical Practice; Psychotherapy with Children; History and Systems; Cognitive, Behavioral and Interpersonal Therapies; the Evolution of Freud’s Psychological Theories; and Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. In addition, students sign up for a full year of research practicum with a faculty member (culminating in an empirical Second-Year Project) and a full-year clinical practicum. Third Year Third year didactic courses include Group Dynamics; Family Therapy; Transference and Countertransference; Empirical Bases of Psychotherapy; and Dissertation Seminar. There is also a full year clinical practicum. Fourth and Fifth Year Fourth year features an optional clinical practicum but is typically devoted to work on the dissertation. Year five is usually spent on a full-year clinical internship. Students who elect either a special childtrack or neuropsychology-track take additional didactic courses and practica. Elective courses for all students include Object Relations Theory; Forensic Psychology; Advanced Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy; Women and Mental Health; Family Counseling and Therapy; The Psychology of Loss and Trauma; Psychotherapy, Religious Diversity, and Spiritualilty; and Assessment and Treatment of Alcohol and Chemical Dependency. The program allows only 12 points of graduate work from another institution to be transferred. No transfer credits are awarded for practica. Coordinator: Professor Farber
Financial Aid Teachers College has three scholarship funds: General, Minority and International Student. The College also arranges a variety of student loans with banks, most of them repayment- and interestdeferred. Limited work study funds may also be available. Since 1993, the Clinical Psychology Program has also granted partial scholarships via the James S. Scappaticcio Fellowship for Gay Men and Lesbian doctoral candidates in Clinical Psychology. Tuition grants are available for one or two “self-identified gay clinical doctoral candidates”; small grants-in-aid are also made available for research on topics relevant to hom*osexuality, including psychological and/or psychosocial aspects of AIDS or AIDS treatment. The program currently does not have NIMH-funded traineeships to offer. Most doctoral students with significant financial need obtain help in the form of a tuition scholarship that covers approximately 25% of the cost of a year’s tuition. Most students also work parttime to cover expenses. Student and Faculty Research Despite the small size of the faculty, the range of both student and faculty research in recent years has been broad. Representative faculty research can be found elsewhere in this Catalog. Examples of recently completed student dissertations include: “Gender Differences in Object Relations and Defensive Style” (Sponsor: Barry Farber); “Internalized Shame, Representations of the Supervisory Process, and Trainees’ Perceptions of Nondisclosure in Psychotherapy Supervision” (Sponsor: Barry Farber); “Patterns of Self Disclosure and Satisfaction in Psychotherapy and in Mar-
COUNSELING riage” (Sponsor: Barry Farber); “Therapists’ Modifications of Psychotherapeutic Boundaries” (Sponsor: Barry Farber); “Effects of Psychological Differentiation on Success with Self-Management of Diabetes” (Sponsor: Faculty); “Psychological Differentiation, Object Representation, and Social Support: Factors Influencing Reaction to Community Violence” (Sponsor: Faculty); “Violence and Psychosis in Relationship to Insight into Illness and Medication Compliance” (Sponsor: Faculty); “Bicultural Involvement, Psychological Differentiation, and Time Perspective as Mediators of Depression and Anxiety in Native Americans living on and off Reservation” (Sponsor: Faculty); “Predictors of Perceived Self-Efficacy Among White and African-American Psychologically Distressed Older Adults” (Sponsor: Elizabeth Midlarsky); “Racial Differences in the Association between Religiosity and Psychological Distress” (Sponsor: Elizabeth Midlarsky); “Impact of Maternal Depression on the Intergenerational Transmission of Religion” (Sponsor: Lisa Miller).

Psychology in Education Program Coordinator: Professor Elizabeth Midlarsky Degree Offered: Master of Arts (M.A.) Two Tracks: Applied Psychology (Code: TXA) General Psychology (Code: TXG) Special Application Requirements/Information: At least one of the two required letters should be an academic reference. The GRE’s are recommended but not required.
AND
Program Description: The Applied Psychology track aims to give students introductory training, at the graduate level, in personality and psychopathology, research methods in psychology, psychological perspectives on social contexts and social problems, and theories of psychotherapy. It includes clinical course work, and opportunities to gain experience in relevant fieldwork and research, both inside and outside the classroom. The General Track is designed to provide students with a broad exposure to clinical psychology and to other areas of psychology that may be of interest to them. Graduates of these academic M.A. programs are not trained for the independent practice of counseling psychotherapy or psychological assessment. However, with a Master of Arts degree, graduates can find employment in research centers, social service agencies, community colleges, and hospitals. Through their interaction with faculty in the Clinical Psychology program, they also have the opportunity to strengthen their candidacy for doctoral study in psychology. Completion of the M.A. degree does not guarantee admission to a doctoral program, here or elsewhere, but outstanding students are likely to be more attractive candidates. Please note that differences between the master’s-level and doctorallevel requirements can reduce the number of master’s credits that will be accepted for transfer to a doctoral program. Degree Requirements: The program for the Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Psychology in Education: Applied Psychology requires 32 credits of coursework and a special project. The program is built around an 18-credit core of courses. Degree requirements

2. Prepare prospective teachers and other professionals to assume leadership roles in educational programs for learners of all ages. We aim to educate leaders who will engage in inquiry about, and reform of, curriculum, teaching, the organization of schools, and teacher education. We are committed to understanding and working with children and adults in culturally and socially diverse field settings (e.g., schools, centers, homes, workplaces, neighborhoods). We approach our work from a critical and historical perspective, and cultivate an ethic of care and rigorous scholarship, taking collaborative approaches to inquiry, teaching, and governance. We respect broad methods of learning and inquiry, and believe in the need for both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Our intellectual and theoretical roots are deep in the Progressive Education tradition, which places high priority on direct experience in teaching, learning, and research; integration of the social, emotional, intellectual, and moral dimensions of education; and authentic respect for learners, the process of learning, and the wisdom gained through practice. We view meaning and truth as constructions, literally built through study, conversation, thought, writing, and critique in the context of a learning community. Faculty and students in the Department participate in a number of interrelated communities, incorporating into them diverse individuals and their respective cultures, life experiences, and points of view. Our central goal is to create, participate in, and nurture many learning communities, while pursuing deeper understanding and mitigation of persistent
problems of educational practice. Along the way, we deliberately educate prospective and experienced professionals and ourselves about ways to initiate, sustain, and provide leadership for these learning communities in a variety of educational settings, including urban contexts and public schools. Typical positions for which students are prepared include: • Teacher or supervisor of: —infancy or early childhood education —early childhood special education —elementary or secondary education —students with dis/Abilities: learning dis/Abilities —gifted education • Director of: —child-care center —community or governmentbased organization or agency —infant and parent center —early childhood program • College teacher in undergraduate or graduate programs specializing in: —infancy or early childhood education —early childhood special education —early childhood policy —elementary or secondary education —students with dis/Abilities: learning dis/Abilities —gifted education —curriculum development —research and theory in curriculum and teaching • Administrator (such as assistant superintendent, consultant, coordinator, director) in charge of: —curriculum and instruction —curriculum research —professional development —gifted education • Teacher-leader in programs for learners from infancy to adulthood • Consultant or educational specialist in a school or nonschool agency.

D E PA R T M E N T CURRICULUM
OF AND
TEACHING
Preservice and some inservice teacher education programs (the Teaching Students with dis/Abilities: Learning dis/Abilities program, for example) are designed to meet New York State and City teacher certification requirements. Requirements for school administrator/supervisor (SAS) may be met through courses incorporated in the Ed.M. degree.
Programs in Curriculum and Teaching Areas of Specialization: Master of Arts
There are two different types of Master of Arts Programs within the Department of Curriculum and Teaching: Preservice, or Initial Certification Programs, and Inservice, or Professional Certification Programs. Preservice, or initial certification M.A. programs, are designed for people with little or no teaching experience or preparation who wish to become teachers. Programs in this department lead to certification in the following areas: Early Childhood Education, Early Childhood Special Education, Dual Certification in Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education, Early Childhood Education with an Extension in Gifted Education, Elementary/Childhood Education, Dual Certification in Elementary/Childhood Education and Early Childhood Education, Elementary/Childhood Education with an Extension in Gifted Education, Teacher of Students with dis/Abilities, and Dual Certification in Elementary/Childhood Education and Teacher of Students with dis/Abilities. The Department now offers three Preservice, or initial certification programs, in Early
178
Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education (see section on Early Childhood Education). In-service, or professional certification, M.A. programs are designed for individuals who are already certified or are initially certified to teach in New York, in another state, or on another grade level and who seek a Masters of Arts degree in Curriculum and Teaching, Gifted Education, Literacy, or Teacher of Students with dis/Abilities (pending approval by New York State Department of Education). Graduates of these programs meet the formal educational requirements for professional (formerly “permanent”) certification in the State of New York. The programs in Gifted Education and Literacy also lead to extensions of the teaching license. The M.A. in Teaching Literacy (TYZL) is being revised. Students interested in this program of study should contact the department for further information. The Department of Curriculum and Teaching also offers an M.A. program for students interested in studies in curriculum and policy who are not seeking teacher certification. Master of Education
The Master of Education degree (Ed.M.) within the Department of Curriculum and Teaching affords students the opportunity to develop an area of expertise beyond that required for classroom teaching. The degree comprises 60 points. Thirty of those 60 points may be transferred from previous graduate work at another institution or at Teachers College, upon the recommendation of the student’s program advisor. See specific programs for additional admission requirements. The Ed.M. program for dual certifi-
cation in Childhood Education and Teaching Students with dis/Abilities: Learning dis/Abilities is designed for people with little or no teaching experience or preparation. The Ed.M. program for dual certification in Childhood Education and Teaching Students with dis/Abilities: Learning dis/Abilities is registered with the State of New York, and graduates of this program are recommended for certification. Doctoral Programs
The Department of Curriculum and Teaching offers a single Doctor of Education program with different areas of concentration. The program requires 90 points of graduate study beyond the Baccalaureate, 35 of which may be transferred from previous graduate work at other institutions, should they meet requirements of the Teachers College degree. Applicants interested in the Ed.D. program in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching should consult the booklet, “Studying for the Ed.D. Degree in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching,” available from the Department of Curriculum and Teaching. The concentrations within the Ed.D. program are: • Curriculum Studies • Early Childhood Education—(specialization) • Early Childhood Policy • Early Childhood Special Education • Educational Leadership and School Change • Gifted Education • Learning dis/Abilities • Reading and Language Arts • Religious Education • Research and Inquiry in Curriculum and Teaching • Teaching and Teacher Education • Urban and Multicultural Education
Enrollment Requirements for First-Year Ed.D. Students Every first-year Ed.D. student in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching is required to enroll in C&T 5000, Theory and Inquiry in Curriculum and Teaching, in both the fall and the spring semesters of his or her first year. C&T 5000 is a 6point course that meets for a double class session once per week, resulting in a minimum first-year enrollment of 12 points. A student can enroll for more than this minimum, but C&T 5000 must be part of his or her first-year course of study. A first-year student is defined as a student who matriculates in the fall term or who matriculated in the previous spring or summer term and is enrolling for his or her first fall term. C&T 5000 is designed to make beginning doctoral students aware of important problems and issues in curriculum and teaching, to introduce students to methods of formulating questions and to modes of inquiry appropriate to doctorallevel research, and to build a cohesive student cohort. C&T 5000 is a rigorous course, with respect to both the quantity and sophistication of the material for which students are held responsible. The course requires a commitment of time and effort commensurate with the norms of scholarship at the doctoral level. It is our belief that the demands placed on the students by this course will benefit students and that those who complete the course and pass the certification examination will be well prepared to continue their doctoral studies successfully through the dissertation phase. Students accepted into the Ed.D. program will receive a list of course texts with their acceptance letters so they can begin their reading early.
D E PA R T M E N T O F CURRICULUM AND TEACHING Special Application Requirements/Information: For Inservice M.A. admission, please submit a resume and (a) proof of early childhood, elementary or secondary school teacher initial certification (formerly “provisional”) or professional certification (formerly “permanent”), or (b) proof that you have completed an accredited Elementary, Early Childhood or Secondary teacher preparation/student teaching program. Those who are teaching in an independent school must present proof of at least one year’s head teaching experience (which must be assessed and approved by the faculty). (For admission requirements for the Preservice M.A., refer to the section on Elementary/ Childhood Education—Preservice.) Please note that neither the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) nor the Miller Analogies Test is required for application to any of the M.A. programs in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching. In addition to the above, Ed.M. students must provide evidence of a minimum of two years of successful teaching experience, and students seeking the Ed.D. degree must provide evidence of a minimum of three years of successful teaching experience or equivalent experience. Please note that neither the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) nor the Miller Analogies Test is required for application to any of the Ed.M. programs in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching. The exception is the Ed.M. in Childhood Education and Teaching Students with dis/Abilities: Learning dis/Abilities. For the program in Teaching students with dis/Abilities: Learning dis/Abilities, prior certification or completion of a recognized degree program in some field of general education is required. A year of teaching is
not an acceptable substitute. Evidence of prior teaching is not required. Admission to programs leading to the Ed.D. degree is determined on the basis of academic ability as evidenced by success in prior academic work and/or other measures of academic aptitude; demonstrable potential for research, field inquiry, or development activities in education; and three years of successful teaching or equivalent experience.

Program Description: Master of Arts
The Master of Arts programs in Early Childhood and Early Childhood Special Education prepare graduate students to teach in diverse and inclusive environments, including homes, schools, and other community settings, which serve children from birth to age 8 and their families. Child-centered and culturally sensitive practices are emphasized throughout the program, focusing on the need for multiple methods of instruction to accommodate a broad range of learners. Through a curriculum that integrates general and special early childhood education content, we aim to enable our initial certification students to become outstanding early childhood teachers, decision makers, and intellectual and ethical leaders. Honoring the importance of understanding children’s development and learning in context, the program emphasizes collaboration with families and other professionals and considers policies that affect families’ access to desirable services. Our students participate in several field experiences, which serve as the foundation from which theories about development, learning, and curriculum come to life and through which teachers begin to construct their professional practice.
D E PA R T M E N T O F CURRICULUM AND TEACHING The course of study for the M.A. in Early Childhood Education leads to initial certification in Early Childhood (birth–8 years). The course of study for the M.A. in Early Childhood Special Education leads to initial certification as a teacher of students with disabilities in early childhood (birth–8 years). Students with backgrounds in elementary education or with no previous course work in education must complete at least 40 credits in order to obtain the Master of Arts degree and the department’s recommendation for initial certification as an early childhood teacher or a teacher of students with disabilities, early childhood. The course of study for the M.A. in Dual Early Childhood/Special Education leads to initial certification as both an early childhood teacher and a teacher of students with disabilities in early childhood (birth–8 years). Students must complete at least 48 credits in order to obtain the Master of Arts degree and the department’s recommendation for initial dual certification. Students can qualify for the extension in gifted education as well as certification for birth-grade 2 by enrolling in the 42-credit gifted education extension program (see following pages). Master of Education
The 60-point Master of Education (Ed.M.) program in Early Childhood Education focuses on leadership in early childhood settings. It offers students who have already completed the M.A (or the equivalent) an opportunity for more specialized and advanced study, training, and practice in the field. The Master of Education (Ed.M.) with an Early Childhood Policy concentration is designed to give students a firm grounding in early childhood pedagogy, programs, and
practice as well as in policy analysis and policy making related to young children and their families. Students will combine theoretical knowledge with practice in the policy field; they will also become familiar with an array of policy issues impacting contemporary child and family life. While the focus of this work is on U.S. policy, there will be opportunity for international and comparative work as well. The Master of Education (Ed.M.) program in Early Childhood Special Education offers students who have already completed the Master of Arts degree (or the equivalent) an opportunity for more specialized and advanced study, training, and practice in the field. Ed.M. students take a series of interdisciplinary courses focused on their individual areas of interest (e.g., infant development and practice, working with families, working in inclusive settings, curriculum development, etc.). Teaching and research practica are incorporated into the program. At the doctoral level, the concentration in Early Childhood Education prepares candidates for college teaching, research, policy, and other leadership positions in early childhood education. The concentration is highly selective, aiming to identify and train individuals whose prior education and experience, whether or not it has been specifically in the field of early childhood, gives promise of the ability to develop modes of inquiry suitable to the field’s complexities. The Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) concentration in Early Childhood Policy prepares candidates for leadership positions, college teaching, and research in early childhood policy. The concentration is highly selective, aiming to identify and
train individuals whose prior education and experience, whether or not it has been specifically in the field of early childhood, gives promise of the ability to develop modes of inquiry suitable to the field’s complexities. Combining rigorous methodological, conceptual, and practical interdisciplinary experiences, the program is designed for those interested in shaping the policy agenda for young children and their families. It is predicated on the principle that undergirding all policy work, candidates must have thorough understandings of both substantive content (early childhood practices, pedagogy, and theory) and research skills. While the focus of this program is on U.S. early childhood policy, there will be opportunity for international and comparative work. The Department of Curriculum and Teaching offers a doctoral concentration in Early Childhood Special Education. This concentration prepares students for careers related to leadership and advocacy in the field, research and scholarship, and higher education and teacher preparation programs. Core courses emphasize theory and foundations in general and special early childhood education and research methods and training. Seminars and advanced practica focus on special topics in the field. Opportunities for involvement in faculty-sponsored research and professional development activities are an integral part of the program concentration.

Teaching Students with dis/Abilities: Learning dis/Abilities (Code: TEN) Program Coordinator: Professor Reid Degrees Offered: Master of Arts (M.A.) Doctor of Education (Ed.D.), available through Curriculum and Teaching (Code: TYZ)
Special Application Requirements/Information: This program is for students who already have or who want to take simultaneously a teaching certificate in some field within general education—at elementary, middle school, or high school levels. Applications are accepted throughout the year for the M.A. program, but only at specified times for the dual certification program in Childhood Education and Teaching Students with dis/Abilities: Learning dis/Abilities (see separate listing). A student in either the Master of Arts program or the dual certificate Ed.M. program will qualify for New York State professional teaching certification when the degree program has been completed. These are new programs designed to meet State regulations that go into effect after February 1, 2004. Consequently, there may be some necessary changes in course content and scheduling as we put the new programs into place. Please check with Ms. Hercus-Rowe throughout the academic year. For the 2003–2004 academic year, the Department of Curriculum and Teaching will not offer programs leading to Teaching of Students with dis/Abilities: Learning dis/Abilities certification to a student who does not have or is not concurrently earning a general education teaching certificate as well. We are submitting a proposal to offer a professional certification program for students who already hold a teaching certificate in Special Education (with or without general education certification) in dis/Ability Studies in Education. This program will begin on July 1, 2004, pending approval by the New York State Department of Education.

Program Description: Master of Arts
*This program will start as of July 1, 2004 pending approval by the New York State Department of Education* The proposed Masters of Arts in dis/Ability Studies in Education (DSE) at Teachers College, Columbia University, is a 32credit minimum Masters of Arts program for people who already hold a special education teaching certificate and who, therefore, have already met the professional standards for Teachers of Students with dis/Abilities set by the Council for Exceptional Children. These are special education teachers who wish to obtain a professional teaching certificate.

Our goal is to prepare students in the emerging interdisciplinary field of scholarship described by the DSE special interest group of the American Association for Educational Research as critically examining issues related to the dynamic interplays between dis/Ability and various aspects of culture and society with specific attention to education. The program–uniting critical inquiry and political advocacy with a sociocultural, rather than medicalized, view of dis/Ability–focuses on scholarly approaches that center dis/Ability from an integrative, post-positivist approach to the social sciences, humanities, arts, and education. In this program, the faculty will promote the infusion of analyses and interpretations of dis/Ability throughout all forms of educational research and teacher education. Doctor of Education

Departmental mission:
Programs in this Department share the common goal of helping people to realize their full potential as learners, to make informed decisions, and to attain the best possible quality of life. Health and learning are inextricably linked. Optimal learning cannot take place in an atmosphere permeated with physical, psychological, and social health problems, and optimal health cannot be achieved without skill in learning and literacy. One way to enhance learning potential is by overcoming health-related constraints and barriers to literacy through work at both the individual and community levels. Some programs prepare professionals to work with individuals and draw on and contribute to the behavioral sciences and education. Others emphasize the development and assessment of innovative, multidisciplinary, community-based interventions. The programs in the Department fall into the following categories:
Applied Educational Psychology
The fields of study included in this program are: Reading Specialist and School Psychology. Such study prepares students to serve as educators, scientists, and service providers in a variety of settings, including universities, schools, psychoeducational clinics, hospital-based child study clinics, and community agencies. Health Studies
The health studies program includes: Health Education, Nursing Education, and Nutrition (Applied Physiology and Nutrition, Community Nutrition Education, Dietetic Internship, Nutrition and Public Health, Nutrition Education). These programs prepare students to serve in leadership roles in community-based organizations, government agencies, corporations, health care settings, and educational settings. Current knowledge in behavioral science and education is integrated with field-based applications for health promotion and disease prevention. Special Education
Among the programs included in Special Education are: Administration and Supervision of Special Education Programs, Applied Behavior Analysis, Blindness and Visual Impairment, Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Guidance and Habilitation, Instructional Practice, Mental Retardation, Physical Disabilities, Research and Supervision of Special Education programs. These programs prepare students to serve as leaders and scholar-practitioners skilled in the development, evaluation and application of practices that improve the life prospects of people with disabilities.
The Teaching of American Sign Language (ASL) as a Foreign Language
Teaching American Sign Language (ASL) as a Foreign Language prepares students to serve as scholar-practitioners who are skilled, knowledgeable and practiced in the development, evaluation and implementation of pedagogy that will instruct and educate individuals unfamiliar with ASL, the deaf community, and the culture of individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Typically, the population that these scholar-practitioners will eventually instruct and educate are individuals who themselves have hearing, are in regular education programs, and possess a wide range of cognitive, social, and academic abilities and cultural backgrounds. The Department faculty offers a broad spectrum of expertise. We encourage multidisciplinary efforts within the faculty and hope that, in the course of their studies, students will acquire the valuable skill of working collaboratively with experts in other disciplines.

School Psychology (Code: TKL-Ed.M.) (Code: TKT-Ed.D.) Program Coordinator: Professor Stephen Peverly Degrees Offered: Master of Education (Ed.M.) Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) Special Application Instructions/Information: The GRE general test and an academic writing sample (a paper for a prior undergraduate or graduate class) are required for applicants to both the Ed.M. and Ed.D. degrees.
Any student wishing to focus on Low Incidence/Handicaps/ Hearing Impaired or Neuropsychology should indicate this on the application form under “Area of Specialization.” Program Description: Our doctoral (fully approved by APA and NASP) and master’s programs focus on the application of cognitive and developmental psychology to the promotion of competence in learning and mental health in schools and other educational contexts. Course work provides students with a strong foundation in the theory and research of cognitive and developmental psychology and its application to (a) the instruction and learning of school related subjects, particularly reading, and (b) the understanding and treatment of mental health problems. Practica and internship experiences provide students with the opportunity to apply this knowledge directly to their work with clients. Clients are seen in a variety of contexts, including our collaborating schools (we provide school psychological services to children and youth in 3 schools that serve children from racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse low and middle income environments). Faculty research, all of which is cognitively and/or developmentally oriented, provides yet another vehicle for students (doctoral primarily) to develop and apply their knowledge. The overall goal of the program is to educate school psychologists who can promote the cognitive, behavioral, and social growth and development of children and families from diverse linguistic, cultural or racial backgrounds, through the ability to: • Assess and diagnose learning, behavior, and emotional
problems and strengths, from early childhood through middle adulthood, with an emphasis on school-age children and youth. • Generate recommendations that are developmentally appropriate, remediate deficits effectively, and promote competence. • Supervise other professionals-in-training in psychoeducational assessment and educational interventions with clients; • Implement and evaluate theoretically and empirically sound educational and mental health intervention programs for school personnel, families and children. Examples include cognitive-behavioral individual and group interventions for coping with anxiety-related problems and for developing study skills, social skills, and early reading skills; • Implement and evaluate behavioral consultation with school personnel and parents about children’s instruction and learning, mental health and behavior. Examples include consultation about maximizing the learning and appropriate behavior of children with attention, learning, conduct and social skill deficits. • In addition, doctoral graduates will be able to conduct psychological research related to children’s cognitive and social-emotional functioning and take leadership roles in a broad range of settings such as schools, universities, psychoeducational clinics, and community agencies.

H E A LT H Program Description: The Program in Health Education at Teachers College has had a long history in preparing health education specialists. Health education is a professional field that has expanded rapidly, primarily because of national policy that has emphasized health promotion and disease prevention. Its goal is to facilitate voluntary healthrelated behavioral and social change through the application of principles of behavioral and social sciences. As such, health education is concerned with motivating and enabling individuals and groups to assume responsibility for their health by learning and adopting behaviors, and supporting social policies that can promote and maintain health. The program at Teachers College is grounded in the belief that community-level structures and organizations play a key role in determining the health of the people. It offers courses in which students learn to analyze and understand, and thus become able to influence community structures that either enhance or undercut health-promoting individual behaviors. In addition to Health Education courses, students are encouraged to pursue interdisciplinary study and research throughout Teachers College, as well as other divisions of Columbia University such as the School of Public Health and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The Center for Health Promotion at Teachers College, which involves students and faculty, provides opportunities to take part in ongoing research projects in health promotion and disease prevention.
Students also may participate in research being conducted in the Research Division at the Hospital for Special Surgery, the Department of Medicine at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, or with the Diabetes Research and Training Center at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Both have multi-institutional collaborative efforts involving faculty from the Program in Health Education at Teachers College. The program prepares graduates who will assume positions of leadership and service as professional health educators in a variety of practice, research, and policy-making settings. Graduates of the program take positions as leaders in health promotion and disease prevention programs of voluntary health agencies, hospitals and other health care organizations, school systems, business and industry, and health-related governmental agencies in the United States and in other countries. They also serve as educator-scholars in elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, and as health services researchers in academic medical centers. Each degree program has some flexibility in order to accommodate differences in previous professional preparation, interests, and professional career objectives of students. In general, the programs of study emphasize the development of competencies in assessing individual and community need for health education; planning effective health education programs; implementing health education programs; coordinating the provision of health education services; acting as a resource person in health education; communicating health and health educational needs, concerns, and resources; evaluating the effectiveness of health education programs;
and conducting research in health education. Students at both the master’s and doctoral levels are encouraged to become actively involved in departmental, college, and university functions which facilitate interaction with faculty and other students, and which have the potential to enrich the student’s intellectual and professional growth. They are expected to undertake the complex and challenging tasks associated with graduate study and other related learning experiences in such a manner as to demonstrate their intellectual discipline. Such discipline includes integrity, creativity, and innovation, as well as the student’s abilities to conceptualize at a high level, think critically, communicate effectively both orally and in writing, and provide leadership. Students also are expected to demonstrate the ability to appreciate, relate to, and communicate with ethnically, racially, and linguistically diverse individuals and groups of people who possess different personal, social, and cultural histories than their own. They are also encouraged to develop a strong sense of professional identity and commitment to professional affairs in health education. This might take the form of active membership in appropriate national, regional, or local professional organizations, participation in professional meetings, presenting an abstract or a paper at professional meeting, or serving on a professional committee. Completion of the M.A. degree program makes graduates eligible to qualify for certification as a Certified Health Education Specialist through the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, Inc.

Nursing Education: (Nurse Educator/Patient Educator) (Code: TNP) Program Coordinator: Kathleen A. O’Connell Program Office: 678-3120 e-mail: [emailprotected] Degree Offered: Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) Special Application Requirements/Information: In addition to the requirements for admission to Teachers College, an applicant for the Doctor of Education degree in Nursing must be a registered nurse in any U.S. state or in Canada and hold a baccalaureate degree and a master’s degree. Applicants are required to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and provide a writing sample (a course paper, master’s thesis, published paper, or other scholarly writing). Program Description: Teachers College was the first academic setting to educate nurses. Nursing education began at Teachers College in 1899. The Nursing Education Program has a long and distinguished tradition of commitment to the education of nurses who have diverse roles in academic and community settings in the United States and abroad. Current placement of the program within the Department of Health and Behavior Studies ensures education with an interdisciplinary approach to problems in nursing, health, and society. This program is designed for (1) nurse practitioners with master’s degrees who want to take the lead in develop-
ing innovative interventions for improving health behavior outcomes in primary care (2) nurse educators with master’s degrees who want to gain more expertise in all aspects of education, including gaining the research skills that all faculty of the 21st Century will be expected to have. (3) clinical specialists with master’s degrees who want to improve their effectiveness in helping patients with chronic illness achieve maximal functioning. The purpose of the this program is to give students who are registered nurses with master’s degrees in nursing doctoral level education aimed at understanding and changing health behavior and at educating both clients and nursing students. It is well established that over 50% of mortality of U.S. citizens can be attributed to lifestyle. With the globalization of the market place, and of epidemics of infectious diseases, lifestyle and health behavior also significantly affect the health and well-being of much of the world’s population. Graduates of this program will be prepared to design interventions and conduct research on health behavior, health education and health promotion. In addition, graduates of the program will be conversant with history, theory, and current trends in nursing so that they can use nursing knowledge and expertise to improve the health and well being of the citizens of the United States and of the global community. To ensure that knowledge in nursing and in health behavior and health promotion is passed on to the next generation of nurses, graduates of this program will also be prepared to engage in educationally sound programs for nursing students and for clients. Graduates of the pro-
gram will thus be able to take their place among distinguished nursing leaders who carry out cutting edge research and engage in innovative strategies for teaching students of nursing and for teaching clients to modify their health behavior. In order to build on previous work done by nurses and other investigators in the health behavior arena, students will attain a rich background in the study of nursing theory, nursing research, the history of nursing and professional issues affecting the nursing profession. In addition, students will gain expertise in managing health behavior change and in using research and statistical approaches. Study of methods and approaches to teaching clients and to teaching nursing students at undergraduate and graduate levels will be included as an integral part of the preparation of nurse scholars. Students also are expected to demonstrate the ability to appreciate, relate to, and communicate with ethnically, racially, and linguistically diverse individuals who possess different personal, social, and cultural histories than their own. Degree Requirements: The Doctor of Education program in Nursing Education requires a minimum of 90 points beyond the baccalaureate degree. Up to 38 graduate level points taken at another institution may be transferred toward doctoral requirements. For all students, the program includes course work in four areas: Nursing, Health Behavior, Research, and Education. In addition, students choose a functional emphasis area in research, education or another area consistent with the program and with advisor approval. Nine points in addition to those points required of
