Programs | Teachers College Columbia University

Our dynamic, interrelated programs utilize research and dissemination, policy development and policy advocacy, and community engagement in order to define and secure the full range of resources, supports, and services necessary to provide the opportunity to a meaningful education to socioeconomically disadvantaged children. These resources include not only the most important school-based educational resources like high quality teaching, a rich and rigorous curriculum, adequate facilities, and sufficient, up-to- date learning materials. They also include the most important out-of-school resources in areas like early childhood education, physical and mental health care, after school and summer services and family support.
