We have been awarded grants in many areas, and we have been selected for a number of pilot programs by the State and several well-known foundations. The Arlington Schools believe that excellence in education cannot be achieved without educated, well-trained and highly motivated teachers and administrators. We also believe that a strong staff is a diverse staff, representative of a variety of national, regional, ethnic, religious and social heritages.

Bank Street College Graduate School of Education Address: 610 West 112th Street City: New York State: NY Zip: 10025 Website: www.bankstreet.edu Contact Person: Kristin McCracken Title: Associate Director of Admissions Telephone: 212-875-4460 Fax: 212-875-4678 Email: [email protected] Organization Description: Bank Street College is a graduate school of education that prepares individuals for meaningful work with children in school, museum, hospital, and other settings. Most of our programs lead to New York State certification; programs range from early childhood through middle school education, in areas such as general education, special education, dual language/bilingual education, reading and literacy, infant and parent development/early intervention, and educational leadership. We also offer programs in museum education and child life. Bank Street's creative approach to teaching and learning recognizes that children learn best when they are actively engaged with materials, ideas and people. Using this approach, Bank Street teachers encourage children to be curious, love learning, be respectful and tolerant of human differences, engage with the world around them, and prepare to lead lives of consequence. Our approach begins with sound developmental principles. It sees the educator as one who facilitates learning, aims for clear educational objectives, and encourages the learners to engage fully in the process of discovery and of creating understanding. We strive to foster children's development in the broadest sense by providing diverse opportunities for physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth. We understand that children do not all learn at the same rate or in the same way. We also understand that learning is social, and that children learn in interaction with each other and with their environment. Finally, we believe that the Bank Street approach leads to a lifetime of learning. Positions: Master of Science in Education degrees are ideal for those with a liberal arts and science background who want to prepare for a career in education. Qualifications: All programs require a bachelor's degree, preferably demonstrating both breadth and depth in the liberal arts and sciences Boston College Lynch School of Education
