Teachers College to Partner with 10 Public Schools in Harlem
Teachers College, Columbia University--6/30/2008--Teachers College has received a $5 million grant from the GE Foundation to create an intensive new partnership with a group of 10 public schools in Harlem.
The College will use the grant to build the partner schools’ capacity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics instruction. Ultimately, the College’s Harlem partnership initiative will expand to include a broader range of subject areas and disciplines at a larger group of schools.
Teachers College is working in conjunction with Columbia University’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, as well as the Morningside Area Alliance, which promotes education, affordable housing and other services in upper Manhattan.
