The City University of New York?s teacher-education programs, which have had continuous, marked success in preparing the next generation of students for 21st century classrooms, are engaged in many initiatives to further enhance teacher preparation.
CUNY?s nine campuses with teacher-education programs are fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, which is now known as the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation, the recognized accrediting agency in the field. Those programs are at Brooklyn, Hunter, Lehman, Medgar Evers, Queens and York Colleges, as well as City College, the College of Staten Island and New York City College of Technology. CUNY candidates achieve high success rates ? well over 90 percent ? on the state certification exam that all candidates take.
CUNY is in the lead nationally and locally in diversifying the teacher workforce. The combined percentage of CUNY black and Hispanic graduates, and of graduates employed by the New York City Department of Education, is double the national workforce percentage (approximately 33 percent at CUNY for both groups combined vs. 14 percent nationally).
Symbolic of the high level of teacher preparation at CUNY are its distinguished partnerships. CUNY?s City College is the exclusive higher educational institution partner in New York State for Math for America ? a privately funded nonprofit that awards $100,000 stipends, payable over five years, to a select group of graduate students who commit to teaching math in New York City?s public secondary schools. The highly competitive program covers the cost of a three-semester master?s in secondary math education, and draws top students from CUNY campuses and undergraduate institutions including Colgate, Columbia, Georgetown, Haverford, and the University of California-Berkeley.
Another measure of CUNY?s quality is its status as a major partner in Lincoln Center Arts Education, which prepares candidates in arts education at Brooklyn, City, Hunter, Lehman, and Queens Colleges.
