First of its Kind

Established in 1938, the Department of Curriculum & Teaching at Teachers College was the first of its kind in the U.S. Since the beginning, we’ve been dedicated to the education of teachers, supervisors, and teacher-leaders working both within and outside of traditional classrooms. Students in our programs focus on current problems in curriculum and teaching across all subjects and levels of schooling.
