Educational equity - a moral imperative for the 21st century.
The New Civil Right: Education?
Three months later, the Public Education Network Weekly NewsBlast is still quoting from the debate at TC in October between the education advisors of the two presidential candidates. The following, from Obama advisor Linda Darling-Hammond is the current PEN Quote of the Week:"Right now, we don't have the capacity to ensure that everyone gets what is really the new civil right -- access to a high-quality public education. That is going to require equalization of resources, and it is going to require investments. When people -- particularly rich people -- say that money doesn't matter. I don't see them trying to give it up."

Great teachers may be born, but a growing movement argues that great teaching can be made by adapting instruction to students' needs. TC is in the vanguard.
In videotaped interviews, four TC department chairs weigh in online on the work of their faculty, adding to knowledge in their field and their own research
The Daily News reports on a study by TC faculty member Louis Cristillo, which shows, among other things, that Muslim students in New York City are more likely to get attacked for their religion on the street, in stores and in restaurants than in the city's public schools. Preliminary results of the study were released last year.
