The School of Education is home to two institutes and a center:  the Institute for Literacy Studies; the Bronx Institute; and the Center for School/College Collaboratives.   Each focuses on improving urban education and student progress.  All three support a PreK-18 pipeline for diverse, traditional-age and adult students who reside in the Bronx and surrounding communities and provide professional-development opportunities for educators. They enact the School’s Core Purposes and influence, in very significant ways, our concerted efforts to lead and transform educational practices in urban contexts.  The activities of the two institutes and center are funded by local and national entities in the public and private sectors.
