The Center's mission is to improve educational outcomes for Bronx residents and ensure that more highly qualified Bronx teachers enter Bronx classrooms. We aim to achieve this through 4 goals:

1. Increase the number of highly qualified Bronx teachers entering Bronx schools
2. Prepare teachers in high need areas (e.g STEM fields, teaching students with disabilities)
3. Improve educational outcomes for Bronx K-12th grade students
4. Conduct research, disseminate findings, and promote research-based practices
