The Urban Education Semester (UES) is an interdisciplinary, academic immersion program which introduces students from all academic backgrounds to the complexity of issues facing urban public education. The program addresses topics ranging from theories of child development and child-centered learning, creating mission-driven schools, and the systemic implementation of policies and school reform. Students participating in the program discover that high quality, effective education is possible in urban public schools, and that attentiveness to issues of public education is a social responsibility that all of us must share as citizens in today’s world.

Open to undergraduates attending member colleges of The Venture Consortium, the program offers supervised fieldwork in a diverse selection of classrooms and educational settings in New York City public school classrooms. The coursework as well as individual and group-oriented advising are offered by faculty at Bank Street College of Education, cited as one of the top three teacher preparation programs in the country. Through a programmatic design that integrates theory and practice, students are encouraged to examine their classroom placement experiences, where they spend three days a week, along side with the theoretical frameworks they study in their courses at Bank Street.

Students interested in urban environments, community development, teaching and learning, and systemic reform find that a semester-long immersion program of living and learning in the same setting as their students enables them to critically examine urban public education from the perspective of teachers and policy makers in one of the nation’s largest and most complex school systems.
