Project ConTExT
ConTExT (Contextualizing Teacher Candidates' Experience with Technology) is a project consisting of a consortium of Institutions of Higher Education (Bank Street College and New York University), an LEA (NYC Department of Education's Instructional Division 9), three public schools (River East School in East Harlem; Midtown West School in Hell's Kitchen; and City Hall Academy, a citywide demonstration school), and one private K-8 school (Bank Street School for Children.) By preparing future teachers to use technology, our project will address several needs: the need for K-8 students, especially students from economically disadvantaged families and those with disabilities, to learn in classrooms where technology is integrated with the curriculum and tailored to individual learning styles to help all achieve state and local standards; the need to infuse technology in the advisement/supervised fieldwork component of teacher preparation so that future teachers experience and learn to use technology that is integrated with the curriculum in their classrooms and that supports assessment and instruction; and the need for local institutions of teacher preparation to be able to provide technology-rich field placements and experiences for teacher candidates.

Math for All
The Center has most recently been awarded a four year grant by the National
Science Foundation to develop multi-media case materials on inclusive
practice in mathematics (Math for All, $1.7 million) and a new PT 3 Grant
from the federal Department of Education to develop technology using field
sites (Project ConTexT, $1.125 million).
