Our Work with Schools and Communities

Bank Street works with leaders from schools, districts, states, teacher preparation programs, and communities across the country to advance system-wide change and support capacity building at scale. Our work aims to improve the care and education of students from birth through higher education by strengthening and enabling the success of the adults who support them. Through partnerships and programs led by our Graduate School of Education and the Bank Street Education Center, we are building an evidence base to inform local practice and address some of the nation’s deepest organizational challenges currently hindering effective and equitable teaching and learning for all.

By tapping into the longstanding knowledge-base and expertise of Bank Street educators and leaders, we tailor our work to fit the distinct strengths, needs, and opportunities of program partners to help students thrive in school settings. Our work is grounded in Bank Street’s commitment to strengths-based, learner-centered, and equitable educational practices.
