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 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 the theoretical frameworks they study in their courses at Bank Street.
There is an abundance of support for the very limited number of students
(14) in the program. Wesleyan students who have participated in this
program give it a very high recommendation.
Watch the CRC calendar for the
date of an info session in September.
