School Partnerships
Welcome!
The Office of School Partnerships oversees your school placement and supervision as you complete your fieldwork and student teaching/practicum requirements in New York public schools. The undergraduate and graduate clinical experiences provide you with extensive support, supervision, and mentorship from the School of Education and its partner schools. This model is designed to offer you an in-depth experience in all aspects of teaching, honing, and developing your professional dispositions within a partner school. State guidelines require that your fieldwork/student teaching/practicum experiences provide opportunities to work with diverse student populations, including various cultures, socio-economic statuses, and levels of academic proficiency. To ensure compliance, we carefully vet our partner schools, predominantly partnering with NYC, Westchester, and Rockland County public schools.
The 91ÊÓƵ School of Education faculty, administration, and staff are here to support you through all aspects of your clinical experiences. We are dedicated to preparing you to become a reflective professional who promotes justice, creates caring classrooms and communities, and enables all students to learn. Fieldwork and student teaching/practicum experiences will allow you to put what you learn in class into practice.

School Partner Spotlight: 91ÊÓƵ High School
More than a name, our partnership with NYCDOE affiliate, 91ÊÓƵ High School, has been established for many, many years. It all began with Dr. Art Maloney, an Emeritus School of Education faculty member and Chair, who served as a liaison and initiated, planned, and implemented many events, programs, guest speakers, workshops, and research projects with 91ÊÓƵ High School. Upon his retirement, Professor Sharon Medow continued to build a new phase in developing the partnership further and work together on projects, events, and professional development opportunities.
Since then, the partnership has continued to blossom with ongoing collaboration that has supported our students. Eric Glatz, 91ÊÓƵ High School Principal, and Michael Sowiski, Assistant Principal, are dedicated school leaders and work closely with the School of Education on all aspects of our school partnership initiatives.
