School / College Collaboratives
About Us
The Center for School/College Collaboratives (CSCC) at Lehman College aims to strengthen partnerships between the School of Education and Bronx schools, improving educational outcomes for local residents. CSCC offers enriching experiences for Bronx middle and high school students, especially those in STEM fields or interested in teaching careers. It supports teacher candidates through mentorship, training, fieldwork, and funding.
CSCC also advances research on effective teacher preparation and retention, focusing on high-need areas like special education and STEM. It promotes residency programs and embedded clinical fieldwork to improve teacher retention and success.
By fostering a coordinated presence in K-12 education, CSCC works to enhance education policies and outcomes for Bronx students, aiming to increase college readiness, graduation rates, and long-term success.
