Bank Street specializes in developing programs to fulfil your goals. We can develop programs based on current courses, or on the topic of your choice. For a consultation, contact Joy Lundeen Ellebbane, Director. 212-875-4707.
Current work includes
- Mathematics curriculum development in a Nursery through Eighth Grade Independent School in Manhattan,
- Support in mapping curriculum for an independent school in Brooklyn, as they grow to a K-5 program. The curriculum developed infused the major tenets of Reggio, basing project work in Social Studies and building an intentional community, while challenging the children academically.
- A two-day conference introducing the Bank Street Philosophy to members of a national early chilhood association. Through discussion, group activities, and classroom observations, participants explored how theory meets practice in the classroom curriculum.
- Bank Street, in collaboration with PA Virtual Charer School, created a Parent Educator Certificate, consisting of five online classes taught by Bank Street faculty to enhance the collaboration between teachers and parent-educators and providing an educational foundation for parents.
