Bank Street College of Education
Bank Street College of Education is a private school, graduate school, and education research center located in New York City's Upper West Side neighborhood. It consists of a graduate-only teacher training college, Bank Street Graduate School of Education, and an independent nursery-through-8th-grade school, the Bank Street School for Children.
The origins of the school lie in the Bureau of Educational Experiments, which was established in 1916 by Lucy Sprague Mitchell, her husband Wesley Clair Mitchell, and Harriet Merrill Johnson; Lucy Mitchell's cousin Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge provided financial support. The bureau was intended to foster research into, and development of, experimental and progressive education, and was influenced by the thinking of Edward Thorndike and John Dewey, both of whom Mitchell had studied with at Columbia University. The bureau was run by a council of twelve members, but Mitchell was its most influential figure until the 1950s. The name of the institution derives from its 1930–1971 location at 69 Bank Street in Greenwich Village.
In 1919 the bureau started a nursery school for children from fifteen to thirty-six months old; Harriet Johnson was the director. The school fed in to the Play School for three- to seven-year-olds run by Caroline Pratt; eight-year-olds were taught in a special class by members of the bureau.
Bank Street College of Education served as an academic consultant during development for Multiplication Rock, the first series of Schoolhouse Rock!
In 1958, the college received a $1,000,000 grant from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare for a five-year study on how schools for younger children could improve mental health development.
Bank Street College of Education serves as the home for both the School for Children and the Graduate School of Education, as well as a partner to schools and communities to advance studies and research in education through Bank Street Education Center and Bank Street Family Center. Since 1960, the school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools or its successor the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Bank Street School for Children is accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools.
Bank Street College of Education is the education and research arm of Bank Street. It began in 1916 as The Bureau of Educational Experiments (BEE) in and was founded by Lucy Sprague Mitchell in NYC. Spearheading research into understanding how children learn and grow, Bank Street developed The Bank Street approach, known as the developmental-interaction approach, an expression of progressive education. In the 1950s, the school changed its name to Bank Street College of Education.
The Education Center at Bank Street provide various levels of trainings and education to schools and communities across the country with the purpose of making education more equitable.
