Welcome Letter

Welcome to NYU Steinhardt's Department of Teaching & Learning Department! 

You are now a part of a community that’s actively engaged with the theory and practice of how people learn. As a Teaching and Learning student, you can:

• Develop your teaching skills and build your expertise in your content area

• Observe and train in global education systems

• Engage with urban schools and communities

• Learn how to promote equity and inclusion in the classroom

• Bring digital technology into real-world learning spaces

Our dynamic faculty have a wealth of hands-on experience in the field, from directing special education programs to advocating for social justice policy in the education space. They will provide mentorship, guidance, and support on your path to becoming an effective educator.

We understand that there is a lot that you need to know to be a successful student here at NYU. That is why we created this online guide; to make sure you are informed about the departmental policies and procedures that will guide your studies as well as the many resources and tools available to help you! 

If you have questions about department policies and procedures, then this should be your first stop! You can also review our department website and NYU Steinhardt's Current Student website for additional resources. 

Have more questions? Please email teachlearn.advise@nyu.edu with questions on program information, course registration, and referrals to both departmental and campus resources. 

Once again, welcome to our T&L community! We are looking forward to working with you during your time at NYU Steinhardt.

Warm regards,

The Department of Teaching & Learning
