Childhood Education, Grades 1-6 Quest

The Childhood Education, Grades 1-6 (QUEST) undergraduate teacher education program prepares students to become New York State certified teachers of childhood education. This program is committed to the preparation of urban elementary school teachers who can deal effectively with the wide range of diverse learning needs found among the City’s students. Teacher candidates will take a specified sequence of education courses in addition to fulfilling the CUNY Common Core Requirement and the requirements of their liberal arts or sciences major. These programs include fieldwork in New York City Public schools. This is a 42-45 credit program in which students have an option to complete the course of study over four or six semesters.
