Teachers College at Columbia is one of the most highly regarded institutions of education in the world—in the U.S. News & World Report, it has topped the “Best Education School” rankings—yet it is surrounded by some of the toughest public schools in the nation. In the current education climate, with the rise of programs like Teach For America and intensifying criticisms of educational schools, TC is facing increasing pressures to prove its relevance and its worth, professors say. In this context, many educations experts, inside and outside TC, are questioning whether the school’s leadership is doing enough to improve public education in Harlem.
