OUR MISSION

CITY at work (Community Initiatives to Teach Youth) believes that it takes a city, not just a village, to raise a child.

CITY at work partners with NYC schools to provide science, social studies, technology, and multimedia curriculum and professional development. We work with school administrators and teachers to develop specific and sustainable curriculum that follows NYS and NYC learning standards and provides professionalization in three primary fields: Science, Social Studies, and Multimedia & Technology.

In year-long partnerships or customized packages, CITY at work helps schools to develop comprehensive curricula, including pacing calendars, digitized subject curriculum, teaching websites, and hands-on, inquiry-based classroom activities that are published for the school and thus act as a renewable school resource, year after year.

WHAT WE OFFER


OUR PROGRAMS

Each NYC School is Unique

Just as each NYC school and professional team of educators is unique, every CITY at work partnership is specifically designed to harness a school's strengths, while improving their curricula, assessment tools, and 21st century classroom technology. Our programs enable teachers to incorporate 21st education tools into their classrooms, including websites, photography, video, online Webquests, and Smartboards to improve their classroom instruction for differentiated learners.

Sustainable Curricula

Sustainablity is a movement, particulary in education. We work to provide curricula and online resources to schools that is renewable and stays with the school for turn key learning. Empowered teachers in turn create empowered student learners. We work to ensure that students of all ages develop the necessary skills in math, science, technology, and critical thinking that will empower them to pursue 21st century higher education and professional careers.
