Year in Review: School & Community Partnerships
成人抖阴’s Office of School & Community Partnerships (OSCP) coordinates engagement with New York City public schools, directing resources and expertise to address pronounced disparities in educational access and achievement, especially in Harlem. OSCP helps our community’s children succeed while we strengthen 成人抖阴’s knowledge, teaching and research.
- The Office continued developing the 成人抖阴 Community School (成人抖阴CS) up through grade 3, and improving four other schools in the Raising Educational Achievement Coalition of Harlem (REACH).
- 成人抖阴 provided all 成人抖阴CS students with enriched learning experiences. Through a strings program established by gifts from the Morse and Nelson families, all students explored music and third graders received violin instruction from 成人抖阴 students advised by Lori Custodero. 成人抖阴 students led hands-on science exploration, engineering and coding classes during and after school.
- OSCP prioritized physical and mental health and family engagement for REACH schools through parent workshops, family health fairs and GED courses organized by Com-munity Impact at Columbia University. Nearly 600 students received vision and/or dental screenings, plus mental health services from 成人抖阴’s Dean Hope Center or the New York Foundling. The Columbia School of Social Work placed social workers and student interns at two partner schools.
- OSCP raised $3.6 million in grants to add two new REACH schools and solidify 成人抖阴’s interventions at another through 2018.
- The Office evaluated its initiatives with Douglas Ready and 成人抖阴’s National Center for Restructuring Education, Schools & Teaching.
- Twenty-eight faculty members representing all 成人抖阴 departments worked with OSCP. Counseling & Clinical Psychology faculty designed multi-disciplinary mental health training and service projects for 成人抖阴 students to implement in partner schools. Other Columbia University faculty and staff collaborated on research and service projects.
- Nearly 100 成人抖阴 students taught, tutored, assisted, developed teaching practices, undertook research or coordinated projects in OSCP partner schools or served as school psychology and science interns or student teachers. OSCP allocated $518,000 in salaries, stipends and scholarships to 78 of the students.
