Welcome to our new website,
This year marks a new beginning for IUME, as President Furman and Provost James lead a tremendous effort to re-ignite the intent and purpose of IUME to Teachers College and the greater education community. A national search is underway for a Director of IUME, and great attention is being made to support existing TC faculty and students who choose to engage in activities related to our mission.
Our founder and current director, emiterous, Dr. Edmund W. Gordon continues to serve as Senior Advisor for the Campaign for Educational Equity and currently leads a National Study Group on Supplementary Education that will be completing a policy position paper shortly with the help of TC Professor, Dr. Herve Varenne, and Dr. Michael Nettles of Education Testing Services. Dr. Gordon is also steadfastly finishing up his memoirs – a three-volume piece on his extraordinary 60+-year career in psychology, education, policy, and human service.
In addition, we’ve begun the extensive process of indexing and codifying over 30 years (nearly 200 file boxes) of material to include conference files, presentations, publications, course syllabus, seminars, videos, etc. Our staff is extremely excited about this archival project, and the general community can begin enjoying it as well by visiting www.pocketknowledge.com.
This year we will continue our
work with the community, responding to the various requests from
individuals and community groups for institutional support, guidance
and or partnership. We are pleased to be able to continue to support
this year community projects such as the People’s Institute’s Undoing Racism Series; and, Yes Inc.’s SAT curriculum development. Both of which are housed at our Teachers College extension, the Edmund W. Gordon Campus in central Harlem.
Again, thank you for taking the time to visit our new website and continue to check back periodically for updates.
Yours truly,
