Enrollment
Program Diversity
A diverse teacher workforce benefits all students, particularly students of color. While there has been real progress over the last twenty years in diversifying the teacher workforce,1 these gains have not kept pace with a rapidly diversifying student population. To accelerate progress, strategic recruitment efforts by teacher preparation programs are essential.
- Teacher prep enrollment: 54 percent candidates of color2
- New York teacher workforce: 20 percent teachers of color3
- Local demographics: 53 percent persons of color4
CUNY - Hunter College is found to be 33.4 percentage points more diverse than the New York teacher workforce and 0.5 percentage points more diverse than the local population.

Elementary Mathematics
Addressing learning loss and building the math skills of young students demands urgent action by all sectors of the education community, including educator preparation programs. In order for elementary schools to deliver equitable and effective instruction in mathematics to all students, they need their teachers to have acquired the mathematics content and pedagogical knowledge specified in commonly accepted mathematics education standards.
This program was not included in the 2022 Elementary Mathematics analysis.
N/A
Building Content Knowledge
To be successful, elementary teachers need content knowledge in science and social studies, both to build their students' understanding of the world and their critical thinking skills, and also to support students in becoming strong readers. Becoming a strong reader requires cumulative exposure to content knowledge, cutting across multiple domains and disciplines. The courses aspiring teachers take gives them strong background knowledge in these subjects, and in turn, they give this knowledge to students.
This program was not included in the 2023 Building Content Knowledge analysis.
