The City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center is a unique institution, providing doctoral education in a consortial structure that draws faculty from the entire 18-unit CUNY system. While The Graduate Center has its own administration, campus, and students, it has few research laboratories housed on its campus; most doctoral students in the STEM disciplines carry out much of their day-to-day work at one of the CUNY senior college campuses spread throughout the New York City metropolitan area. The dispersed nature of doctoral training at the CUNY Graduate Center creates unusual challenges for the collection and sharing of information about teacher preparation in different disciplines and at different campuses. We are now in the process of developing a website that will provide a centralized source of information about existing teacher preparation programs for doctoral students at CUNY, with links that lead to additional information. The establishment of this web-based “Teaching for Learning (T4L)” site is a first step in facilitating the exchange of information about best practices in preparing future faculty in the STEM disciplines. The Graduate Center poster will provide information about this website and about the Graduate Center-wide teacher preparation program open to doctoral students in all disciplines, the Graduate Teaching Fellows Program.
