Teachers College recently held its sixth annual Academic Festival, a day of programming that brings together the Teachers College community in a homecoming-like fashion. The theme of this year’s events was “Where the Future Comes First,” an accurate title since the festivities featured Carmen Fariña, Chancellor of the New York City public schools as the Phyllis L. Kossoff lecturer. In her speech, entitled the First 100 Days, Fariña addressed the current state of learning and the future of education policy in New York City. A wide array of speakers had been gathered to present on a multitude of subjects, including some young adult and child friendly presentations. In addition, the Alumni Council hosted its Distinguished Alumni Luncheon, which honored five TC alumni, including James Gordon, EdD., David W. Johnson, Ed.D., professor at University of Southern California; Deborah Kenny, Ph.D., Head of Harlem Village Academies in NYC; Kate Parry, Ed.D., Hunter College with years of teaching in Uganda;  Eric Shyman, Ed.D., professor of special education at Molloy College. #
