| Organization: | Bronx Academy of Letters Newton Master Teacher, Math for America |
| Location: | Bronx Academy of Letters, 339 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY. | Google Map |
| Geographic Location: | New York Metro Area |
| Host Name: | Sendhil Revuluri, AB'94 (Physics and Mathematics) |
| Host Title: | Math Department Co-Chair |
| About the Organiztion: | Bronx Academy of Letters is a relatively new, small public secondary school (currently grades 6 and 9-12). The mission is to prepare students for college with an emphasis on writing across the curriculum and for publications and in other extracurricular activities. Urban education, especially in mathematics, is a crucial challenge for our country to ensure opportunity and access to higher education for often underserved students. Since it is often hard to experience the real work of education while on an academic-year schedule, this externship is an opportunity to quickly get a broader sense of what the work of a teacher is like. The University now offers more opportunities to continue exploring the field during the term, including the Neighborhood Schools Program and UTEP. Hopefully, the questions raised during this opportunity are ones which the extern can continue to pursue later. |
| About the Host: | Sendhil Revuluri is a member of the founding faculty at the Bronx Academy of Letters. This is his fifth year teaching mathematics, and he now co-chairs the department. For the last four years, he also served as program chair and data coordinator, supporting the organization and administration of the school through work outside the classroom. Before joining Bronx Letters as a New York City Teaching Fellow, he worked at UBS in Chicago and Stamford, Connecticut, where he was an executive director of equity trading. Currently he is involved in teaching mathematics (grades 10 & 11), co-chairing the mathematics department, and additional work in collaborations supporting teacher education and preparation. His expertise is in Mathematics education, secondary education, urban education, school reform, using data for instruction and school change. |
