NYS Community Schools Technical Assistance Center (TAC)

The New York State Community Schools Technical Assistance Centers (TAC) for New York City and the Eastern Region provide a wide range of professional development (PD) and technical assistance (TA) to all existing Community School Programs and aspiring schools.

The mission of the CS-TACs is to deliver quality guidance and training to the Community Schools in New York City and the Eastern Region. In exemplifying the mission of Fordham University’s Graduate School of Education, the TACs serve Community School leaders, teachers, and their respective stakeholders by ensuring access to pertinent resources and providing quality professional development opportunities.

Funded by the New York State Education Department, the CS-TACs work collaboratively with all stakeholders engaged in the Community Schools movement to ensure that local capacity is built and stronger community relationships are formed. To this end, all schools receive ongoing access to research-based best practices related to the implementation of the Community Schools strategy.

We address critical functions including:

• Needs and Assets Assessments

• Professional Development Workshops in a variety of areas and domains

• Help Desk assistance via our dedicated CS-TAC Hotline (212-636-6100) and email [email protected]

The CS-TACs benefit from support provided by Fordham’s Graduate School of Education faculty, staff, coaches, and consultants.
