“This cutting-edge program is consistent with the initiatives of the Board of Regents and of the Gates Foundation. We need to be sure that teaching and learning has a greater focus in the areas of math, science and technology and that teachers are highly prepared to work with students in these critical areas as we look to a global economy and high stakes professions.”

Chancellor Emeritus Robert Bennett, New York State Board of Regents
