Day 20 - Brooklyn Training School

Elizabeth Farrell proposed the establishment of a three month graduate course at the Brooklyn Training School for teachers of “ungraded” classes. The idea was adopted by the Board of Education in 1912. The course of study was extended to three years and the curriculum was differentiated for teachers of elementary, middle, and upper grades. Eventually, Elizabeth recommended that programs similar to the one at Brooklyn Training School be established in other parts of New York City.
