Despite the fact that thenumber of school killings has dropped in the last eight years, concern about school violence remains high. Teachers College is also concerned about these issues. While the answers to the problem of violence in the schools may not come easily, researchers at the College are continuing to investigate the problems, the causes and the solutions. Through conferences and publications, our faculty and institutes provide a forum for discussion about these issues with experts who have done the research. In reaching out to schools and communities with programs that can help forge a solution to the problem of school violence, ICCCR is putting research to work and providing new areas of study that may enhance the effectiveness of these solutions. In these and other ways, Teachers College continues in its mission to prepare future leaders in education to meet the needs of the new century's teachers, students and administrators.
