Q&A

Dinowitz calls for structural and financial support for teacher and principal training

New York City Council · Sep 22, 2026 · starts 1:37:00 · 31 sec

Dinowitz says schools need funding, coverage for teachers, and support for professional development. He says consortium schools should be compensated for hosting and training, and DOE should commit resources and structure.

Eric Dinowitz

It's work that, so far as I understand, principals and teachers...

Eric Dinowitz

Want to do, they want to be engaged with, they don't want to be left figuring it out for themselves.

Eric Dinowitz

And we have, as you've pointed to time and again, a wealth of knowledge in our city of how to start approaching this portrait of a graduate.

Eric Dinowitz

And I think you just kind of have to take a leap and do it and commit the resources and the time and the structure to doing it.

Eric Dinowitz

I know Councilmember Wong has more questions.

Eric Dinowitz

I want to turn it back to him if he's ready.
