Despite the fact that thenumber of school killings has dropped in the

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.
