Learn to address the needs of ELL students 

And earn CTLE hours

New York State is home to an increasing number of English language learners.

Here, we have identified four online seminars to help you meet the needs of ELL students. Seminars are offered asynchronously, and fulfill both CTLE hours and C.R. Part 154 language acquisition requirements.

All courses are discounted for NYSUT members.

Educators can also earn CTLE hours at six regional learning centers. These classes are organized by local union leaders and offered free of charge to NYSUT members.

Earn your certification as a School Counselor  – NYSUT can help

School counselors are in high demand across New York state. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates a 10 percent growth in school counseling jobs between now and 2031, faster than average for occupations.

The reasons are manifold. Mental health issues among youth are on the rise. School counselors also improve academic outcomes by helping improve attendance, increasing test scores, enhancing graduation rates, and smoothing out transitions for immigrant and refugee students.

NYSUT’s Education & Learning Trust has partnered with multiple institutions across New York including College of Saint Rose, Adelphi, Russell Sage College, and Empire State College to earn 60 required credits for certification as a School Counselor. NYSUT members are eligible for a 40 percent discount on tuition for qualifying courses.
