Take technology training and earn CTLE hours

ELT NEWSLETTER September 2023 

The use of technology to support student success has become de rigueur. When the pandemic struck, most school districts adopted an online learning approach that put technology front and center of their educational experiences. Today, we know technology must be safe, flexible and student-centered. Here are three ELT seminars designed to help teachers and students harness technology responsibly and effectively. These online seminars are offered asynchronously, and each is worth 5 CTLE hours. 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.
