Embark on your graduate degree and CTLE hours with ELT

ELT NEWSLETTER October 2023 

Finish your master’s degree?  

NYSUT can help

Ready to earn your Master of Education Degree, but don't know where to start? 

NYSUT's Education & Learning Trust, in partnership with SUNY Empire State College, offers members a path to earn up to 9 graduate credits toward their online Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction. Once you complete your 9 credits, you can matriculate into Empire State College using our partnership benefit program. 

In one course, Creating Safer Schools you'll learn about everything related to challenging behaviors – from truancy and bullying to substance abuse and school shootings. The course examines the root causes for these dangers and tries to educate teachers and other school personnel on ways they can help insulate their students and make them less vulnerable.  

All members enjoy a steep discount for ELT courses. 

Learn to cultivate calm classrooms

And earn CTLE hours

Violence, anger, and disruptive behaviors negatively impact the well-being of staff and students. Here, we have identified three online seminars to help teachers create a more productive classroom environment. Courses are offered virtually, and each is worth 3-5 CTLE hours. All courses are discounted for NYSUT members.

Local learning opportunities

Right in your own community

Educators can earn CTLE hours at six regional learning centers. These classes are organized by local union leaders and offered free of charge to NYSUT members. Find virtual and online courses at your regional learning center. Local leaders can also request specific seminars from our ELT catalogue be presented to their units by contacting elt@nysut.org. All seminars are CTLE approved.
