Make your school safer for you and your students

ELT NEWSLETTER November 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.

One course, Creating Safer Schools covers everything related to student safety – 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.

Make your school safer for you and your students

And earn CTLE hours

To keep students safe, school districts should ensure that they provide training for all school staff – not just small groups of administrative, special education, and security personnel – so that students’ needs are met at all levels of their school experience. ELT provides online training on a variety of school safety-related topics, including these two seminars. Each seminar is worth 5 CTLE hours, and members receive a huge discount.

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.
