Manage challenging behavior

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, Mindfulness in Today’s Classroom, examines the causes of toxic classrooms and more importantly teaches strategies for addressing stress in your classroom. Teachers will be able to explore how their personal and professional qualities impact the students in their room. 

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.
