NYS Teacher Centers
From the iconic Montauk Lighthouse to the stunning Adirondack Mountains and the mighty Niagara Falls, the NYSTC Network serves as a dynamic, statewide organization dedicated to supporting educators. Our mission is clear: to offer high-quality professional learning that enhances teaching practices and improves student achievement. With 124 Teacher Centers and 7 regional networks, we are committed to addressing the evolving needs of New York’s diverse student population in an ever-changing global landscape.
To achieve our mission, we:
Partner with the New York State Education Department (NYSED) to support their objectives and those of the NYS Board of Regents.
Integrate professional learning into teachers' daily practice across all content areas.
Support the professional growth of preservice, new, and experienced teachers, recognizing its importance to their work.
Maximize opportunities for learning in the Next Generation Learning Standards and in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics).
Foster communities of learners and promote teacher leadership.
Uphold our commitment to students by supporting Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education (CRSE), providing resources and strategies to meet the needs of all learners.
