NYS Teacher Centers
From the Lighthouse in Montauk to the Adirondack Mountains to Niagara Falls, the NYSTC Network is a vibrant collaborative public organization that spans New York State. Our mission is simple: provide high-quality professional learning opportunities for educators to enrich their teaching practice and improve student learning and achievement. With our 124 Teacher Centers and 7 regional networks, the NYSTC Network is continuously working towards meeting the current needs of our diverse student population living in an ever-changing global environment.
To accomplish our goals, we:

Embed professional learning into the daily practice of teaching for all content areas
Recognize that professional growth is integral to teachers’ work by providing professional learning for preservice teachers, new teachers, and veteran teachers
Maximize professional learning in the Next Generation Learning Standards and Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics (STEAM)
Promote communities of learners and encourage teacher leadership roles
Uphold our promise to students by supporting Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education (CRSE) and provide strategies and resources to meet the needs of ALL learners
