Greater Rochester Teacher Center Network

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 125 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:

• Collaborate with New York State Education Department (NYSED) to facilitate meeting their goals and those of the NYS Board of Regents

• 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 Education (CRE) and provide strategies and resources to meet the needs of diverse learners
