IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NYSED TEACH REGISTRATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NYSED TEACH REGISTRATION
Hi all. Some of you may be approaching your 5-year re-registration period for the NYSED TEACH system. I have attached a document which explains what should happen as you approach your deadline to re-register. Basically, you will receive an email from NYSED to remind you to re-register and attest to your 100 CTLE hours. However, you should confirm that TEACH has your current email as they will send it to the email they have on file. Please refer to the document for complete details. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at cherman@onboces.org.
