Title: NYSMTP Info Session/ Member Help Desk Session
Date: Wednesday June 26, 2024
Time: 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Presenter: NYSMTP Central Office Staff
Description of Session:
For potential Applicants:
The NYS Master Teacher Program (NYSMTP) invites interested applicants to an info session to talk with NYSMTP staff. NYSMTP staff will review the selection process and discuss what makes a strong application.
We strongly encouraged attendees to review program information, eligibility requirements, the application process on the program website before attending a session.
Attending an Info Session is not a required part of the application process. Attendance will not factor into the NYS Master Teacher Program selection process.
For Current Members:
The Central Office has new drop-in help desk sessions! Sessions will be held twice a month. Attend any session you like, no registration required. We will show you the steps to check your own paperwork, how to submit a log, and other questions you might have to help you complete all of the steps required as part of program. Please come prepared to share your screen, so we walk you through any necessary steps. Check the calendar for dates and times!
