Tioga County Teacher Center

Tioga County Teacher Center Programs

Conference Passport Application:  Teachers may complete a conference passport application to attend a conference outside of the district/BOCES where they are employed. The Tioga County Teacher Center considers each application and approves it based on alignment with the work plan matrix and quality of the PL.  Funding is limited and the individual teacher must have district approval before completing a Conference Passport Application.

Book Studies:  The Tioga County Teacher Center sponsors groups of teachers to complete a book study. Groups may propose to meet for up to 10 hours.  Groups can meet for less than 10 hours if they wish. The Tioga County Teacher Center will provide the books and a stipend of $40/hour to participants for each meeting and will receive CTLE hours for participation. The facilitator of each book study will receive an extra hour of stipend for time spent organizing and running the book study. We are currently offering 3 online book studies:  Emotional Poverty I, Emotional Poverty II, and The Writing Revolution

Workshop Facilitators:  Teacher Centers in New York State provide Professional Learning opportunities for teachers by teachers.  Teachers who plan and lead approved workshops through the Teacher Center will receive a stipend of $60/hour + 2 hours of preparation.  Each workshop presenter must have a copy of their curriculum vitae on file with the Teacher Center and must maintain sign-in sheets of each approved workshop. These workshops may be synchronous or asynchronous.  

Workshop Attendees:  The Teacher Center will offer programs and workshops outside of a teachers’ contractual work day where teachers who attend receive a stipend for their time. The stipend is $40/ hour and is paid for the length of the approved workshop. These workshops may be synchronous or asynchronous.
