Teachers Teaching Teachers Professional Development Series

Teachers often wear more than one hat- they’re parents, florists, master gardeners, farmers, welders and so much more! Are you an expert in your area and hoping to share your knowledge with your colleagues? Our Teachers Teaching Teachers Professional Development Series will allow you to do just that. NYAAE will sponsor teacher-led programs to offer CTLE credit in areas that will allow teachers to further enhance their classroom instruction for the betterment of their students. Development can occur on a school break, over a weekend, during the summer, or even virtually! Do you have a great lesson that you would be willing share with your peers? Consider applying below!
