Bravo to @NYSUT who continues to elevate the need to strengthen and rebuild NY’s educator workforce. @GCRTC & @NYSTC1 support this shared goal through robust teacher mentoring and our statewide Special Educator Extension Series, expanding access to SWD certification extensions.
With the news of @GovKathyHochul’s plan to roll out proposals to strengthen NY’s teacher workforce, we’ve released a new report offering practical, ready-to-implement solutions to help address issues in teacher certification and recruitment. Learn more: nysut.cc/teacherprep
