PTC publishes its catalogue of programs and activities three times a year.  It is responsive to the needs of teachers and administrators from each of its districts.

Programs can be initiated by:
  • Teachers
  • Teacher Unions
  • Teacher-directed professional development teams
  • School district administrators working with teacher unions or teacher teams
  • Cooperating Institutions
Programs can be:
  • Opportunities to acquire in-depth knowledge, effective teaching strategies and  resources, and activities designed to support the efforts of teachers responding to state and local initiatives.
  • System activities supporting the work of districts and schools engaged in redesign for effectiveness.
  • Collaborations and partnerships where PTC is the catalyst for linking such partners as school districts, BOCES, institutions of higher education, and community organizations for the improvement of education.
  • Opportunities for teachers to design, implement, and assess replicable, innovative activities aimed at improving learning and teaching to support NYS standards and assessments and to establish a body of instructional and professional development resources available for dissemination to colleagues through the PTC Resource collection.
