The Peconic Teacher Center and all 120 NYS Teacher Centers exist pursuant to Education Law 316. The Center is governed by a policy board composed of practicing teachers elected by the bargaining agency presidents of the constituency served by the Center and other groups with a stake in the education of our children, such as Administrators, Board Members, Parents, Community Members, Higher Education and Business Industry. The Peconic Teacher Center publishes Centerline to update its cohort on educational issues and professional development opportunities. The PTC Catalog is available twice a year for members to look for courses to expand their professional expertise.
