We do periodically update our general and registration information.  Take a few moments to read these sections carefully.

In-Service Information

In-service credit will be recommended at the rate of one (1) credit per fifteen (15) hours of instruction.  For teachers in Shelter Island, credit is a matter of district policy usually defined in the collective bargaining agreement.  Please review your district's in-service policy prior to registering for a course. Attendance records will be kept for all courses/workshops.  One (1) hour absence is permitted for each credit granted. A reasonable and practical amount of work will be required from each professional in the course.  Workshop requirements and makeup assignments will be set by the instructor and with the approval of the Center. A student will be evaluated and marked passing only if he/she has shown a credible amount of class participation and success in meeting the requirements of the course/workshop, which may include homework, reading projects, and/or project papers. Grading will be on a pass/fail basis unless the participant's school district requires a letter grade.  Individuals must inform the instructor at the first session of the course/workshop if this is the case. A certificate of completion, signed by the instructor and the director, will be issued when the course ends.  This certificate will indicate that the workshop standards are fully met.  Peconic Teacher Center shall keep a copy of the certificate as a permanent record and will forward one (1) or two (2) copies to each participant.  The pink copy should be filed by the participant with his/her district office for in-service credit.  The gold copy is for the participant's personal records.
