From the iconic Montauk Lighthouse to the stunning Adirondack Mountains and the mighty Niagara Falls, the NYSTC Network serves as a dynamic, statewide organization dedicated to supporting educators. Our mission is clear: to offer high-quality professional learning that enhances teaching practices and improves student achievement. With 124 Teacher Centers and 7 regional networks, we are committed to addressing the evolving needs of New York’s diverse student population in an ever-changing global landscape.

To achieve our mission, we:

• Partner with the New York State Education Department (NYSED) to support their objectives and those of the NYS Board of Regents.

• Integrate professional learning into teachers' daily practice across all content areas.

• Support the professional growth of preservice, new, and experienced teachers, recognizing its importance to their work.

• Maximize opportunities for learning in the Next Generation Learning Standards and in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics).

• Foster communities of learners and promote teacher leadership.

• Uphold our commitment to students by supporting Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education (CRSE), providing resources and strategies to meet the needs of all learners.
