Embedded Files
The East Meadow Teacher Center (EMTC) has always focused on its mission of offering professional development that will impact student learning and achievement to teachers at all stages of their careers. The main offerings of the EMTC have included courses developed and offered by our own professional staff, professional circles, and book circles. The courses and circles must align with the State Learning Standards. Circle topics are chosen by a small group of teachers with a common interest. Both the courses and circles require a lesson plan or reflective journal upon completion. The EMTC also provides information to all teachers and staff received from the New York State Education Department as it becomes available. The EMTC also collaborates with local universities, BOCES and LINC to provide other professional development opportunities to teachers.
The East Meadow Teacher Center is thrilled to present the 2025-2026 book circle and course catalog. All offerings are designed by teachers, specifically for teachers. You can register for all courses through Frontline. Simply click on "Activity Catalog" on the left, then select "Catalog," and search for "East Meadow Teacher Center" in the program options. Please keep the following in mind:
1 Courses will proceed only if the minimum enrollment numbers are met (10 for courses and 8 for circles). You can assume a course is running, unless you hear from me. I will cancel courses one week before the start date if enrollment has not been met.
2 Feel free to enroll in as many courses as you wish, as they are provided at no cost. Ensure that you can attend ALL sessions, as there will be no make-up classes available. Confirm your availability before signing up.
3 If you need to withdraw from a class, please do so promptly so that other participants have the opportunity to enroll.
4 All courses and circles require a lesson plan or reflection journal (your instructor will let you know the expectations) upon completion for credit.
5 You will receive 1 in-service credit and CTLE hours for all courses and circles.
6 You can only take a course or a book circle one time. Please do not sign up if you have already taken the course in years past.
