Earn four hours of CTLE credit with the UFT Teacher Center. This session invites educators to consider how learning targets and success criteria can guide their instructional decisions.

Using learning targets and success criteria as a lens, participants will reflect on what student work can reveal about students’ understanding.

Brooklyn paraprofessionals are invited to an online meeting about certification. This session will provide important information about certification requirements and offer an opportunity to ask questions regarding recent changes to the certification process.
