Monroe One Teacher Center
What We Believe
We believe that all students can achieve at high levels when instruction is engaging, important and relevant. We know that in order to build the capacity of our educators, we must give them opportunities for leadership. We help develop leadership skills in our educators by providing them with the training and resources they need to lead study groups and workshops that focus on improving student and staff knowledge and skills.
Who We Are
We provide professional learning and resources for instructional staff at Monroe One. Our Policy Board is comprised of 17 members and a Director. We receive a grant from the NYS Education Department that we utilize to meet the professional learning needs of our staff. We offer multiple formats for learning, including, study groups (PLCs), workshops, and new this year- microcredentialing. We're proud to support our dedicated teachers, related service providers, associate teachers, paraeducators and administrators.
