Welcome Back!

On behalf of the Western NY Teacher Center Policy Board, welcome back to school!  The 2025-26 school year awaits with all its opportunities and challenges!  We hope the professional learning we provide will help you make the most of your opportunities and overcome the challenges you face. 

Over the summer, we hosted our Summer Conference ‘25: AI in Education..  Approximately 100 educators came together to learn about how they can use Artificial Intelligence to make their teaching more efficient and effective. We will continue to follow up with courses on AI throughout the year.  

Along with our courses on AI, we will be offering workshops, book studies, and shared learning communities that address other important topics that concern teachers and students today - engagement, motivation, SEL, relationship-building, cultural relevance, instructional strategies, and more.

Please see our complete catalog on Frontline or check out courses on our calendar. 

Make it a great school year for you and your students!

Looking forward,

Jon Erwin

Director, WNY Teacher Center
