EDUCATIONAL PATHWAYS FOR PARAPROFESSIONALS
The UFT Teacher Center and the NYSUT Education and Learning Trust have collaborated with Empire State College’s Harry Van Arsdale, Jr., Center for Labor Studies of the State University of New York (SUNY) to offer a unique, fully accredited program of study.
Designed specifically with paraprofessionals in mind, these courses, when satisfactorily completed, may be credited toward a degree at a college or university; used to meet state regulations; or simply taken to upgrade classroom skills.
I hope you will come and join us – and continue to take advantage of this special opportunity!
