About Us
We are delighted to announce that the Central Westchester Teacher Institute is the new umbrella organization for The Teacher Center of Central Westchester. It was established to stabilize the Teacher Center in the face of no state funding in 2010-2011 and to guarantee its fiscal and programming health in the near- and long-term future.
The Teacher Center of Central Westchester, a curriculum and professional development center for teachers, was founded in 1984. Throughout the years, it has provided a variety of staff development programs and services designed to meet the needs of a ten-district consortium and the Westchester-Putnam Catholic Schools.
The Teacher Center's principles are based on standards, theory, research and models of appropriate practice. The Center offers courses, institutes, special events, conference scholarships, competitive funding opportunities, as well as networking and classroom visitation opportunities for teachers.
Since 1984, it has been governed by a Policy Board of teachers, administrators, parents, higher education faculty and representatives from the business community.
