InterCounty Teacher Resource Center offers its members free and high-quality professional development. Face to face, online, and hybrid classes are available, depending on course content, district policy, and needs of the participants. 

On-site professional development: InterCounty will find instructors with expertise and craft quality learning experiences at your school site around specific instructional needs of teachers, administrators, or paraprofessionals. Short-term workshops, multiple-session courses, and year-long ongoing professional development are available at no cost. These learning experiences can be initiated by district administration, unions, or groups of educators. To request professional development, contact Carol Weintraub, InterCounty Teacher Resource Center Director at intercountytc@gmail.com.

We know that teachers learn best from teachers, so we encourage job-embedded professional development and learning communities facilitated by talented teachers within the district when possible. If you are interested in participating in a learning community within your district, InterCounty can help you structure and facilitate one. Contact Carol Weintraub, InterCounty Teacher Resource Center Director for details at intercountytc@gmail.com.

Off-site professional development: InterCounty offers courses at our Central Islip location after school hours, or on Saturdays. Any educator in a member district or school may register for a course. See our calendar for course dates and registration information.
