The New York State Education Department requires Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) for all holders of professional classroom teaching, educational leadership, or Level III teaching assistant certificates. Certificate holders must complete 100 hours of CTLE training within a five-year period. Details on exact rules and how to track your hours can be found on the NYSED website.

Mountain Lake PBS is a NYSED-approved provider for CTLE requirements, proudly offering the programs on this page as opportunities for educators to enhance their teaching practice while accruing credit hours.
