Professionally certified teachers and Level III certified paraprofessionals are required to collect a total of 100 professional development hours, called Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) hours, by a state-approved provider such as the UFT Teacher Center.
Members now have to keep their own records. Members should put documentation of workshops they have attended in a CTLE folder. See the UFT's main certification page for more information about CTLE requirements and the latest updates.
