The Lander Center at Touro’s GSE builds connections and capacity through partnerships and innovation.
Our Guiding Questions
- How can GSE increase coordination and coherence of academic programs, research, faculty & student development, and services to districts/schools?
- How do we connect district/school partners with professional development, grants, and GSE curricula and operations?
The Lander Center serves a variety of roles in our work with partners as well as internally for GSE. We may lead professional development programs; facilitate structured conversations among district or school teams; offer consultation with school and district administrators developing policies or programs; or guide topical explorations with Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Our technical assistance approach is one of collaborative inquiry.
The Lander Center at Touro’s GSE can assist internal and external stakeholders in a wide range of areas, including:
New York State CTLE (Continuing Teacher and Leadership Education) hours
The GSE Lander Center is a NYSED-approved CTLE provider. Holders of a professional certificate in the classroom teaching service or educational leadership service and holders of a Level III Teaching Assistant certificate who are practicing in a public school or BOCES in NYS need CTLE hours. Holders of initial or permanent certificates do NOT need CTLE hours. Relevant certificate holders need to complete 100 hours of CTLE during each five-year registration period. Learn more about NYSED CTLE requirements.
For more information regarding the Lander Center, please contact Dr. Velma L. Cobb, Center Director, at velma.cobb@touro.edu, 212 463-0400, extension 55386.
