Teaching Center Equity Challenge
Good Afternoon,
The Cayuga-Onondaga Teacher Center is excited to announce that the NYSTC Equity Challenge is now open for registration to all administrators, teachers and teaching assistants. Each Monday for 10 weeks participants will receive an email with that week’s challenge flyer. There is a different topic each week covering Equity, Race, Bias, Privilege, Personal Identity, Being an Ally, and Micro aggressions. Participants will use the embedded links in the flyer to view videos, read articles and infographics, listen to a podcast and reflect. Then, participants will complete the corresponding badge in our CO Teacher Center badge list platform to earn CTLE credit. I’ve attached the Kick Off Flyer with the registration link and information on how to join our Badge list group. Week 1 will begin on Feb. 14th. Please email me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Brenda
Brenda Aull-Klaben

Career and Tech Ed Trial
Classroom Video On Demand: Career & Technical Education Collection. To that end, you'll find trial access below and the quote attached. I've included two quotes, however. One is for just Classroom Video On Demand: Career & Technical Education Collection.The other is for the combo of Classroom Video On Demand: Master AND CTE. There's a ton of content specifically for middle/high school students, so I wanted to share both options. Your trial access is also to the combo. If you'd like to view ONLY the Career & Tech Collection, just let me know and I'll remove the Master Collection from the trial.
