The Celebration of Teaching & Learning is a New York State Education Department (NYSED) Co-Ser aidable professional development opportunity presented in partnership with BOCES of Eastern Suffolk, Western Suffolk, Nassau, Southern Westchester, Putnam/Northern Westchester and Rockland Counties.

To qualify for Co-Ser aid, districts/schools must register attendees through their local BOCES contact. Registrations purchased in this way entitle the district to partial reimbursement based on need, and as a NYSED CoSer-approved event, Celebration registration qualifies for this aid. Please ask your local BOCES representative for more information if necessary.

(Please note: Educators/schools/districts from other New York State BOCES regions may be able to register for this event through a BOCES cross-contract process. Please contact any of the BOCES contacts provided to explore this option.) We encourage attendance by teachers, coaches, curriculum and department heads, media specialists and administrators.

To register through BOCES, please scroll down to view and connect with your local BOCES registration contact listed below.
