Teacher Center · Professional learningWorkshops and trainings: required and optional
Every workshop a New York teacher needs: once for the certificate, every five years to keep it, every year at work, and optional workshops to grow, including technology and AI.
General information, not legal advice. NYSED, your TEACH account and your district decide what applies to you. Before you act, check TEACH, ask your district human resources office or your building administrator, or contact NYSED's Office of Teaching Initiatives. Facts on this page were checked Nov 11, 2026 from the official sources listed at the bottom.
Four kinds of workshops
Deadline: every educator and school staff member who is a mandated reporter must complete the Second Updated Child Abuse Identification workshop by November 17, 2026.
A. One-time workshops required for New York certification
NYSED lists three workshops for everyone and one more for some special education certificates. These are certification workshops, not CTLE; ask the provider if a workshop also gives CTLE hours.
| Workshop | Who needs it | When / how often | Hours | Who may provide it | Official source | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Child Abuse Identification and Reporting (mandated reporter workshop) | Everyone who applies for an educator certificate, and every educator and school staff member who is a mandated reporter. Applications sent on or after Oct 1, 2025 need the second updated workshop. | One time, plus the Second Update by November 17, 2026. If you took it between Nov 1, 2022 and Aug 31, 2025, you may take a short addendum with the same provider. | About 2 hours (the addendum is about 15 minutes) | A NYSED-approved provider.

A NY college recommendation for these titles with a degree date of Sept 1, 2008 or later already includes it. | NYSED does not list hours on its page; ask the provider | A NYSED-approved provider only. NYSED provider page | [9] [10] [1] | Checked Nov 11, 2026 |
| Fingerprinting (criminal history background check, not a workshop) | All applicants for certification and everyone seeking a job in a school setting. | Before certification or school employment; ask HR if yours is already on file | One appointment | NYSED Office of School Personnel Review and Accountability (OSPRA) process | [11] | Checked Nov 11, 2026 |
🔎 Find an approved provider
Use only NYSED's own lists: child abuse · SAVE · DASA · autism. NYSED does not list fees; ask the provider. NYSED's list says OCFS offers the child abuse workshop for free.
📨 How completion is reported
The provider reports your completion to NYSED electronically (for SAVE, DASA and autism, within 21 days). NYSED's Office of Teaching Initiatives will not accept paper certificates of completion. Give the provider your name, date of birth and other details exactly as they appear in TEACH.

B. Required to keep your certificate
| Training | Who | When / how often | Hours | Who gives it | Official source | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Registration in TEACH | Holders of Professional, Permanent or Level III / Professional TA certificates who practice in a NY public school, BOCES or nonpublic school (see our CTLE pages for the full chart) | Every 5 years | Not hours | You, in your TEACH account | [12] | Checked Nov 11, 2026 |

C. Trainings school staff take every year or on a set cycle
Your district decides how and when these are given; ask your building administrator or human resources. These are usually given by your employer at work. They are not CTLE unless the district is a CTLE sponsor and says so.

Ask your district
Many districts also give these trainings, by job or by local policy. We could not confirm one statewide rule for each, so we list them without numbers. Ask your building administrator or human resources whether they apply to you, and how often.
- Training to give emergency medicines (for example epinephrine or glucagon) if you volunteer for it
- Opioid overdose response training, if your school offers it
- De-escalation and behavior support training for staff in some programs
- Cybersecurity and phishing awareness
- Title IX training
- Training for your district's own systems (grading, attendance, learning platform)
- Mentoring program steps for new teachers
- Training for lead evaluators and observers
D. Optional workshops to grow
Real examples, each checked on the provider's own site on Nov 11, 2026. Cost is shown only as the site states it. We say a workshop gives CTLE only when the provider says so itself or NYSED says so; always confirm the sponsor on NYSED's list of approved CTLE sponsors and keep the certificate.
