Courses
Overview
Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. To enroll, complete the registration form, and mail to the Teacher Center enclosing a separate check for each workshop made payable to the Blind Brook-Rye Union Free School District. Your check will not be processed until after the first session has begun. Approximately one week prior to each workshop a confirmation letter will be mailed to participants including directions to the workshop location.
Refunds and Cancellations
The Teacher Center reserves the right to cancel any workshop due to insufficient enrollment, up to three (3) business days prior to the beginning of a course. Registrants will receive a full refund if withdrawing from a course up to three (3) business days prior to the start of the course. Checks will be returned to home addresses. If a registrant withdraws less than three (3) days prior to a course, a $40 withdrawal fee will be assessed.
Emergency Closings
If schools are closed for the day or cancelled during the day, consider the workshop postponed. If unsure, call the Teacher Center at 914-251-6876. Report to the next scheduled class at which time make-up sessions will be discussed.
Course Requirements
The granting of in-service credit for salary purposes is a matter of local district policy and ontractual agreements. It is the participant’s responsibility to obtain prior approval for credit from their district before registering for a course or workshop. To receive credit, participants must attend all contact hours for all sessions and must sign-in at each session. Absences are not permitted. Please note that the listed course times do not include “break time.” Breaks can be determined by the instructor and the group, however, additional time must be added to complete the course requirements. During the last session a workshop evaluation form will be distributed for completion. When course requirements are fulfilled, a certificate of completion will be mailed directly to participants who must forward them to their personnel office for appropriate salary credit.
