Registration and Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) for Certificate Holders

• Registration: If a certificate holder holds a Permanent or Professional classroom teacher, school leader or a Level III Teaching Assistant certificate, and is practicing in a school district, Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) or nonpublic school located in New York State, they are required to access their TEACH account and “Register.”

Individuals that are issued their first Professional or Teaching Assistant Level III certification starting 7/1/2016 and thereafter with an appropriate certificate requiring registration will be automatically registered for their initial five-year registration period. The registration period will begin when the certification is issued until the last day of the month prior to their birth month in the 5th year.
