Non-Tenured Teachers' Mandated Staff Development

The Yonkers Public School District requires that all non-tenured teachers receive mandated professional development as follows:

1st year teachers - 24 hours 1 in-service credit = 6 hours

2nd year teachers - 20 hours 2 in-service credits = 12 hours

3rd year teachers - 12 hours 3 in-service credits/graduate credits = 18 hours

No more than half of these hours shall be required within the school year beyond the school day.

The Yonkers School District has agreed that the following Teacher Center courses are approved toward the non-tenured teachers' staff development requirement. Teachers will receive course credit and hours toward the non-tenured mandated hours only upon completion of the course.
