The mission of the Mid-Hudson Teacher Center [MHTC] is to enhance teaching as a profession and provide teachers with state of the art strategies and technologies in order to foster student achievement. The Mid-Hudson Teacher Center responds to the needs and interests of over 10,000 educators, along with parents and community members in Dutchess, Ulster and Orange counties. The Teacher Center endorses reflective practice, continuous inquiry, and collegiality. The center celebrates the talents of teachers, and encourages the sharing of those talents with others. In these challenging times, MHTC offers educators a variety of learning and delivery options that reflect current societal demands. The teacher center is a place where the educator's voice is heard and a community of learners is built!
MHTC is housed at SUNY New Paltz, in Old Main Building Room 223
