All new teachers and school-related professionals applying for New York State certification must take this state mandated workshop. 

Mark your calendar for the UFT's annual Lobby Day in Albany on Monday, March 16, 2026. Registrants will board early morning buses leaving from each borough to speak with state representatives about issues important to UFT members, such as fixing Tier 6 and increasing funding for New York City public schools. UFT members who contribute to COPE, the union's political action fund, are invited to come. Registration will be available at a later date. 

Occupational and physical therapists are invited to drop in for digital "office hours" with Thomas Ayrovainen, the OT/PT chapter leader, and other chapter representatives. This is a chance to raise concerns and get answers to your questions.
