NYSUT Education and Learning Trust (ELT)
If you’re looking to earn your master’s degree or broaden your certification area, check out NYSUT’s Education & Learning Trust (ELT), which offers both online and site-based courses around the state. ELT offers low-cost, high quality courses for undergraduate, graduate and in-service credit to help participants meet certification requirements; obtain new certificate titles and extensions; and often earn a boost in their annual salaries. In most cases, members taking advantage of the discount on ELT courses save more than the NYSUT portion of their dues.
