Welcome to the
West Seneca Teachers' Center!
Mission Statement:

These opportunities enhance instructional behavior benefitting and improving performance by students and staff.

Introduction:
In 1984 New York State United Teachers successfully lobbied the New York State Legislature to pass Section 316 of the Education Law. For the first time a NYS law established a governing structure that gave teachers control over an important aspect of their professional lives, their professional development. In 1987, the West Seneca Teachers' Center was established primarily under the auspices of the West Seneca Teachers' Association. Today, over 133 teachers centers provide ongoing, consistently high-quality, cost-effective professional development for thousands of educators in our state.
