On-Demand CTLE Courses for New York Educators: Earn CTLE Hours with 80+ Courses from an NYSED‑Approved Provider

New York educators must complete 100 CTLE credit‑hours every five‑years in order to keep their certificates active during the registration cycle. Hours alone, however, won’t move student outcomes—quality matters. SOLVED Consulting, an NYSED‑approved CTLE sponsor, now hosts a growing catalog of more than 80 online workshops—several of them completely free—so you can satisfy state requirements and strengthen classroom practice at the same time. Let’s look at what’s available and how to make the most of it.

Discover 80+ CTLE Courses—Some at No Cost

SOLVED’s CTLE hub features asynchronous one-hour courses and live Zoom sessions that provide CTLE certificates. While the full catalog tops 80 offerings (and continuously grows), a rotating selection of free sessions lets you bank hours without tapping a PD budget. The platform remembers your place, so you can finish modules in 15‑minute bursts during a prep period or power through an entire series on a weekend.

Why Choose SOLVED’s CTLE Courses?

Navigating the Course Menu

Start with your goals. Want to strengthen your support for English Language and Multilingual Learners? Choose from ELL & ML tracks. Want tighter family partnerships? Try the Engaging Families series. SOLVED tags every course by topic and CTLE hours, making it easy to map a personal learning plan.

The Payoff: Turning CTLE Hours into Impact

Because every SOLVED course aligns with Part 80‑6 regulations, you’re always “audit‑ready.” Even better: courses prompt you to apply what you’ve learned right away—whether it’s trying a new strategy, adjusting your approach, or tracking outcomes. Those real-world actions can generate artifacts you may use later for APPR or tenure portfolios.

Who Benefits?

• Classroom teachers seeking cost‑effective PD that lands immediately in lesson plans.
  
  
• Instructional coaches wanting turnkey slide decks and practice videos for PLCs.
  
  
• Paraprofessionals & specialists—courses differentiate by role, so support staff can earn hours too.
  
  
• District PD directors hunting for a zero‑license‑fee option that still provides usage analytics.
