teaching in new york

A message from Richard P. Mills, Commissioner of Education

New York State's public school districts serve more than 3 million students in over 4000 schools throughout a vast and diverse physical and cultural landscape. From cities as large and exciting as Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Yonkers and the "Big Apple" itself, New York City, to rural areas as beautiful and varied as the Adirondacks, the Catskills, and the Southern and Western Tiers, New York State is a great place to live and work. Our schools offer teachers outstanding opportunities for professional growth and excellent compensation. If you are ready to commit your skills and talents to teaching our future citizens and leaders, I invite you to explore a career in teaching in New York State.
