Are you thinking about a career in education?

Join us for our annual Teacher Education Day. The BMCC Teacher Education Department presents our 9th Annual BMCC Teacher Education Day Conference. The event brings together education professionals from NYC and beyond and is an opportunity each year for our students to discover the opportunities available to them in the field of education, from early childhood to elementary to secondary, including special education, bilingual education, school health education, and arts education.

Our conference theme this year will explore the importance of bringing creativity and playfulness into our teaching and learning how to use technology creatively.

  • Discover opportunities available in the field of education, from early childhood to secondary.
  • Join us for breakout sessions where you will engage in interactive workshops and discussions with teachers and educational leaders.
  • Explore opportunities for men in the field of education.
