We would like to applaud the September 2019 selection of PCS Geometry teacher Steve O'Dea as a New York State Master Teacher. The program highlights oustanding STEM Teacher-Leaders who, among other criteria and characteristics, are known for: 

• providing innovative STEM education to students
• a strong commitment to professional growth
• sharing their successful practices with colleagues in their districts, and beyond

The announcement press release is available online. With the addition of the latest group of teachers to be recognized, ranks of the network of NYS Master Teachers number more than 1200 statewide.

The next round of applications is now open and the application deadline is February 22, 2020.
