Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Learning Forward: National professional association focused on educator PD and the Standards for Professional Learning. Targets the same K-12 educator audience as RTCI but at a national advocacy and network level rather than local course delivery.
• ASCD: National educator association providing PD, publications, and certification programs (e.g., PD programs for educators and leaders). Overlaps with RTCI on educator PD and leadership development but operates nationally with a much broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• EdTechTeacher: PD provider specializing in technology integration training for K-12 educators, offering workshops, online courses, and coaching. Closely aligned with RTCI's technology-integration and digital-tools course catalog.
• Rockland BOCES: The regional Board of Cooperative Educational Services serving Rockland County schools with PD, CTLE, and instructional services. Directly comparable cooperative PD model and the same Rockland County market where RTCI already partners for Social Work CEUs.
• Westchester Teacher Center Institute (WTC Institute): Sister division of RTCI extending the same teacher-center consortium model into Westchester County. Operates an identical higher-ed-partnered PD and CTLE catalog against a similar educator persona.

Others

• NYSUT (New York State United Teachers): Statewide teachers union that offers PD, certification support, and member learning opportunities across New York, including for CTLE. Serves the same NY educator population with PD offerings that can substitute for RTCI courses.

Regional players

• Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES: Neighboring NY regional educational service agency providing PD, CTLE, and instructional support to component districts. Comparable service mix and BOCES funding model, serving an adjacent Hudson Valley geography.
• Orange-Ulster BOCES: Another NY BOCES serving school districts in the lower Hudson Valley with PD, cooperative purchasing, and CTLE offerings. Mirrors RTCI's cooperative PD and grant-funded service model in a bordering region.
