Center of learning

AUBURN - Teacher Stephanie Roach had no idea what the Cayuga-Onondaga Teacher Center offered until a year and a half ago when she was looking for books to bring back to her classroom.

“I didn't realize the teacher center had books you can take out and the laminating machine,” the 32-year-old teacher at the Cayuga-Onondaga Board of Cooperative Educational Services said.

Roach, a building ambassador to the teacher center, attended the center's third annual open house Wednesday for teachers and their mentors as a way to introduce new teachers - teachers new to teaching as well as teachers new to the area - with the myriad resources the teacher center offers.
