Learning is our passion. We develop and promote opportunities that create shared learning experiences. We are experts at identifying the needs of our community of learners and leaders; being flexible to what is being asked and focusing on results for all students.
Our goal is to support educators and school and district leaders as they focus on student learning.
Instructional Services supports school improvement by providing professional learning opportunities, embedded coaching, and technology resources to support learning. The Instructional Services division supports the needs of all educators and provides forward thinking direction through a broad spectrum of programs and services for the local, regional, and broader education community. We connect educators to the right resources, through our internal expertise as well as our relationships and partnerships with global thought leaders, that create valuable opportunities for all students.
Ulster BOCES, a leader in innovative educational services delivery, has chosen acclaimed author, scholar, and speaker Dr. Yong Zhao to deliver the keynote address at the Deeper Learning New York 2025 (DLNY25) Conference. This marks the second year Ulster BOCES will partner with Deeper Learning Global to host this transformative event, created to inspire insights into building student-centered schools that prepare learners to thrive in an ever-changing future.
Education leaders from across Ulster County are continuing to work together to strengthen schools and expand opportunities for students. By examining regional strengths, resources, gaps, challenges, and trends, superintendents, assistant superintendents, and PPS administrators are engaging in ongoing discussions about ways to collaborate and create more equitable student opportunities across districts.
What does the future of education look like? Dr. Jonah Schenker, District Superintendent at Ulster Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), aims to uncover the answer in its new podcast, Leading for Deeper Learning with Ulster BOCES, where he and his guests explore the bold ideas and innovative leadership transforming today’s schools—starting with a timely look at New York State's evolving graduation standards.
