Educators today are under tremendous pressure. Federal, state and local state standards,  as well as school report cards and media commentary have become critical  components in the school community. The Long Island Learning Institute for Educators, LLC is an organization that was founded by practicing teachers  who face the  same 21st century challenges as those who enroll in our courses.   LILIE was formed to be an educator’s tool to meet the challenges of ensuring student success.  LILIE courses are designed to complement  professional development plans, district strategic plans, and the current educational issues of all involved the educating of our youth.   We pride ourselves in providing meaningful courses that are realistically applicable and beneficial in the classroom.   It is our goal that each teacher who participates in our classes, exits with practical knowledge and new teaching insights and/or methods that can be successfully applied to his or her classroom.
