Teacher certification from start to finish

In groups of two or three read the following texts, discuss them, and report back to the class on your major conclusions in order to make a procedure of teacher certification complete.

  1. Applicants for Certification

New York State certification is required for all teachers, administrators, teaching assistants, and pupil personnel professionals employed in the State's public schools. The certificates are issued by the Office of Teaching Initiatives, and certify that an individual has met required degree, coursework, assessment, and experience requirements. Certificates are issued in a number of titles in three major categories: classroom teaching, administrative and supervisory, and pupil personnel service (e. g., school counselor, psychologist, social worker).
