Certification
Approved Teacher Preparation Program
A person may complete
a teacher education program in a New York college or university
(View
a list of the NYS registered Teacher Preparation Programs) and be recommended
for a certificate provided that program has been registered by
the Department as leading to the designated certificate.
The institutional
recommendation is completed by the recommending institution using
TEACH Online Services. The institution also provides each applicant
with a "Student
Application Information Sheet" outlining
all the information the student needs in order to apply for a certificate
through the approved program pathway. Applicants for Certification
should click
and
create a TEACH account. Once an account is created, the applicant
can login to TEACH to apply for Certification through the approved
program pathway. Contact your recommending institution for your "Student
Application Information Sheet." College recommended
applicants must also satisfy the testing
requirement and obtain fingerprint
clearance before the certificate can be issued.
