Video Conference on Teacher & Teaching Assistant
Certification Requirements

Ensuring that you maintain valid certification is your responsibility!

Do you know that if you let your certification lapse you could lose your job?

 

The path to obtaining teacher certification in New York State has become quite complicated as teacher preparation reflects the rigor necessary to implement higher educational standards.

Where are you on the path?

Are you pursuing initial, professional certification or teaching assistant certification?

What do you need if you are pursuing initial or professional certification?

What do you need if you are pursuing teaching assistant certification?

Do you know what examinations you have to take…f any?

Do you know how much time you have to complete these requirements?

Do you understand the Professional Development requirement?

Are you confused?

Through presentation and question-and-answer, this videoconference details the NYS certification process and provides participants with information and resources as well as recommendations on how to work towards maintaining certification.

This videoconference is conducted by NYSUT Research and Educational Services
and NYSUT’s New Member Program
in cooperation with your NYSUT Regional Office
and your local union as a service to our members.

 

Again this year we will be offering interactive video conferences for teachers pursuing permanent certificates.  The enclosed materials noting the dates in November, December, and April (2010) have also been sent to you in electronic form so that you can easily share them with your members.

We are also offering a video conference for Teaching Assistants on February 3, 2010 at 4:30 pm.

Please note, the format has changed again this year so that a single session starting at 4:30 PM is provided which focuses on certification issues after February 1, 2004.  If any teacher whose certificate pre-dates February 1, 2004 needs advice, please have them contact your Labor Relations Specialist so NYSUT can assist.
