Introducing the New York State Teacher Certification Guide!

Want to find out how to become a teacher in New York? Teach.com can help! In addition to connecting you with the greatest education bloggers on the web and sharing the latest education news and resources, one of our chief goals has always been to provide you with a detailed breakdown of teacher certification requirements in each state. While all states require teaching candidates to hold at least a bachelor's degree, additional requirements to become a teacher vary. On our state pages, we outline the teaching requirements across all fifty states and the District of Columbia, as well as other valuable information such as teacher salary, benefits, and job outlook in each.

Teacher certification requirements can be difficult to navigate, so we've tried to compile as much of the relevant information as possible and present it in an easily accessible way. To that end, we'd like to introduce the New York State Teacher Certification Guide: an excellent resource that expands upon the information already offered on our New York page. The purpose of the guide is to discuss in greater detail the requirements to teach in New York schools, and to outline the different avenues available to you as an aspiring New York teacher. In the guide, you'll find valuable information on:

  • New York teaching certification requirements

  • Pre-requisite coursework

  • Required teacher exams

  • Teacher scholarships

  • New York teacher salary and incentives
