Certification

 

As an alternate route program, the Fellowship accelerates the process of bringing new teachers to the classrooms that need them most. Rather than completing a traditional teacher education program prior to entering the classroom, Fellows engage in a short, intensive pre-service training program, then complete other academic requirements while they teach.

 

While they are completing their Master’s degrees, Fellows work under Transitional B certification, which is issued by New York State. The Transitional B certificate is valid for up to three years, so long as one maintains good standing as a Fellow. Upon completion of the Master's degree and additional state requirements, Fellows may apply for further certification.
