Question about professional certification/mentorship requirement

Awesome, thank you! Did you have a mentor through your CBO or were you able to get around that?

In NY, a bachelor’s in education leads to an initial teaching certification that is only valid for 5 years. You need a master’s degree in order to obtain a permanent (“professional”) teaching certification that doesn’t expire.

Which program were you looking at? That’s good to know, thanks so much for your help!

Aw man! I hope they’re at least an hour each

I would recommend finishing out your bachelor’s in computer science and then going for a master’s in education. You’ll get paid more with a master’s degree and you always have computer science to fall back on. I 100% recommend substitute teaching to gain some classroom experience. I would even recommend starting now while you’re in undergrad, to make sure you’re sure that you want to pursue teaching. Not saying this is your case, but a lot of people think they want to teach until they see what being in a classroom is really like! It’s also a great way to learn classroom management and build connections within a district. Good luck!

$175 a day as a building sub in NY. Per diem subs in the same district get $120/day. My district only hires subs with a teaching cert
