I currently teach bilingual education in the state of Texas. I got my certification through an alternative certification program....

My question is, could I teach Bilingual ed. in NYC? I know there is reproprocity between Texas and NY, but...what about alternative certification?

Has anyone done this before? Any ideas?

Thanks

Certification requirements in NY have changed- I know the procedures and types of licenses are very different from when I started in '96 (and confusing- part of me thinks that they make things confusing to weed people out )

NYC is always looking for bilingual teachers, so I don't think you will have a problem, beyond getting through the red tape.

Try these sites for more info:
NYC DOE: Teach NYC Dept of Ed's homepage for recruitment
Certification NYS Education Dept. (may be better to go here first.)

Hope this helps- feel free to PM me if you have any other questions. I am not an expert but I am pretty good at finding info on the city and state sites- they can be overwhelming.
