I am considering getting a New Jersey teaching certification. The things I have in my favor are two certificates from two other states. The things I have in my favor are two certificates from two other states. What I'm not sure of is if I need to have additional testing or credentials. Does New Jersey offer an alternative certification program? I would like to get a position teaching in North Jersey and I am familiar with the area as I used to live in Newark, NJ. I have a job in DC as a coach at a university but it pays next to nothing. I was trying to go to Florida, but their school system has the problem of not hiring anyone right now, among others. So if I'm going to live somewhere cold it would be the NYC metro.

Yes, NJ does have an Alternate Route Program, which you can learn more about here: http://www.state.nj.us/education/educators/license/alternate.htm

But we warned, as others have said, the teaching field is saturated in NJ. I have been attempting to go alternate route for almost a year & unable to land any position other than substituting.

Best of luck to you though.

School Districts are required to post positions even though they plan to hire internally or already have someone in mind.
