I recently graduated with my Bachelor's in Psychology. I have no student teaching logged time but I do have tutoring time and lots of other volunteer work that is indirectly related but not technically "in classroom" hours. I'm moving to New York in a year and looking to begin a teaching job. Living in Massachusetts now, I was going to be able to get my license by simply taking all of the required tests, however I'm realizing that in New York that's different. Is there any way for me to get my initial license within a year? I'm currently working full-time so the field work may pose an issue, plus the fact that I'm not actually in NY yet. I don't think I'm eligible for a transitional license because my major isn't in English (which I want to teach ideally). I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of a way where I could begin looking for a job within 6 months and actually teaching by next fall in NY. Thank you!

You can probably get a teaching job at a catholic or private school.
