You do realize, don't you, that one poster does not represent anyone else except one person in one school, right?
There is no "back east" teaching standard.
I'm not following you.

Yes, it does include art or music or PE or computers or electives. They are teachers too.

I think what she means is that the classroom teachers are not in front of those students when the kids are in specials. The specials are when the teachers have their planning time.
Note, however, that for the elementary school my kids go to, they only have one special each day, so the classroom teacher has one class period off and lunch off. In many places the classroom teachers supervise the kids at lunch and/or recess (though at my kids school, they rotate the supervisory duties, I think).
I have been a special ed. teacher in no. ca. for 20 years. I have all the necessary credentials....including a masters.
I want to move to new york state to be with my daughter. In order to do this...will I have to
take a bunch of tests to indicate I am a professional teacher? Would it be easier for me to be a substitute teacher?
I was hoping it would be an easy transition...but I am definitely concerned. Thank you.

In my experience, you probably will not have any problem transferring your certification from California to New York State, but check the board of education for the state.
You have to apply directly to the state board, I believe.
Also, imo, substitute teaching is a way to gain experience of the particular schools so that you know where you may want to apply to teach before you decide to try for a permanent job in any school or school district.
Depending upon the particular district, you can sub even without certification as long as you have a BA. Subs used to be in short supply, but I don't know the situation currently. That, too, will depend upon the particular district.
If you are thinking of teaching in NYS, substituting may currently be your only option right now. I have been certified for 3 years in NY and have been unable to land a full-time teaching job, as they are few and far between. Unfortunately the few openings allow for a lot of applications and little opportunity. I can't speak for all, but I am quite sure that most districts want you to be certified in NY before they will consider you, since there are so few openings and a lot of applicants. Districts are always looking for subs, so you would probably not have an issue finding that. But you never know, although the market isn't great for teaching in NY, you may find something if you have a lot of experience. Good luck!
You have to be nominated by a principal in order to even get on the Sub list in NY now. It USED to be that anyone could sub, including those with a degree in any discipline, not anymore. Good luck even getting a nomination from a principal. There is a deadline to have your nomination in by as well..
