    A bit late, but check out:

    Empire State College
    Masters of Arts in Teaching

    Or google: ESC MAT

    Designed for career changers with sufficient coursework in
    content field.

    You'll need to prepare for September 2016. But better late
    than never. Get your application, paperwork, and exams out of
    the way while you wait.
