Re: Elementary Ed Teacher CT
Posted by Nancy Carol on 6/18/08

    I agree. He spoke to superintendennts/principals in NY and was
    informed they select those with a Masters Degree first and rarely
    choose those with only a BA. Can anyone from NY clarify this? Not
    to mention there is cost involved to apply for certification in
    each state correct?
