Unfortunately, my NYS provisional certification expired almost 3 years ago.
Prior to it's expiration, I worked for about 1.5 years as a counselor, but was laid off in 2009 due to the economic situation. I was unable to find work as a counselor, so for the past few years I have been teaching English abroad, so of course I never completed the additional hours and 15 credits I needed for permanent certification.
Has anyone had any experience with receiving a renewal or time extension of an already expired provisional School Counselor certification? I have contacted the NYS dept of Ed but haven't received any response.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Hello,
We recently had a student death, due to suicide, and some of our teachers have approached us in coming up with an outline or script of the best ways to approach and provide this type of news to their class. I have found some resources but wanted to get ideas from fellow counselors that may have experienced similar situations.
In the sage words of Yogi Berra, “if you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll be lost when you get there.”
Picking a career path is a game of reality versus passion, and your students can start blazing a meaningful path in school.
A conservative estimate is that one in six children in school today has a parent who is dependent on or addicted to alcohol or other drugs.
There’s a lesson in this balancing act—for the parents of our students and for us, the teachers at the front of the room...
