If you’re already certified to teach, our advanced certificates can help make you a more marketable, knowledgeable, and well-rounded educator. Our advanced certificates lead to NYSED certification in specialized areas and an extension/annotation on your NYS teaching credentials.
Pursuing an advanced certificate is an ideal—and affordable—way for experienced teachers and educational personnel to strengthen their expertise in a specific area. Most programs require 12-15 credits, inclusive of fieldwork. Upon successful completion, you’ll be eligible for an extension/annotation on your New York State teaching credentials, and your earned credits can apply to an additional salary differential.
