Note: the documents verifying that the candidates have met the experience and education (beyond the approved teacher preparation program) requirements have to come from:
- Employers: for the experience requirements
- Universities/Colleges: for the coursework requirements (official transcripts)
Candidates do not provide the documents themselves.
NYSED holds on to the verification documents for a limited period of time. After the time elapses, the documents need to be resubmitted with any subsequent certificate applications.
