Pathway to Professional Certification: Second Initial Certification

Designing Lessons Integrating TechnologyAn ETS (K-12) certification is an excellent way for a teacher currently holding a first initial certification in a teaching field to enhance their own classroom instruction and instructional technology integration abilities and at the same time provide a pathway to professional certification within New York State. In an increasingly competitive environment it is also an excellent complimentary certification to art, music, business and technology education certifications.
Candidates who have an adolescent education math or science first initial certification find the ETS certification attractive as they are interested in enhancing their classroom teaching ability and technology integration skills, but may not be interested in graduate level professional science or math coursework that would on one hand lead to a professional certification in their primary teaching field.
The majority of candidates in this program are completing it as a second initial certification.
