Are you looking for a way to complete your master's degree and your certification while you teach in the public schools? Our Alternate Route to Certification may be just right for you.
Bank Street College and the New York State Department of Education are offering the Internship Certificate Credential as a way for graduate students to work as head teachers in public schools for up to two years while completing their degrees.
Here is how it works: Come to Bank Street and be a part of one of our outstanding programs for teacher preparation. Complete half of the credits in your program, and then gain a paid position in a public school to work as a head teacher while you complete your degree. Bank Street will sponsor our master's degree graduate students who are in good academic standing and who are hired to teach.
Most of our graduate students choose to complete half of their credits by completing a year of coursework and supervised fieldwork before taking advantage of the Internship Certificate Credential. Others complete course work and then use their public school setting as their fieldwork setting. However you choose to proceed, you will have a faculty mentor to work with you.
