Ep 4: Pathways Into the Classroom

In episode 4 we investigate the New York state teaching credential in all its various forms, from the Initial Certificate to the various forms of Transitional Certificates so as to get a better idea of the obstacles standing between aspiring teachers and their classrooms. This is the first of a series of episodes focused on teacher preparation, barriers to entry into the profession, and the alternatives that sweep some of these barriers out of the way in special cases.
