Important Update on Supplementary Certificate Pathways

In response to the influx of recently arrived and asylum-seeking students, and to promote the teaching of English Language Learners in NYS schools, the Board of Regents recently adopted an emergency rule to provide flexibilities for the Supplementary Certificate and Supplementary Bilingual Education Extension.

There are three options to expedite the process:

  1. Option 1 - You currently hold an English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Initial, Professional, or Permanent New York State teaching certification and you are seeking supplementary certification in a content area.

  2. Option Two - You currently hold a New York State teaching certification and you are seeking a supplementary Bilingual Education extension to your current certification.

  3. Option Three - You currently hold a valid Initial, Professional, or Permanent New York State teaching certification and you are seeking supplementary certification in English to Speakers of Other Languages.

Supplementary Certificate Pathways
