Students who complete these four courses will be eligible for an additional classroom certificate in Bilingual Education through the individual evaluation pathway. None of the courses are language specific, therefore these classes will work for individuals looking for a certification extension in ANY language. Students will choose the language of their certification extension when they take their required Bilingual Education Assessment (BEA). Please visit www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/ for more information.
As with all Individual Evaluation Pathway Courses, students should always contact their district office (Long Island/Westchester schools) or the UFT/NYCDOE Certification Office to verify these courses work with their certification. Individual Evaluation Pathway certification extensions only work with valid, current certifications.
