The certification process is not automatic; the Department will need to recommend you for the programs for which you qualify, and then you will need to apply to the State to request those certificates be issued. An overview of the process.
Recommendation Process: At the end of each semester, the Education Department recommends all graduates who have met requirements for certification. You will be recommended for the certifications for which you qualify (see Wagner Program Codes) if you meet the following requirements:
- Completion of all program requirements
- Documented completion of all State required workshops
- Met all grade point requirements, including nothing under a B in education courses
- Registration in the New York State TEACH system (see sample TEACH Application Form)
After the program recommends you for certification, you may apply for your certificates whenever you would like. The State system automatically checks these additional requirements when you apply for your certificate:
-
- Passing scores on all required tests for the desired certificate

Students must complete the following three workshops for educator certification in New York State.
- Child Abuse Identification and Reporting
- Dignity for All Students Act (DASA)
- School Violence Prevention and Intervention
Key Points to Remember:
- Workshop Completion: All workshops must be completed by the end of your first education course.
- Curriculum and Advising: Check the curriculum plans online and consult your advisor to stay on track.
- Certificate of Completion: After finishing a workshop, you should receive a certificate of completion. Confirm with the provider if this certificate will be electronically uploaded to your TEACH account. If the provider only issues a physical copy, you are responsible for sending the certificate to the Office of Teaching Initiatives to have it posted on TEACH and receive credit.
- Taskstream Upload: In addition, you are required to upload your certificates to Taskstream under the “Workshop Certificates” program.
