Over the years, new programs have launched covering a variety of subject areas, based on the needs of the NYCDOE, and allowed for different entry points into the teaching profession. Moving forward, the NYCDOE seeks to continue to prepare alternate route teachers, while also providing space for new initiatives, innovative practices, and opportunities for vendors to support additional teacher preparation programs through both alternate and traditional route services. The NYCDOE will partner with accredited institutions of higher education that offer teacher certification programs and bachelor and master degrees in the field of education. All programs must be capable of providing relevant and responsive coursework focused on outcomes in teacher practice and be delivered in an efficient and flexible manner suited for participants who teach full-time while enrolled in coursework.
