In NYS, you need to get a BS in education. You will need to get your masters in education as well. You need to pass a series of exams. 6 years total generally. Here is the NYS website on certification http://www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/certificate/certprocess.htm New york certification is one of the hardest to get. Once you get certified in NY, you can teach anywhere. Teachers get recruited from NY all of the time. I live in upstate new york. The SUNY system is wonderful. Great education, lower tuition. Buffalo state, fredonia and Geneseo are great choices http://www.suny.edu/Student/campuses_complete_list.cfm You may want to consider a combo of special ed and el ed.

Columbia University is excellent. You will need a BA ad if you teach at at secondary school you will need a prescribed number of credits in various groupings. If you teach in elementary school you will need a number of elementary education classes. For secondary schools you will also need various education classes. Passing of the Praxis examination is necessary for both. You may also need a number of graduate credits./.
