Do you have New York State (NYS) initial certification to teach social studies in middle childhood or adolescence and want to pursue the graduate work needed to obtain professional certification? Do you already have both initial and professional certification to teach social studies in middle childhood or adolescence, but are interested in new career opportunities? Do you simply want to continue to update and enhance your professional knowledge through graduate level coursework?

The Warner School offers a variety of interesting options to meet all of these goals. All options can be pursued part-time while holding a full-time teaching job (although appropriate arrangements will need to be made whenever internships are required).
