TEACHER CERTIFICATION

PEOPLE ASK WHY THERE IS A LACK OF MINORITY TEACHERS IN THE TEACHING PROFESSION AND THIS IS PART OF THE REASON. THIS DATA IS FOR NEW YORK STATE TEACHER CERTIFICATION BUT IM SURE ITS NOT FAR OFF FOR OTHER STATES. STRUGGLING ON STANDARDIZED TESTING FOLLOWS US FROM CHILDHOOD TO ADULT HOOD. STUDYING FOR THESE EXAMS SHOWED ME HOW MUCH FOUNDATION I WAS MISSING AS A CHILD. ALOT OF HISPANIC AND BLACK TEACHERS ARE NOT PASSING THESE EXAMS AND FORCING THEM OUT OF THE CLASSROOM!

I love love love love love that you shared this story! You are an inspiration. Keep pushin. It was hard but all things that are worth fighting for are hard. Mad props to you.

Thank God they are getting rid of that hideous edTPA. It's sad that NYC works to hard to block us. And they always complained about high teacher turn over.

Those numbers painful! Thanks for sharing your story and being transparent about your journey, your kids are lucky. I’m currently studying for my cst (science) which I already failed once and it pains me to pay again! 😂

Thanks for sharing your experience. I was a NYC Teaching Fellow in 2017. I just finished my third year teaching. I currently teach 6th Grade Social Special Education. I'm interested in school leadership and using indigenous knowledge (e.g. Yoga, meditation, martial arts, etc) to create a democratic school community. I spend a lot of my time learning how to lesson plan and make curriculum, which is my struggle, but it will be a strength one day, god willing. Stay blessed.
