Stony Brook’s Distributed Teacher and Leader Education (D-TALE) Program is a member in good standing of the Association of Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP). We are working towards accreditation of our educator preparation programs under the AAQEP standards with an anticipated Quality Assurance Review in the Spring of 2023. Stony Brook’s teacher certification programs are registered and approved by the New York State Education Department. Students complete the requirements of either a Departmental major or an interdisciplinary major in addition to teacher certification. It is recommended that students consult their planned major department as early as the second semester of the freshman year but no later than the second semester of their sophomore year to determine if the major includes the teacher education option. It is necessary to apply for admission to the Professional Education Program and to obtain guidance from program coordinators in completing teacher education and departmental major requirements for a degree. Teacher Education programs are offered in the following subject areas: Certification Grades 7 through 12: English Foreign Languages: Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish Mathematics Sciences: Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Physics (General Science 7-12 Extension Certification options are available for these programs) Social Studies Certification Grades Pre-K through 12: Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages...
