Well, I'm in FL and will be graduating with a BA in Elementary Education in May. So, I'm beginning to think about what my next step will be. Originally I thought about taking a year off to just teach before getting my Master's, but now I'm considering jumping right into it. The boy and I plan on moving back to NY (Saratoga/Albany area) after graduation so I'm looking into graduate programs up there.

Question 1: Does anyone know the requirements to transfer a FL teaching certificate to a NY? I know they have a reciprocal agreement but have been having trouble finding specifically what tests/classes/steps I will need ot take to get the license transferred.

Question 2: Does anyone happen to know how substitute teachers are paid in NY? I'm considering doing that while getting my Master's in order to get a feel for the schools and meet principals, etc. I know where we are living in FL I would get 13.50/hr as a sub with a BA. NY pays teachers more in the salary, but I'm not sure if they would pay their subs more also. I've been trying to google it but haven't had any luck. Any ideas?
