Recently I've been looking for school programs and talking to a counselor at
the Career Center in my school. She mentioned that NY and CA states have
more stringent requirements on preparing a teacher. She said hence it is
better to attend programs in those two states because it is "easier" for
people to go from these two states to other states, and it is "harder" for
teachers certified from other states to go to NY and CA. She also mentioned
that there are states on the "second tier", and some

That 1st tier and 2nd tier thing just sounds kinda bogus to me. NY and CA
are not by far the best paying states for teachers. There's nothing special
to their certification, either, except for the fact that they don't have
much inter-state reciprocity with other states. California's CBEST is
totally a joke. I am not sure about NY though. But anyways, if you got your
teaching license in New York, you won't have much difficulty teaching in
other states.

I talked about it with some of my classmates (Americans). They said NY is a
better place to get certified, because it is easy for you to go other states
teaching. My understanding is, if you get certified in NY, you only need to
pass some tests if you want to get other state's teaching certification.

Thank you both for responding. So....although the two states are both on
interstate agreement, you still need to get through this extra step in order
to teach there (maybe to keep teachers from other states away??)
Now I'm still struggling on the searching for school programs. First I tried
using the (Peterson's?) guide on education programs and look for MAT,
special ed. programs throughout states. I found a couple of schools, though
only two in NYS (and not exactly the program I want). Among th
