Coming to ny to teach?

Question

My friend is a teacher in Trinidad and wants to come to New York to teach cricket. Anyone knows how to go about doing that?

Answer 1

Go to this website and look into submitting his current college work and teaching experience to be reviewed by NY State- they will then determine what he needs to do to transfer his skills into state certification.

As for teaching cricket,  I've never heard of a school that had just a cricket teacher, but I wish him luck!

Answer 2

Your friend should have some equivalency of education in physical education. Your friend might need to complete courses here  - I'm not sure if a degree from overseas qualifies them to work here in the same capacity. Also, sports teachers here are licensed, usually in physical education and have some sort of teaching degree. It's different teaching sports here than in other countries. Ask a local college about phys. ed degrees for experienced teachers outside the US
