How do I become eligible to teach Special Education classes in New Jersey?

I am 23 years old and currently have a BA in psychology and certificate for early childhood education. I am interested in becoming a special education teacher and was curious as to what the best way to go about this would be. I know I need more schooling but is it another degree or certificate? Would any classes I have taken count towards this? Could I complete this in a year? I live in New Jersey and realize it changes from state to state but any information or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

  1. Yes, the 2nd degree will be shorter. I'm not sure about a year, maybe 2. Why don't you proceed to Masters & PhD ? I don't think you'll need a degree in Education to teach, once completed.
