Teachers- Permanent Certification...

Can I apply for permanent certification WITHOUT taking the ATS-P?

I have my masters and 3 yrs experience...

I'm pretty sure there is no more permanent certification. now its professional certification. do you have initial certification? I found this...

The Assessment of Teaching Skills–Performance (ATS—P) is a component
of the New York State Teacher Certification Examinations™ (NYSTCE®).
Individuals holding provisional New York State teaching certificates in
PreK—6, secondary academic titles (7—12), or ESOL, with effective dates
between September 2, 1993, and February 1, 2004, are required to
achieve a passing score on the ATS—P as part of the requirements to receive
a permanent certificate. Candidates who are issued an initial certificate
effective on or after February 2, 2004, are not required to take the ATS—P.
