The Distributed Teacher and Leader Education program (D-TALE) is Stony Brook University’s home for all programs that lead to New York State certification for K-12 teaching and administration. Our faculty comprises nationally-known scholars, as well as professionals who have served full careers as teachers and administrators. We offer 14 undergraduate majors that lead to high school and middle school teacher certification and one (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) that leads to K-12 certification.

Admission into the Teacher Preparation Program is open to current Stony Brook undergraduates only. If you are not currently a Stony Brook undergraduate, please refer to the Admissions website for application information.
Your college decision isn't really about the next four years. We get it. It’s about what doors are opened by your degree and whether those opportunities are what you had envisioned for yourself. Nearly 95% of SBU grads are employed or go to professional or graduate school. Here's a snapshot of what life after graduation looks like for some of them.
