trying to complete French Teaching License NYC
#1
I'll try to make this as simple as possible. If anyone has advice I will be sooo grateful.
 
I already have a TESOL license and work as an ENL teacher in a public high school in NYC. I majored in French Language & Lit in undergrad and realized I basically had all the credits between my undergrad and my teaching masters at CUNY to apply for a French license. I passed my CST exam and paid for application, only to be denied because I lacked "Coursework at student development level - grades 7-12". I think this is a mistake since my entire masters was devoted to preparing high school teachers.

Here's my question: is it worth appealing or even trying to get someone from CUNY to explain that all the classes I took are for the high school student developmental level? Or is there some more important technicality I'm missing? 

Also, if I do end up having to take extra classes, does anyone know what classes would satisfy this requirement if a regular teaching masters doesn't? I'm very unclear on what a "coursework at student developmental level" class looks like or entails. 

Super lost, just waiting on emails from faceless education bureaus that take months to reply, so appreciate any guidance whatsoever.

Your best bet is to follow the appeal process. NYC DOE is particularly inflexible.

You could look at the option below and see whether it can supplement your CST:
