First you are in the city so now I understand the esl. I was/am a country bumpkin. Hunterdon county is mostly very country. Also I don't think any of the classes are offered in Hunterdon I would have had to drive about an hour minimum to take classes.
It has been a while, but I think you had to at least start the classes within a year of your getting the teaching job. If I remember right you did need to take 1 20 or so hour class be for you can even be eligible. Usually I think it is a couple of hours over several weeks to finish. I found a program near AC that did it in 4 or 5 longer days in a row. I took a week off rented a cheap hotel on the out skirt of the city and stayed down there. You will also need to take at least 1 PRAXIS II exam. I tried taking one without much study and failed an exam for the first and only time.
I am almost positive that a Masters without License will not be allowed as a substitute for the classes. They want to be sure you understand common core and how to use it when writing a lesson plan which they also want to teach you how to do.
