https://www.charteroak.edu/credit-registry/ $850

I would verify with the State of NY that they accept credits from a registry.
You might also consider using reciprocity. Education is a state responsibility in the United States. This means that there were 50+ systems of teacher certification. If you can get certified in one system, you might be able to get a second state (in this case NY) to grant certification based on that certificate.
For example, New Jersey has an alternate certification system. Here's the page that shows the requirements for biology certification:

Maybe you can get certified in New Jersey and then reciprocity back to NY.
Reciprocity isn't a breeze in NY. NY in general is not a reciprocity friendly state with most licenses. For some reason we like to make things difficult unfortunately. We have 2 certifications here. We don't make it easy.
