(3) The commissioner may deem that all requirements for a provisional teacher's certificate in a title in the classroom teaching service have been met by a candidate who holds a valid teacher's certificate in the same or an equivalent title issued by any state and also holds a certificate in the same or an equivalent title issued by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
(4) A candidate may meet the educational preparation requirements for a provisional certificate in a certificate title prescribed in this Part by successfully completing a program of educational preparation for a teacher's certificate in such certificate title or its equivalent at an institution of higher education approved pursuant to section 3030 of the Education Law, the interstate agreement on the qualifications of educational personnel. In order to be eligible for a provisional certificate such candidates shall be required to meet all other requirements for the provisional certificate as prescribed in this Part, which may include but are not limited to an examination requirement.
