§ 3007. Endorsement   of   foreign   certificates  and  diplomas.  The
  commissioner of education may in his discretion endorse:
1. A diploma issued by a normal school or teachers college of  another
  state.
2.  A  certificate  issued  by  the chief educational officer or state
  board of another state.
Such endorsement confers on the holder of such diploma or  certificate
  the  privileges conferred by law on the holder of the diploma of a state
  teachers college or state college  for  teachers  or  state  certificate
  issued  in  this  state. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
  commissioner shall require that any  person  seeking  endorsement  of  a
  foreign  certificate  or  diploma,  on  or after January first, nineteen
  hundred ninety-one, shall have completed  two  hours  of  coursework  or
  training  regarding  the identification and reporting of child abuse and
  maltreatment. The coursework or  training  shall  be  obtained  from  an
  institution  or  provider  which  has been approved by the department to
  provide such course work or training. The coursework or  training  shall
  include  information regarding the physical and behavioral indicators of
  child abuse and maltreatment and the  statutory  reporting  requirements
  set out in sections four hundred thirteen through four hundred twenty of
  the  social  services  law, including but not limited to, when and how a
  report must be made, what other actions  the  reporter  is  mandated  or
  authorized  to  take,  the legal protections afforded reporters, and the
  consequences for failing to report. Each  applicant  shall  provide  the
  department  with  documentation showing that he or she has completed the
  required training.
