NYSTCE Updates

The New York State Education Department is in the process of developing new teacher certification exams. The new tests include a portfolio-based Teacher Performance Assessment known as edTPA, an Educating All Students Test, an Academic Literacy Skills Test and revised Content Specialty Tests. The draft frameworks and test designs for several of the tests were just recently updated on December 6th, 2012 and we invite you to preview these drafts to help prepare our candidates at www.nystce.nesinc.com/NY_annProgramUpdate.asp#TestMaterials.  Also see www.highered.nysed.gov/, a recently launched website by the NYSED Office of Higher Education for additional information.
