Content Tests

Key Changes for Teacher Candidates and Preparation Programs in Illinois:

Public Act 103-0846 is law as of Aug. 9, 2024

 

Content Test Timing: Candidates in traditional or apprenticeship programs must pass the content test before receiving a Professional Educator License, not before student teaching. This allows student teaching to begin this fall even if the test is not yet passed.

 

Alternative Program: Candidates in alternative programs must pass the content test before receiving a Professional Educator License, not before getting the Education License with Stipulations - Alternative Provisional Educator (ELS-APE)

 

Test Subareas: ISBE allows Elementary Education (702) content test subareas to be scored and retaken separately. This will be expanding to other tests soon!
