edTPA waived through 8/31/2029 per PA 104-0128
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!
