The new requirements are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educating All Students Test (EAS)<\/li>\n<li>Content Specialty Test (CST) in the discipline of science for which you are pursuing certification (biology, chemistry, physics, earth science)<\/li>\n<li>Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA) &#8211; This is a portfolio assessment that evaluates one&#8217;s ability to plan lessons, instruct classes, and assess both student and teacher performance. All candidates are expected to prepared a portfolio for submission during the first semester of student teaching. For additional information about the NYSTCE testing program, visit their website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nystce.nesinc.com\/.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.nystce.nesinc.com\/. <\/a><\/li>\n<li>Graduate Record Exam (GRE) The GRE is standardized exam used to measure an individual&#8217;s aptitude for abstract thinking in the areas of analytical writing, mathematics and vocabulary. The GRE requirement applies to all graduate programs that lead to New York State certification in classroom teaching. This includes initial certification, professional certification, and advanced certificate programs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][dsm_text_divider header=&#8221;Graduate Level Candidates:&#8221; text_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; color=&#8221;#E71939&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Open Sans|600|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/dsm_text_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Open Sans||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;Open Sans|600|||on|||#E71939|&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#E71939&#8243; header_5_font=&#8221;Open Sans|600|||||||&#8221; text_font_tablet=&#8221;Open Sans||||||||&#8221; text_font_phone=&#8221;Open Sans||||||||&#8221; text_font_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>CST<\/h4>\n<p>It is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>strongly recommended<\/strong><\/span> that all Master&#8217;s-level candidates take the <strong>CST<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>prior to entering the MAT or the Post Baccalaureate Advanced Certificate Program<\/strong><\/span>.
