NYSTCE EAS (NYSTCE) case studies
NYSTCE EAS · Put your knowledge to work in context.
Educating All Students (EAS) is a New York State Teacher Certification Examination, listed by the NYSTCE program as Test Code 201. It sits alongside the Assessment of Teaching Assistant Skills, the Communication and Quantitative Skills Test, the Content Specialty Tests, the School Leadership Assessments, the Bilingual Education Assessments, and the NYSTCE Flex assessments in the NYSTCE catalog. Whether you must take it - and which other tests you need - depends on the certification title you are pursuing, so the NYSTCE site directs candidates to confirm testing requirements for their certification type rather than assuming a single fixed list. The EAS is designed around the professional knowledge a classroom teacher needs to serve all learners: diverse student populations, English language learners, students with disabilities and other special learning needs, and teacher responsibilities. The NYSTCE EAS case studies are 5 cases and about 3,501 words.
