Wisconsin state statutes, the Department of Public Instruction and the CESA 7 Teacher Development Center require candidates pursuing licensure to pass standardized tests in order to receive the endorsement of the program. Tests vary by licensure area. Some of the common tests and resources can be found on the pages at the links below.
What is the right timing?
Your scholar plan indicates the ideal time to take each of your assessments. Not taking your test will not adversely affect your program, but it could delay your licensure.
If you would like to change the timing of your test attempts, please let your scholar advisor know.
I've completed my program, but not my tests. What now?
If you have completed your program, you have to make an attempt on each of your tests prior to August 31st each year to receive an LWS1-PROG form from the program.
How does CESA 7 know when I pass?
It is important that you select Cooperative Educational Service Agency #7 as your score recipient when you register. Doing so allows your test provider to send the TDC a copy of your scores. Failing to do so may be a costly error and require you to pay to have a score sent to us.
