LAUSD tests

In order to apply as a TA with LAUSD, you need to take one or two tests:

1. • If you have completed less than 48 units in college, then you'll need to complete BOTH the Instructional Assistance Test AND the District Proficiency Test.

   • If 48 units or more, then you just need to take the District Proficiency Test.

To prepare for the test, read these PDFs:

• District Proficiency Study Guide

• Instructional Assistance Test (info coming soon)

If you don't pass, you need to wait 30 days until the next test and pay $7 again. (In case you need it, the official LAUSD page is here.)

To sign up for the test, you follow a crazy procedure:

1. Create an account on this LAUSD job search site – this is SEPARATE from the account you create for actually applying for the TA position. It's crazy, but that's how it works.

2. Find 'job posting' DP&IA-11-21-XA1 District Proficiency and Instructional Assistance Assessment.

3. Click the Apply button.

4. Answer the questions and then select "Submit Application" -- this is your 'application' to take the test. You'll still need to pass the test and then submit your teaching assistance application.

It costs $7 and save your receipts so that we can reimburse you!
