About this exam
The New York State Teacher Certification Examinations Educating All Students (EAS) test assesses whether prospective teachers understand how to support learners with varied backgrounds, strengths, and needs. It is a required certification assessment for many candidates pursuing New York State teacher certification; the applicable requirements can depend on a candidate’s certification pathway. The exam focuses on inclusive teaching, culturally responsive practice, English language learners, students with disabilities and other learning needs, and teachers’ professional responsibilities. It evaluates knowledge used in classroom decision-making, not mastery of one particular subject area.
The EAS is commonly administered as a computer-based test with selected-response questions and a constructed-response task. Its content includes teaching students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, second-language development and academic language, supporting English language learners across content areas, and adapting instruction for students with disabilities and other learning needs. Candidates should also review assessment, family and community engagement, and ethical and legal responsibilities. For the current structure and requirements, consult the official NYSTCE test framework and New York State certification guidance, since details may change.
