BACKGROUND

As the examinations of the CSET were phased in, they replaced the single subject tests administered by NES under the Single Subject Assessments for Teaching program and the tests administered by Educational Testing Service under The Praxis Series as the required credential tests in California. As of fall 2005, all candidates who choose to meet the subject matter competence requirement by taking examinations must earn passing scores on the examinations of the CSET.
 

In spring 2004 the California State Board of Education adopted regulations for the implementation of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). These new regulations require that elementary teachers who are “new to the profession” pass a CCTC-approved subject matter examination.
CSET: Multiple Subjects is the current CCTC-approved elementary subject matter examination for the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. Passage of the previously approved subject matter examination (i.e., Multiple Subjects Assessment for Teachers [MSAT]) may be used to satisfy the requirement only if the passing score was achieved before July 2003 and used to earn certification within five years of the date that the score was achieved. Single Subject Teaching Credential candidates have two options to meet the NCLB requirement: completing a CCTC-approved single subject matter preparation program or passing a CCTC-approved subject matter examination, currently the CSET: Single Subjects.
