Test Background Information

In 2000 the Washington State Legislature passed HB 2760, which created the Washington Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB). In addition to its authority and responsibilities related to high standards for Washington educators, the PESB has authority for assessing the basic skills and content knowledge of prospective teachers applying to educator preparation programs and applicants for residency certification in Washington State.

 
As Washington established higher standards for the necessary basic skills and knowledge all students should have, more is now required of our teachers. The governor, legislature, state board of education, and superintendent of public instruction proposed establishing a single, uniform means of assessing the basic skills competency of all teacher candidates.
