In addition, Washington's RCW 28A.410.220 also required the Board to adopt subject knowledge assessments for teacher certification in 33 endorsement areas. The ruling stipulated that the selected assessments must be aligned with the knowledge and skills required of K-12 students as defined by Washington's Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs). The PESB elected to require The Praxis Series tests to meet the mandate for subject knowledge tests. Effective September 2005, applicants for Washington teacher certification must meet the new licensure testing requirements.
