ADVISORY
As a result of the federal “No Child Left
Behind” (NCLB) requirements, elementary
teacher credential candidates admitted to a
program after July 1, 2004 will be required to
pass the CSET Multiple Subject Examination
prior to enrollment in advanced student
teaching and prior to obtaining a multiple
subject credential in California.
Because of NCLB teacher employment
requirements for school districts, it is
essential for ALL multiple subject teaching
candidates to pass the CSET in order to be
viable candidates for public school teaching
positions. All candidates are advised to take
and pass the CSET, even if their timeline for
credential completion does not require it for
issuance of the credential.
