The Elementary ATS-W is one component of the New York State teacher examination series. It consists of multiple-choice questions and a written assignment. The test assesses professional and pedagogical knowledge at the early childhood (Birth- Grade 2) and childhood (Grades 1- 6) levels, and it is divided into four sections: - student development and learning
- instruction and assessment
- the professional environment
- instruction and assessment: constructed response assignment
Applicants who already hold a valid New York State classroom teaching certificate (other than career and technical) are not required to take the ATSW when applying for an additional certificate.
