Case by Case
Case by Case is designed to provide an alternative measure of a teacher candidate's content knowledge. Passing the NES/WEST-E content test is still a state certification requirement, but PESB has provided this option for students. CWU has developed our own program to assist students in meeting this certification requirement. If you have a student struggling to pass these tests, please direct them to the Teacher Certification Program's Required Testing webpage.

WEST-B Policy
Every student is required to attempt a reading, writing and math basic skills test to become a teacher in Washington. Typically the attempts come from ACT, SAT or WEST-B tests in each subject.
CWU has updated our Basic Skills admission requirement to provide test only options as well as test plus course options to meet the basic skills.
If you have a student has a Basic Skills item in their To-Do list in MyCWU, please direct them to teachercertification@cwu.edu to get their individual questions answered.
