Due to a mandate from SBEC/TEA there is an additional
step in becoming certified to teach Special Education in the state of
Texas. This rule specifies in order for WCACP to recommend a teaching
candidate for their Probationary Certificate in Special Education, you
must pass a corresponding content test in addition to the EC-12 Special
Education content area.
The specific content exam required will depend on the grade level you
