Adding endorsements by testing only

Endorsements can be added to a Kansas license by taking and passing a praxis test.  Certain praxis tests are excluded from this:  elementary, early childhood, special ed, and any of the specialists and leadership lcienses.  KSDE currently uses Educational Testing Service (ETS) as the assessments for the Kansas license.  You must check the KSDE and/or ETS websites to be sure that the praxis test you desire to add by testing can be added in this manner.  Some endorsements/licenses can only be added by completing the approved program and by passing the state required praxis test.  The list of Kansas required assessments can be found by going to:  www.ets.org/praxis/ks for the teaching fields.  This list is maintained by ETS with communication from KSDE regarding the current assessments required for Kansas licensing.  ESU has no control over these tests as these are state of Kansas requirements.
