Reviews for the 268 Principal As Instructional Leader is available through ESC 13. More information will be forthcoming about these and any TAMUCC hosted reviews. In order to be approved to re-test on the 268, students must participate in a review session provided either by ESC 13 or the TAMUCC faculty and share the participation certificate to be approved to re-test.
Students who completed a Masters degree in Educational Administration who have never taken or did not pass the 068 principal exam and seek to pass the 268 exam will be required to take these courses at their own expense prior to being approved to take the new 268 Principal Exam: EDAD 5304, EDAD 5376, EDAD 5377, EDAD 5378, EDAD 5399. Due to considerable changes in content between the 068 and 268 exams, the retaking of these courses is needed to ensure student success on the new 268 Principal Exam. Please be aware that in addition to the requirement for passing the 268 exam, certification as a principal in Texas now also requires successful submission and completion of the PASL. More information is available about both the #268 and PASL at this link: https://www.tx.nesinc.com/PageView.aspx?f=HTML_FRAG/GENRB_FacultyPASL.html.
228.40(d) An EPP shall determine the readiness of each candidate to take the appropriate certification examination of content, pedagogy, and professional responsibilities, including professional ethics and standards of conduct. An EPP shall not grant test approval for a certification examination until a candidate has met all of the requirements for admission to the EPP and has been contingently or formally admitted into the EPP. An EPP may make test approval contingent on a candidate completing additional coursework and/or training to show that the candidate is prepared to pass the test if the candidate is seeking test approval from the EPP in an area where the standards and/or test changed since the candidate completed the EPP or if the candidate has returned to the EPP for test approval five or more years following the academic year of completion.
