The Educating All Students exam stands between you and your own classroom. Let's close the gap.
The five-day EAS Prep Course that gets teacher candidates ready for New York's Educating All Students exam: five focused lessons, a diagnostic that tells you where to spend your time, and a full-length practice test, all built around what the EAS is actually testing.
Most candidates study for the EAS like it's a content exam. It isn't.
The EAS asks forty selected-response questions and three written responses, all built on five competencies:
- Diverse student populations
- English language learners
- Students with disabilities
- Teacher responsibilities
- And school-home relationships
It's not testing whether you memorized a textbook. It's testing whether you know what a good teacher actually does when a real student, a real family, or a real classroom situation is in front of them.
Without a clear plan, most candidates do one of two things:
- They read through a dense, months-long study guide meant for a totally different kind of exam
- Or they skip straight to practice questions with no framework for why an answer is right, and guess their way through the rest.
Neither works.
The candidates who pass are not the ones who know the most facts. They're the ones who can recognize the pattern behind a right answer. And once you see that pattern, it holds for nearly every question on the exam.
Introducing the EAS Prep Course
A structured, five-day online course built specifically for New York teacher candidates preparing for the Educating All Students exam.
Every competency is covered, every pattern the exam rewards is taught, and the course is designed to be finished in about an hour a day, because most candidates aren't studying for this exam in isolation. They are student teaching, working, or juggling both.
Built by a school leader with more than twenty years in schools, as both a teacher and a principal, someone who has sat on the committees this test asks about and made the phone calls is asking about.
No four-week program for a test you are taking in nine days. Just what gets you to a passing 520.
GET THE COURSEHere is what you get:
START
Diagnostic
Before anything else, you take a forty-question diagnostic test. It is untimed, and it is not there to grade you; it is there to show you exactly which of the five competencies is going to cost you points, so you know where to slow down.
DAY 1
Diverse Student Populations
The largest competency on the exam. You will learn the core distinction nearly every question is testing (difference as a deficit or difference as an asset), proactive ways to learn about your students, universal design for learning, and the specific rules the exam expects you to know for students experiencing homelessness, students in foster care, students with interrupted or limited formal education, and students living in poverty.
DAY 2
English Language Learners
The most fact-heavy competency on the exam. You will cover the five stages of second language acquisition, the difference between social and academic language (BICS and CALP), the four legal cases that show up on the Educating All Students exam, and New York's specific identification process, all built around one governing rule: scaffold the language; don't water down the content.
DAY 3
Students with Disabilities & Other Special Learning Needs
More law than anywhere else on the exam, held in a small and learnable body of knowledge. IDEA's core guarantees, how Section 504 differs from IDEA, the accommodation versus modification distinction that appears on nearly every version of the EAS, and what to do when discipline and disability intersect.
DAY 4
Teacher Responsibilities & School-Home Relationships
The two smallest competencies, covered together, and the two most likely to cost you a point on something you simply never learned. Mandated reporting, FERPA, New York's Dignity for All Students Act, and how the Educating All Students exam wants you to build a real partnership with families.
DAY 5
The Constructed Response
The most important hour of the week. A three-move structure- Cite, Choose, Connect- for turning your knowledge into a written response that actually scores, plus a side-by-side look at a weak response and a strong one built from the same scenario.
FINISH
Full-Length Practice Test
A complete, timed practice test with all new questions and all three written responses, so test day holds zero surprises and you walk into your Educating All Students exam fully prepared.
By the end of this course, you will:
- Know the pattern behind almost every Educating All Students exam question, not just the content
- Understand exactly what each of the five competencies is testing and why
- Be able to write a constructed response that cites, chooses, and connects, not just describes
- Know the handful of laws, cases, and definitions this exam relies on
- Have completed a full-length, timed practice test under real conditions
- Walk in knowing this is a learnable exam, not a coin flip.
The Educating All Students Prep Course is for you if:
- You're testing for the Educating All Students exam soon and don't have weeks to spare on a long program
- You've read a dense study guide and still don't know what this exam actually wants
- You want a diagnostic that tells you where to focus, not a one-size-fits-all review
- The constructed response worries you more than the multiple-choice does
- You'd rather have five focused days than a stack of unrelated practice questions
Built by an educator. Backed by experience.

That means no filler, no four-week program for a test you are taking in nine days, and no generic advice. Just the specific patterns, laws, and language the exam rewards, taught by someone who has lived them.
