Candidates must score proficient in the topic to pass that section. Candidates can
retake topic areas that did not receive a proficient score during one of the next testing
windows. Candidates can register for retakes during any testing window up to one year
from the initial testing.
General Design
The Online Teaching performance assessment consists of four topics in which the

topic may include written planning and reflection, course-building demonstration, and
uploading artifacts. Sample lesson plans have been included as examples to develop
your lesson plans. These resources are provided to you to help you as you begin
building your course. See below:
