Multiple Measures of Content Competency: All Endorsements

Multiple measures revisions and temporary submission closure 
Changes are coming to teacher licensure and endorsement pathways for the 2025–26 school year to simplify processes, expand access, and align with updated standards.
What’s changing?
• The Praxis 5901 elementary three-subtest bundle will be replaced by the 5903 math exam for Elementary Education and Special Education Generalist endorsements.
• Senate Bill 25-154 extends the use of the Multiple Measures (MM) grades option–previously only for first-time licensure—to licensed teachers seeking to add endorsements in:
◦ Elementary Education
◦ Early Childhood Education
◦ Special Education Generalist
◦ Early Childhood Special Education
What does this mean for you?
These shifts require CDE to revise both the submission process and how the 1,000-review cap will be managed moving forward. The following timeline has been established to implement both sets of changes:
• June 20: Last day to submit MM applications under current requirements
• June 21–July 31: MM submission portal closed for updates; CDE will review all existing submissions
• Aug. 1: MM form reopens with new eligibility criteria
• Sept. 1: Praxis changes go into effect; candidates may apply under the new requirements
As the timing of licensure decisions may be affected, please plan ahead.
