Testing Notes
Pearson's Foundation of Reading and General Curriculum Tests are required for licensure in both Elementary and EC - General Curriculum.

The Licensure Section will not automatically add Elementary Education to a EC - General Curriculum license.

At the request of the applicant and with the required processing fee, the Elementary area may be added to a clear non-restricted license.

Pearson NC Website - http://www.nc.nesinc.com for additional Elementary and EC-General Curriculum test information

ETS Website - https://www.ets.org/praxis/nc for a list of NC SBE approved praxis tests
