RE: New Grades 5-6 Add-on Option for Grades PK-4 Certificate Holders
The Pennsylvania Department of Education is pleased to announce that we are offering a Grades 5-6 testing add-on option for the Grades PK-4 certificate only.
Interested PreK-4 teacher preparation candidates may take two modules:
- The Grades 4-8: Module 2 – English Language Arts & Social Studies (5154)
- The Grades 4-8: Module 3 – Mathematics & Science (5155)
Candidates may take these modules during or after the PK-4 program and apply for them simultaneously, but the evaluation of the Grades Prek-4 requirements will be evaluated first and the Grades 5-6 add on certificate will only be granted once the PK-4 certificate is approved.
For more information please refer to Certification Testing information on the PDE website.

Bureau of School Leadership and Teacher Quality Pennsylvania Department of Education
