Resources for the GACE® Teacher Leadership Assessment

Upcoming Changes to Test Format

Beginning with the Spring 2019 submission window, the format of the GACE® Teacher Leadership assessment will be revised so that each task will be broken down into three steps. The activities, the guiding prompts, and the rubrics will not change.

Whether you will take the test in the Revised Format with Steps (Test Code 313) or the Original Format (Test Code 303) will depend on the submission window for which you registered.

See the information below to determine which format of the test you will take, and which resources apply.

  • All first-time candidates: Revised Format with Steps
  • Candidates resubmitting for Fall 2018 or earlier: Original Format
  • Candidates resubmitting for Spring 2019 or later: Revised Format with Steps
