Hey everyone,
I’m currently working toward adding Spanish for middle/high school in California and I’m starting to prepare for the CSET Spanish subtests (145, 146, 147).
For context, I already have a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and a bilingual authorization in CA.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any Discord servers, study groups, or online communities specifically for the Spanish CSET?
Also, if you’ve taken these subtests, I’d really appreciate any resources, study guides, or tips that helped you pass—especially for Subtest I (linguistics) and Subtest III (speaking/writing).
I also had a question about the credential process. Since I already have a Multiple Subject credential, what exactly would I need to add authorization to teach Spanish at the middle or high school level?
Is passing all three CSET Spanish subtests enough to add it, or would I still need to go through a full Single Subject credential program in CA?
Are there any alternative pathways (like adding an authorization, internships, etc.) that would let me teach Spanish in secondary without starting over?
Any advice or experiences would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
