CST Swd Online Training Workshop 1
Professor Stein developed this Workshop for Touro College Students to review and prepare for the NYCTCE Content Specialty Test for Students with Disabilities. This is both a review, a training and a test, As you take the training/test preparation you will find assistance with links and videos. Some Touro professors may ask that as part of their course you take the exam and email them the results as part of course requirements. Good News- You can take the test multiple times. Please know however that the questions are randomized so that you will get different questions each time you take this exam. Remember that you can come back to this site to review before you take the actual CST SWD ExamGood Luck,Professor Daniel [email protected] Edu
