When taking the ATS-W (Assessment of Teaching Skills-Written) Examination, candidates must write an essay based on an assigned prompt. In order to write the essay, candidates should follow a three-step process: first, decode the assignment to see what the test evaluators are really asking; second, consider what content your essay will need; third, use an appropriate format for the essay.
