What are the Praxis exams?

What is the Praxis Series of Tests?

You’ve made the decision to pursue a career in teaching and learn that at least one of the Praxis exams is required by most states for educator licensing and certification. What exactly is a Praxis exam?

Praxis Core Academic Skills

The Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators is designed to measure knowledge and skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. A passing score on the Praxis Core is often required before a candidate begins a teacher education program. These three computer-delivered exams can be taken together for a 5-hour session or separately in 3 individual 2-hour sessions. 

  • The Reading exam includes 56 self-selected response questions focusing on comprehension, integration, and analysis of multiple passages.
  • The Writing portion is divided into two parts:  40 self-selected response questions assessing research strategies and revising and improving text and two writing tasks involving argumentative and explanatory writing types.
  • The Mathematics exam is comprised of 56 self-selected response or numeric entry response questions. To ensure math reasoning is assessed, an on-screen calculator is provided to alleviate errors in arithmetic.

Praxis Subject Assessments

The Praxis Subject Assessments are designed to ensure that prospective educators possess the skills and knowledge necessary to begin teaching. Some colleges and universities require these exams prior to the student teaching experience. The Praxis Subject Assessments encompass more than 90 subjects, specialty areas, and techniques. The exams can measure just content, just pedagogy, or both content and pedagogy as it relates to level (Early Childhood, K-6, 5-9, or 7-12) and/or subject area. Tests can range from 1 – 4 hours in length depending on the test, and the format can include self-selected response items and/or essay questions. 

You should check the ETS website to find out the praxis exams required in your state. 


Praxis Special Education: Knowledge-Based Core Principles - FAQ Sample Questions

With regard to special education, a parent can get prior written notice for all of the following except which one?





Correct Answer:
if a school asks for government help in paying for services.


prior written notice in the context of special education is a legal requirement mandated by the individuals with disabilities education act (idea). this notice ensures that parents of children with disabilities are fully informed about any proposed changes in their child's educational program or the provision of special education and related services. the notice must be given to parents a reasonable time before the school implements any significant change in or refusal to initiate or change the identification, evaluation, or educational placement of their child or the provision of a free appropriate public education (fape) to their child.

the scenarios where prior written notice is required include when a school proposes or refuses to initiate or change the evaluation, identification, educational placement of the child, or the provision of fape. for instance, if a school decides to conduct an evaluation or re-evaluation, change a child's placement into a different classroom or special education program, or begin providing a new service to address a different aspect of a child's disability, the school must provide the parents with prior written notice.

however, the requirement for prior written notice does not extend to the school's internal financial arrangements, such as when a school seeks government help to fund services. this aspect of school management does not directly affect the educational rights or changes in service provision for a child. rather, it pertains to the financial operations and funding mechanisms of the school or district itself. as such, while schools must secure funding to ensure adequate resources are available for providing special education services, the process of obtaining these funds from government sources does not involve changes to a child's educational environment or services that would trigger the need for prior written notice to parents.

thus, parents would not receive prior written notice when a school applies for government assistance to fund services because this action does not alter the educational rights or services being provided to their child. the key factor in issuing prior written notice is whether there is a direct impact on the child's education or the services they receive. notifications are crucial for actions that affect the child's right to an appropriate education but are not necessary for administrative or financial dealings of the school.

An elementary teacher uses puff paint and index cards to create flash cards with raised words.  The words on the cards are: and, is, what, I, am, to, have, see, the, you.  The teacher gives each student several minutes to trace the raised words with their fingers.  If the student is verbal, the teacher has the student say the word while looking at it and tracing it.  If the student is non-verbal, the teacher says the word while the student looks at the word and traces it. The most likely reason that the teacher wants the word spoken at the same time the word is being traced is to ___________________________.





Correct Answer:
increase retention through repetition and the combination of learning modalities
the most likely reason that the teacher wants the word spoken at the same time the word is being traced is to **increase retention through repetition and the combination of learning modalities**.

by having students engage in the activity of looking at the words, tracing the raised letters with their fingers, and either saying the words aloud themselves or hearing them spoken, the teacher is effectively employing a multi-sensory approach to learning. this method leverages different learning modalities — visual, tactile/kinesthetic, and auditory — which caters to the varied ways in which students absorb information.

visual learning occurs as students look directly at each word, helping them recognize and remember the shape and form of the words. tactile or kinesthetic learning is engaged when students physically trace the words with their fingers, which can be particularly beneficial for those who learn best through hands-on activities. auditory learning is used when words are spoken aloud, either by the verbal students themselves or by the teacher for non-verbal students. this auditory component helps to reinforce the word's pronunciation alongside its visual representation.

the repetition of the word in multiple forms (seeing, tracing, hearing) helps to cement the information in the student's memory more effectively than using a single approach. this technique is particularly useful for young learners and those with learning differences, as it ensures that regardless of a student's dominant learning style, multiple senses are engaged, increasing the likelihood of retention.

furthermore, the act of simultaneously engaging in these activities can enhance focus and attention to the task, reducing the likelihood of distraction and increasing the effectiveness of the learning session. by integrating these multiple forms of learning, the teacher maximizes educational impact and fosters a more inclusive classroom environment where each student has the opportunity to access the learning material in a way that best suits their individual learning needs.
