Praxis I to be Replaced by Praxis CORE
The Praxis I refers to
the Pre-Professional Skills Tests (reading, writing & math) currently required
for teacher certification in Maryland. Starting
in September 2014, teacher candidates who have not yet passed the Praxis I will
be required to take the Praxis Core.
Students
completing an AAT degree at AACC, must complete this testing requirement in
order to graduate.
Students who do not have passing scores by the end
of August 2014, will need to take the new Praxis CORE. Students
will not be able to combine passing scores on the Praxis I with those on the
Praxis Core.
If you took the SAT, ACT or GRE, you may already
have qualifying test scores. Visit bitly.com/satpraxis to find out.
Who
should take the Praxis I this summer?
·
Students who have started
taking, but have not
yet passed the Praxis I
·
Students planning to
graduate in Fall 2014 or Spring 2015
·
Students who have already
completed a college level math course (especially MAT 221)
·
Students who have
completed the English requirement (ENG 111 & 112 or ENG 121)
