EDU101Praxis

//**Praxis** is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted or practiced, embodied and/or realized. "Praxis" may also refer to the act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing, or practicing ideas.//

In the education realm, the Praxis is the name of a test administered by Educational Testing Service. According to their [|website]: //"The Praxis Series// assessments provide educational tests and other services that states use as part of their teaching licensing certification process. The //Praxis I//® tests measure basic academic skills, and the //Praxis II//® tests measure general and subject-specific knowledge and teaching skills."

[| Passing Praxis I] (all 3 parts: math, reading, and writing) is [|one of Maine's requirements to be a teacher] and so it is one of the [|requirements to be a Secondary/Middle Education major.]

The [|Center for Student Development] has resources to help you prepare for the [|Praxis I test]. They also can assist with registration for the test.

It is possible to get the [|fee waivered] on a financial need basis. A student must register by paper for a fee waiver, they cannot go on line to register.

Do you feel like you'll need/want help on the mathematics portion of Praxis I? [|UMF's Math Clinic] offers services specifically for Praxis preparation!
