A Boulder Praxis prep course offered by Varsity Tutors could be a solid educational resource as you approach your exams. Teacher certification requirements vary based on your geographical location and the type of teaching career you want to pursue. With that said, many teachers need to take the Praxis test, and it's a widely recognized certification across many states. If you're thinking about pursuing this certification, you can expect a fairly challenging exam process. You'll be tested on a wide range of different teaching concepts and subjects, and a prep course might be exactly what you need to reach for your full potential.
The Praxis test is divided into two main segments: Praxis Core and Praxis Subject Assessments. Praxis Core is a more generalized assessment of your core teaching abilities in three important subjects: Reading, Writing, and Math. On the other hand, Praxis Subject Assessments may vary drastically based on your unique career goals, and the specific subjects you wish to teach. These subjects might include anything from Kindergarten to Grade 12 levels. One common choice for new teachers is Praxis Elementary Education: Content Knowledge For Teaching.
A prep course might help you figure out exactly what you need to learn based on the specific Praxis tests you're planning on taking. Since the Praxis tests can be so varied, a prep course might allow you to target the exact topics you need to review. You might already have a solid educational background from institutions like the University of Colorado in Denver or the University of Colorado in Boulder. While these university programs might have prepared you to pursue an education in teaching, there's still plenty more to learn as you approach your Praxis tests. You might encounter some surprises as you take your Praxis test, and it's always helpful to study the unique format and structure that Praxis follows. Because of these factors, a prep course is always a smart choice in addition to your past university courses.
What Might I Learn In A Boulder Praxis Course?
You'll cover all of the relevant topics for your test during a Boulder Praxis course. These exams are mostly computer-administered with time limits of up to four hours each. The number of questions for each test might vary dramatically based on the subject and focus of the test. Generally speaking, there are no penalties for incorrect answers.
Unliked the varied nature of the different Praxis Subject Assessments, you can be pretty certain about what subjects you'll face in the Praxis Core tests. Reading, Writing and Math sections will test abilities such as document analysis, using different types of writing, language, and math skills.
How Does A Boulder Praxis Course Help Me Learn?
Your Boulder Praxis course will take a highly interactive, collaborative approach to studying. You can access these fully online courses from anywhere in the world, as long as you have access to a computer with an internet connection. As soon as you sign in to your virtual classroom, you'll discover that there's a significant emphasis on class discussion. Instructors will guide you through the various concepts related to your Praxis tests, but they also encourage you to ask questions and make comments. Other students will ask their own questions and raise relevant points, leading to lively, productive exchanges of ideas. You might find that this approach gels well with your unique learning style and leads to a deeper understanding of the course material. Instructors are highly qualified experts, and they must go through extensive vetting. Successful candidates display excellent communication skills, and they're happy to speak with you on a one-on-one basis if you need extra support outside of class sessions.
How Do I Sign Up For A Boulder Praxis Class?
When you sign up for your Boulder Praxis class, you'll choose from a number of flexible scheduling options. These include night classes, weekend classes, and even classes on your lunch break. You can also choose between two and four-week classes, with new classes starting up every month. Because of these flexible options, a Boulder Praxis class might be ideal for working professionals or university students with busy schedules. While studying by yourself is definitely an option, a prep class offers an extremely structured and efficient pathway for teaching professionals. And because these tests can have a serious impact on your future career, it's definitely worth taking the time to study as best you can. Invest in an option that allows you to reach for your full potential, and contact Varsity Tutors today to sign up for your first Boulder Praxis class.

David: Boulder PRAXIS course instructor
A tutor or teacher can offer information or ideas. Cooperation with the student is required for learning to occur. I have taught in many environments from basketball coach to snowboard instructor. My education is taking me toward becoming a Math teacher. I look forward to the interactions where I can help students engage with the academic material ... Small goals and recognition of accomplishments are a useful to maintaining motivation.... Learning is rarely independent. We rely on books, teachers, tutors, and the Internet. I believe that the goal is to become a resourceful learner. When a student knows how to seek information, he or she will feel independent and empowered.
