If you're an aspiring teacher just beginning your professional journey, Varsity Tutors can help you by enrolling you in a Denver Praxis course. The Praxis tests are used to measure your knowledge and academic skills and how well you're able to apply these elements in the classroom. They're commonly taken by aspiring teachers and in some states, they're a part of the professional licensing process. Many students participate in additional lessons to help them review for the Praxis tests, even top education students at institutions like the University of Colorado Denver and Metropolitan State University of Denver. If you're looking for assistance with your Praxis tests, we can help. Read on to find out how our online courses can improve the way you study and prepare.
What are some topics a Denver Praxis class can cover?
Praxis classes aim to help prospective teachers review important concepts they'll need to draw upon while working as educations, as well as prepare them for the Praxis tests. As such, the topics covered in the classes will be closely aligned with the material you'll find on the tests. Lessons will cover subjects like reading, writing, and mathematics, as well as a mixture of general and subject-specific teaching skills. Let's take a closer look at some of the material you can expect to review in the class.
The Praxis tests are broken up into two categories, Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators and Praxis Subject Assessments. The core exam is comprised of three separate tests: reading, writing, and mathematics. You can take them on different days or have them compiled into a single long-form test you can take at once. These tests are comprehensive and designed to evaluate your skills and overall knowledge.
The Subject Assessments also evaluate your general teaching knowledge, as well as your understanding of the specific subjects you're teaching. Here, you'll also be given a Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) evaluation that measures your pedagogical knowledge for the age group you're working with. The version of the PLT test you're given depends on the grade you're teaching. The groupings are Early Childhood, K-6, 5-9, and 7-12.
Enrolling in a Denver Praxis class can help you prepare for all the topics mentioned above. On top of that, the lessons are a great way to learn how to mentally prepare for the tests as well. Praxis tests cover several different topics using selected-response and essay questions. Studying in an online prep class can help you learn how to improve your study habits and organizational skills, making it easier to extract important information from the test, and can even help you become accustomed to the testing format.
What are the advantages of enrolling in a Denver Praxis course?
The Denver Praxis course is conducted online via our Live Learning Platform. Using video chat and a virtual whiteboard, you will follow the curriculum taught by a professional instructor. This enables you to learn in a structured environment from someone who's familiar with the tests and knows which subjects to prioritize. This offers a clear advantage over self-study by ensuring you use your study time more effectively, focusing on the content that really matters.
Another great thing about these courses is the opportunity for collaboration. As you move through the curriculum, you'll be given the chance to hold in-class discussions with your instructor and peers. This is great for diving a little deeper into the content, sharing tips, and exploring ways to apply what you've learned practically as a teacher. Many students who've participated in the Praxis course have found this collaborative approach to be one of the most effective learning methods, making it easier for them to understand and memorize important concepts.
How can I enroll in a Denver Praxis prep course?
Are you searching for a new way to prepare for the Praxis tests? If your self-study regimen isn't giving you the results you had hoped for, don't worry. You're not alone. A lot of people perform better in a collaborative learning environment like the one offered by Varsity Tutors, and you can too. All you need to do is contact Varsity Tutors and speak with one of their educational consultants about the Denver Praxis prep course. They can answer any questions you have so that you're able to make the best decision for your future. If you do decide to register for a course, they'll even enroll you in the next available one that works with your schedule. Best of all, new courses open up at the beginning of every month, so you never have to worry about being left behind.

It is more important that students learn how to solve problems rather than just memorizing facts or formulas. All students are smart in their own way and, teaching should be catered to how students best understand. Ultimately students should understand why what they are learning is important.
