If you're interested in becoming a teacher and have embarked on your professional journey, Varsity Tutors can help by enrolling you in a Raleigh-Durham Praxis course designed to help you get ahead. Many teachers are given Praxis tests as a way to measure their knowledge of educational content and pedagogical skills, which is why some states require aspiring teachers to pass the tests before receiving their professional license. Due to the comprehensive nature of these assessments, which touches on everything from classroom management to concepts involving math, reading, and writing, many students choose to enroll in programs to help them prepare for test day. Even students from institutions like North Carolina State University and North Carolina Central University have benefitted from learning through a Raleigh-Durham Praxis course like the one provided by Varsity Tutors. Let's take a look at how these lessons can help you prepare.
What are some topics a Raleigh-Durham Praxis class can cover?
The goal of Praxis classes is to help prospective teachers become comfortable with the material covered on the tests. The content you'll encounter in the lessons will be closely aligned with what you need to know to pass your assessments. You can expect to cover a number of different academic topics, including algebra, geometry, critical reading, and essay writing. In addition to that, you'll also have the opportunity to focus on topics directly related to the subjects you intend to teach.
A lot of material is covered on the Praxis tests. The assessment is split up into two categories: the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators and the Praxis Subject Assessments. When studying for the Core tests, you'll be given a broad range of curriculum that looks at your general academic knowledge in math, reading, and writing, focusing on ways to draw upon those skills to improve your teaching abilities. The Subject Assessments focus primarily on the content you'll be teaching once you become a certified teacher. This section of the Praxis also contains the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) evaluation, which measures your pedagogical skills and whether they're appropriate for the age group you're teaching. For this reason, there are multiple versions of the PLT test depending on the age of your students. Those groupings are Early Childhood, K-6, 5-9, and 7-12. Enrolling in a Raleigh-Durham Praxis class can help you cover all these subjects and skills through guided instruction.
What are the advantages of enrolling in a Raleigh-Durham Praxis course?
While self-study can help you memorize the test material, it can't help you prepare for the actual test the same way an actual course can. The Praxis tests are a series of standardized tests following multiple formats, including essay and selected-response questions. People who aren't familiar with standardized testing often struggle with the questions, not because they don't know the answers, but because they become confused or overwhelmed with the layout. Participating in this course is a great way to learn how to improve your test-taking skills, learn how to manage your time more effectively, and even look at ways to identify and apply important information more effectively.
Another advantage of the course is convenience. Lessons are conducted online via our Live Learning Platform. When you first register for the course, you decide which available time slot works best for your schedule. There are a number of available slots to choose from, so finding one that's convenient for you shouldn't be hard. And if you aren't able to squeeze lessons into your schedule this month, don't worry! New courses are opened at the beginning of every month, so you'll never be left behind. What's more, since the courses are conducted in an online classroom, you also never have to worry about commuting across town to attend your study session. As long as you've got a computer or portable device and internet connection, you can hop on and engage with your instructor and classmates.
Finally, our Praxis course encourages collaboration and participation. Using video chat and virtual whiteboards, you can follow along with your instructor as they cover various concepts. As you're learning, feel free to engage in classroom discussions with your peers and the instructor. Many students find this aspect one of the biggest advantages of online courses, because of how it helps them gain a deeper understanding of the material and how they can apply what they've learned on the actual tests.
How can I enroll in a Raleigh-Durham Praxis prep course?

All you need to do is contact Varsity Tutors today and ask for more information about the Raleigh-Durham Praxis course. One of our educational consultants can answer any questions you have, and they'll even enroll you in the next available course that works with your schedule. Reach out today!
