Praxis II Policy Implementation
Effective Fall 2006 |
Beginning
Fall 2006,
students
must submit
passing
Praxis
scores
prior to
student
teaching.
If you plan
to student
teach in
Fall 2006,
you must
submit your
passing
score by
August 15,
2006 to the
Teacher
Education
Admissions
and
Retention
Office.
If you plan
to student
teach in
Spring 2007,
you must
submit your
passing
score(s) by
Monday,
January 8,
2007.
Q: If I
don't have
passing
scores ready
before
registration
begins,
should I go
ahead and
register for
student
teaching
anyway?
A: Yes. Do
not wait to
receive
passing
scores
before
registering.
Q: What
should I do
if I do not
pass by the
deadline?
A: If you
have not
passed all
of the
required
Praxis tests
and
submitted
the scores
to the
Teacher
Education
Admissions
and
Retention
Office by
the
appropriate
deadline
(August 15th
for fall
2006 student
teachers,
January 8,
2007 for
Spring 2007
student
teachers),
you will not
be eligible
to student
teach as
scheduled.
Q: If I
am not able
to student
teach as
planned,
what then?
A: You have
several
options to
choose from:
1.
If
you have
other
courses to
take, we
encourage
you to take
them
instead.
2.
If
you have no
further
courses to
take, you
may take a
leave of
absence for
up to two
semesters.
To request a
leave of
absence you
must follow
University
guidelines
as detailed
in the
Undergraduate
Catalog or
at the
Graduate
School Web
site and
submit your
request to
the
appropriate
University
officials.
You must
also notify
the Center
of Pedagogy
of your
intention to
take a leave
of absence.
3.
You
may audit a
course that
you feel
will assist
you in
preparing to
pass the
Praxis.
4.
Undergraduates
in the
early
childhood,
elementary,
music,
physical
education,
and/or
health
programs
may
request the
CEHS Dean's
consent to
forego
student
teaching and
graduate
without
certification.
Should a
student
choose this
option then
later wish
to return to
the
University
to complete
his/her
certification,
s/he must
apply to the
appropriate
program.
Note: A
student who
returns
within 2
semesters
may complete
her/his
program by
taking the
equivalent
remaining
courses at
the graduate
level. A
student who
returns 3-10
semesters
later may be
required to
retake one
or more
courses or
take
additional
coursework
as
determined
by the
certification
area
department.
Students who
return after
10 semesters
may be
required to
retake the
entire
professional
sequence
leading to
certification
regardless
of courses
taken as an
undergraduate.
Q: What
if I pass
the Praxis
test(s) but
do not turn
in my scores
by the
deadline?
A: You will
not be
allowed to
student
teach that
semester.
The Center
of Pedagogy
must
complete an
audit of
potential
student
teachers by
this date
(August 15th
for Fall
2006 student
teachers,
January 8th
for Spring
2007 student
teachers) in
order to
notify
school
districts in
a timely
manner if a
student will
not be
coming as
expected.
Once a
school is
notified
that a
student is
not student
teaching,
that
decision
will not be
reversed and
the student
must delay
student
teaching for
a semester.
Therefore,
it is
imperative
that
students
take this
deadline
seriously so
as not to
jeopardize
their
academic
plans.
