Georgia State University
Teacher Educator/Educator Preparation

All students must achieve passing scores on the reading, writing, and mathematics sections of the Praxis I Assessment before they can enroll in designated teacher preparation courses. We offer the following opportunities for students to prepare for the assessment.

Praxis I Preview

Counseling Center, 404/651-2211
http://www.gsu.edu/~wwwcou/

This introductory workshop is designed to acquaint students with basic information about PRAXIS I. The workshop will focus on the three parts of the exam -reading, writing, and mathematics -and will offer strategies for success on each part. Because this program is designed to provide a general overview of the exam and is limited to 2 hours, it cannot provide individualized, intensive preparation. It will, however, offer information on follow-up opportunities for additional preparation in the three areas.

This workshop is cosponsored by the Counseling Center and the College of Education. The workshop is free but prior registration is required. Please call 404/651 2211 for future dates and times and to register.

Praxis I Practice
