If schools of education use Praxis I for program admission, do they use the current scores set by Professional Standards Advisory Board?
If schools of education want to use the Praxis I basic skills exam as their gateway exam for program entry, then they will use the cut scores already established by the board for the reading, writing and math sections. At a future meeting, the advisory board will be considering an OELD staff recommendation for GRE, SAT and ACT scores as evidence of basic skills proficiency. It is the intent to have several measures of basic skill proficiency from which institutions can select; however the acceptable scores for those measures must be established by the Professional Standards Advisory Board.
