What is Praxis?
The Praxis II content tests are developed by Educational Testing Service (ETS) to measure candidates’ knowledge of the subjects they will teach, as well as general and subject -specific pedagogical skills and knowledge. State offices of education require these tests for teacher education candidates to measure the academic achievement and proficiency of individuals completing teacher preparation programs.
