What can an Albuquerque Praxis class cover?
The Praxis is a series of tests, all of which are related to the field of teaching. The various Praxis tests cover different topics, but all tests measure the skills and knowledge of potential teachers. One test is the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators, or Core. These exams measure a test taker's understanding of mathematics, writing, and reading. Each subject is split into three different tests. The tests are computer-administered and there is no penalty for incorrect answers. The other type of Praxis examinations is Praxis Subject Assessments. Here, individuals are tested on specific subjects that K-12 educators teach, in addition to general and subject-specific teaching skills and knowledge. With the Praxis Subject Assessments, there are two groups of tests: Subject Assessments, and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) tests. The Subject Assessments section measures general and subject-specific teaching knowledge and skills. The PLT Tests measure general pedagogical knowledge at one of four grade level ranges (Early Childhood, K-6, 5-9, and 7-12). The Praxis Subject Assessments are 1, 2, 2.5, 3.5, or 4 hours long. The number of questions and the length of each test varies from test to test.
How can enrolling in an Albuquerque Praxis class benefit me?
The Praxis examination process can be overwhelming, especially if you are intimidated by timed tests. If the pressure of the Praxis is getting to you, you can feel more at ease with help from a Praxis class. Your class is lead by a skilled and professional instructor with a strong knowledge of the Praxis and its contents. Additionally, your instructor can answer your questions during class. You can ask questions during the live, online lessons to receive the guided help you desire. You are able to feel comfortable with an instructor who not only knows about the Praxis exam, but who also knows how to teach students of all skills levels about the contents of this certification test.
Not only can students interact with their instructor when participating in an Albuquerque Praxis class, but they can also interact with their peers. Through this interactive approach, you can learn about unique learning techniques that can help you feel more comfortable in your materials.
A Praxis class can help you gain a deeper understanding of this exam's materials. The class can also provide you with test-taking advice which you can carry with you throughout your education and your career. You can learn how to pace yourself during the timed portions of the Praxis examinations. You can even learn about making educated guesses which are a way to increase your confidence and test-taking speed as your Praxis testing dates approach.
How can I enroll in an Albuquerque Praxis course?
Praxis courses are designed to help students as they prepare to take their exams. Whether you're a college student or a working professional, the flexibility of these courses can benefit you during the study process. Courses start on a monthly basis, so it's never too late to enroll and start learning. Additionally, courses meet at various times during the day. You are able to sign up for morning, afternoon, evening, or even weekend classes to best benefit your busy schedule. Instead of rearranging your schedule to accommodate your courses, sign up for courses during your free time,
Another perk to enrolling in an Albuquerque Praxis course is that all lessons take place online. Rather making a commute to a new learning location, you can study from the comfort of your own home. You can also learn from your local library, your favorite coffee shop, your college campus, or even your office. You can select a distraction-free and familiar environment with internet access to get the most out of your course.

A tutor or teacher can offer information or ideas. Cooperation with the student is required for learning to occur. I have taught in many environments from basketball coach to snowboard instructor. My education is taking me toward becoming a Math teacher. I look forward to the interactions where I can help students engage with the academic material ... Small goals and recognition of accomplishments are a useful to maintaining motivation.... Learning is rarely independent. We rely on books, teachers, tutors, and the Internet. I believe that the goal is to become a resourceful learner. When a student knows how to seek information, he or she will feel independent and empowered.

My most recent gigs have been hourly / independent contractor / free-lance, which I haven't put on my resume.

And I've been developing materials for several publishers of math textbooks and web-sites....
