If you're studying to become a teacher, Varsity Tutors can assist you along the way by enrolling you in an Atlanta Praxis course designed to help you get ahead. Praxis tests are commonly used to assess the knowledge and academic skills of prospective teachers, as well as their ability to apply those skills when teaching in the classroom. Some states administer these tests as part of their licensing process, which is why it's important for aspiring teachers to approach these assessments with the knowledge and understanding needed to succeed. Even top students enrolled in teaching programs at Georgia State University and Clark Atlanta University can struggle with Praxis tests if they aren't properly prepared, which is why we recommend enrolling in an Atlanta Praxis course like the ones offered by Varsity Tutors. Let's take a look at some of the ways these courses can help increase your chances of scoring well on your upcoming Praxis assessments.
What are some topics an Atlanta Praxis class can cover?
The goal of Praxis classes is simple: help prospective teachers sharpen their teaching skills so that they're prepared for the Praxis tests and are better equipped to manage classrooms. The topics covered on these classes are closely aligned with the topics you'll find on the actual Praxis tests. Everything from your general knowledge of math, reading, and writing to different pedagogical approaches will be covered in these classes. Read on to see what content you can expect to cover in these classes.
The Praxis tests are divided into two categories, Praxis Subject Assessments and the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators. Both categories look at your teaching abilities, but in different ways. The Subjects Assessments tests look at your general knowledge of academic abilities but focus primarily on how well you understand the subjects you'll be teaching. This section of the Praxis includes the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) evaluation, which covers pedagogical skills and how to teach different age groups. The PLT test you take depends on the students you're working with. The versions are Early Childhood, K-9, 5-9, and 7-12.
The Core assessment is made of three tests, a reading, writing, and mathematics test. You can take these tests separately or complete them all within the same day. Praxis classes can help you prepare for these tests by covering concepts like algebra, statistics, and geometry, as well as helping you sharpen your persuasive writing and critical reading skills.
Participating in an Atlanta Praxis course can help you with all the topics mentioned above, in addition to covering important test-taking strategies. Many students struggle with the Praxis tests because of their standardized format, which includes essay and selected-response questions. But prep courses can help you learn how to mentally prepare for the test format, in addition to covering ways to improve your time management and organizational skills. This can all help with preventing confusion and test-day jitters from affecting your performance when it's time to take the assessments.
What are the advantages of enrolling in an Atlanta Praxis course?
There are a number of advantages that come with studying through our Praxis course. For starters, lessons are conducted in a virtual classroom over the Live Learning Platform. You use video chat and virtual whiteboards to follow along with your professional instructor as they cover the curriculum of the course. This means you never have to worry about commuting across town to participate in a study program. As long as you have internet access and are available during the weekly meeting times, you can hop on and participate in the lessons.
Another thing that's great about the classes is the focus on participation. As you learn important concepts, you're able to conduct in-class discussions with your peers and lecturer. This means that you can dive a little deeper into the material, share ideas, and explore ways to apply your knowledge as a teacher. Many students find this collaborative approach helpful when trying to understand important concepts.
How can I enroll in an Atlanta Praxis prep course?
A lot of students need engagement beyond self-study. If you're someone who's not getting the results you're looking for out of study packets and textbooks, we can help. Contact Varsity Tutors and speak with one of our educational consultants about the Atlanta Praxis course. They can answer any questions you have, and if you're ready to begin, they'll even register you for the next available course that works with your schedule. New courses are opened at the beginning of every month, so you never have to worry about being left behind.
