Varsity Tutors can help you during your journey to becoming a licensed teacher by enrolling you in a Dayton Praxis course. These tests are commonly used as a way to evaluate prospective teachers through a series of assessments that look at pedagogical skills, subject-specific knowledge, and whether the test taker has a general understanding of reading, writing, and mathematics. Some states use the Praxis tests as part of the licensing process, which means aspiring teachers are required to take and pass the assessments before they can work as educators.
The tests are comprehensive, covering a number of different concepts you'll need to be familiar with while working as a teacher. For this reason, a lot of students prepare through additional courses. Even students from schools such as Wright State University and the University of Dayton have enrolled in an online Dayton Praxis course for extra assistance, and with the help of Varsity Tutors, you can too.
What are some topics a Dayton Praxis class can cover?
The aim of Praxis classes is pretty straightforward. They're designed to help prospective teachers prepare for the Praxis tests while also developing the working knowledge needed to succeed as an educator. The topics covered in these classes are closely aligned with the material you'll find on the actual tests. This means you'll look at ways to improve your analytical writing and critical reading, as well as improve math skills like algebra, statistics, and geometry. You can also dive deeper into more specific concepts, like classroom management and how to manage different age groups. Let's take a closer look at what you'll study by looking at the content covered on the Praxis tests.
The Praxis tests are a series of tests that are arranged into two categories: the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators (Core tests) and the Subject Assessments. Enrolling in a Dayton Praxis class gives you the opportunity to study the content covered in both of these categories. When preparing for the Core test, you'll practice general reading, writing, and math skills. Your class instructor can offer tips for improving these skills, as well as how you can apply your knowledge of these subjects to help you answer questions correctly on the tests. The Subject Assessments focus on more specific topics, like the actual subjects you'll be teaching your students. This part of Praxis includes the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) evaluation. The PLT version you take depends on the age of your students. The versions are: Early Childhood, K-9, 5-9, and 7-12.
What are the advantages of enrolling in a Dayton Praxis class?
The biggest advantage of Praxis classes is the additional preparation you can receive from taking them. Along with helping you review the actual content, these classes can also assist you by helping you to improve your test-taking strategies. The Praxis tests are standardized tests that involve a number of different types of questions including essay and selected-response questions. Some people struggle with standardized tests, not because they don't know the answers, but because they are confused or overwhelmed by the layout of the exams. Doing well on standardized tests is a skill within itself, and you can look at ways to improve that skill by participating in Praxis lessons.
Another great feature you can gain from the Dayton Praxis course is convenience. Lessons are offered at multiple times throughout the week, and when registering, you get to choose which time slot works best with your schedule. Can't find a convenient time this month? Don't worry! New courses are opened at the beginning of every month, so you always have time to reconfigure your schedule. Best of all, the lessons are conducted online via our Live Learning Platform which uses tools like video chat and virtual whiteboards to replicate an in-person learning experience. This means you never have to rush across town to attend a study session. All you need is an internet connection and a computer or portable device and you're ready to log in and start learning.
How can I enroll in a Dayton Praxis prep course?
Are you tired of your current study program and are looking for something that offers more engagement? If so, we're happy to help. All you need to do is contact Varsity Tutors and ask for more information about the Dayton Praxis course. One of our educational consultants can answer any questions you have and if you're ready to begin, we can even enroll you in the next available course.

It is more important that students learn how to solve problems rather than just memorizing facts or formulas. All students are smart in their own way and, teaching should be catered to how students best understand. Ultimately students should understand why what they are learning is important.

David: Dayton PRAXIS course instructor
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.
