I'm in the process of planning Praxis Core Boot Camps for this summer and want to find out if you're interested in attending. The Boot Camps will be offered to you at no charge if you are a current Teacher Ed student, or if you have been within the past year.
UTTC's Teacher Ed is committed to helping you prepare for the PRAXIS I (Core) exams. You can participate in
one of the Boot Camps, or all three, depending on your need.
A Praxis Core Boot Camp is three days of intense instruction and practice in Reading, Writing and Math. The first one will be offered June 19 - June 22, for four hours each day.
You will take the Praxis Core test(s) immediately after completing the Boot Camp.
Childcare will be available at the UTTC Child Development Center for registered children up to age 6. Each Boot Camp will need a minimum of 3 people or it will be re-scheduled.
Please send an email to Jen Heid at jheid@uttc.edu if you are interested in attending.
Thank you!

Update on Praxis Core Tests & Student Teaching
The voucher process to take the Praxis Core tests has changed. Instead of you getting a voucher in the mail, ETS (the company) now allows us to order the vouchers in bulk. This means when we place an order, instead of you getting vouchers, we will get a bunch of codes to for you. When you register for the test, you enter the code and you're set. Jen ordered some codes so they should be in soon.
I'm sure a number of you are hoping to student teach this fall. The deadline for applications is March 9th for preference in placement. If you have your application in by this date, you have a really good chance of getting a placement.
If you still have to pass some, or all, of your Praxis Core tests, that doesn't necessarily mean you won't be student teaching this fall. The March 9th date is for preference only. You can still take your tests, and if you pass, you can still apply for student teaching. If there are classrooms open, you might still get placed. It's basically a "first come, first placed" type setting.
It's up to you. Some of you have studied and taken your tests. Others have been putting them off for various reason. It's up to you. We would sure like to have you study and take the tests but that's your decision. You have to want to do this, like really want it and decide you're going to study hard and go for it.
Make a commitment to yourself to give it a really good try. Study, study and study some more. Then take the test again and again, until you pass. You've come a long way so keep going, just a little bit more!!!
