Getting close to the end!

ajriggie

I am currently at the half way mark in my course! The units I have created have been fun making and teaching. I have taught 3 out of the 5 lessons in my first unit! I am really excited to start my second unit on American symbols! I have learned a lot about incorporating high order thinking questions and activities. Now when talking to students or designing activities, I have it in the back of my mind to use questioning that allows them to use deeper thinking.

After looking at my schedule for my four remaining courses, I have decided to take the Praxis II and Foundations of Reading exams this summer. I am super nervous as I do not like taking tests, especially test you have to pay for and continue to take and pay for until passed. I will begin with the study guides online and any other resources I can find to help. I have heard the tests are easier that Praxis I and I have also heard they are harder, so I don’t really know what to expect.

Have you take the Praxis !! of the Foundations of Reading exam? How were they? I’m excited to take them and continue on with my courses.

  1. Hey Amanda,
    I am in the same boat as you! I still have to take Praxis II and the Foundations of Reading. I am also contemplating if I should just take it in the summer, or take one test at a time for the Praxis II and then try the Foundations of Reading in the summer. Good luck!

    1. I am really dreading having to take the Praxis II. I looked through the study companion on the ETS site and went through the SS section. There is a lot of things I don’t know about SS, so I am a little overwhelmed in what I should be studying for it.

  2. I too have a few more courses to take and will need to take the Praxis II and Foundations. I have hear the Foundations of Reading test is four hours long and like you some have said hard some have said not so much. I actually have a woman in my school that is taking it in April so we will see. I’m not sure about the Praxis II, I guess we will all find out soon enough. Good luck with your classes!
