Interested in becoming a School Teacher? To meet the Maryland State Department of Education’s (MSDE) certification requirements, students must submit qualifying scores for the Pre-Professional Skills Tests (Praxis Core). Students must obtain minimum passing scores for the Praxis Core tests prior to applying to the professional teacher education programs.
We offer both In-Person and Online Courses for Praxis Core Preparation. Our courses are designed to review the three content areas, and teach students test taking strategies.
