Praxis I

Praxis I, also known as the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST), is a series of assessments designed to evaluate the basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics of individuals who wish to enter teacher education programs. It serves as a measure of general knowledge and helps ensure that prospective teachers possess the foundational skills necessary for effective teaching. Passing Praxis I is often a requirement for admission into many educational institutions’ teacher preparation programs, helping to maintain standards in the teaching profession.
