The PRAXIS Series (PRAXIS I and PRAXIS II)
The Division of Education at IU Kokomo requires successful passage of two parts of the PRAXIS Series: PRAXIS I and PRAXIS II. Each portion is described below. PRAXIS I must be met successfully prior to formal admission into a Teacher Education Program. PRAXIS II exams are specific to the intended licensure area(s). The appropriate exam(s) must be met successfully prior to student teaching.
Very important information is contained in The PRAXIS Series Information Bulletin 2008-09. For example, there is a procedure to request testing accommodations thru Disability Services (page 7) and a process to obtain a fee waiver (page 8). It is highly recommended that you print a copy and read thoroughly. Only a brief summary of PRAXIS I and PRAXIS II is included on this web site. >>> Bulletin
