Student Success Triad:

Research, Assessment, and Curriculum Development
A Model for Praxis Preparation


Preparing Competent, Compassionate, Cooperative and Committed Leaders

The Student Success Triad: Research, Assessment and Curriculum Development, a Title III activity is designed to improve the Praxis scores for pre-service teacher education candidates. The Virginia State Department of Education has put in place policies that require pre-service teacher education candidates to pass Praxis I with a composite score of 532.

The goal of this project is to develop a model that can be replicated among other teacher education programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities that will assist teacher education candidates in passing the Praxis examination. This will in turn address the critical shortage of minority teachers in public school systems.


Praxis I Exam Preparation Plan

The Student Success Triad's Praxis I Exam Preparation Program consists of an initial evaluation using a pre-test and personal interview. After initial testing and evaluation, a personalized test preparation plan is developed for each student.
 

Purpose
 

The purpose of the test preparation plan is to focus on each weakness and transform them into strengths. Instructors and students work as a team in exclusivity and hourly sessions in the designated Praxis preparation lab. The most import feature of the preparation plan is the individualized and personalized approach that blends computer-aided tutorials with one-on-one tutoring and small group basic skills development workshops.
