Praxis SpEd Behavioral/Emotional case studies

The Praxis Special Education: Behavioral/Emotional test is a subject assessment used by many states as one part of the licensure process for teachers who will work with students with emotional and behavioral disabilities. It is typically taken by candidates completing an educator-preparation program in special education, by teachers adding an endorsement, and by out-of-state applicants seeking reciprocity. Rather than testing generic pedagogy, the exam asks you to reason about the full cycle of services for students with behavioral and emotional needs: legal foundations and referral, characteristics and identification, assessment, instructional planning and delivery, behavior management and intervention, social-emotional learning, collaboration with families and colleagues, and ethical professional practice. Most items are selected-response scenarios set in classrooms, IEP meetings, and consultation sessions, and some versions include a short constructed-response task. The Praxis SpEd Behavioral/Emotional case studies are 5 cases and about 3,034 words.
