Praxis Technology Education case studies
Praxis Technology Education · Put your knowledge to work in context.
Praxis Technology Education is one of the Praxis Subject Assessments that ETS describes as measuring "core teaching skills and subject knowledge for educator licensing in the U.S." Candidates typically take a technology education subject test when a state requires it for a license or endorsement to teach technology and engineering education, industrial technology, or a closely related classroom subject, often at the middle or high school level. Because each state sets its own certification requirements, the test you register for - and whether this one is required at all - depends on your state's rules, so confirm them before scheduling. The Praxis Technology Education case studies are 5 cases and about 3,398 words.
