Report of Praxis II® Licensure Tests Now Available
Recent Trends in Mean Scores and Characteristics of Test-Takers on Praxis II Licensure Tests (2010) has been published by the U.S. Department of Education. This study examines changes in teacher licensure scores from 1999 to 2006. The study focuses specifically on nine tests in the Praxis II series because these tests are among the most widely used assessments across multiple states for purposes of measuring content knowledge for initial teacher licensure. The purpose of this study is to identify trends in Praxis scores on a select number of tests across recent years and across as many states as possible. Analyses are disaggregated by passing status, gender, race and whether or not the test candidate has prior teaching experience.
The report is available by visiting the U.S. Department of Education's website at www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/opepd/ppss/reports.html#tq
