Core Academic Skills for Educators
The Praxis Core is an educator exam that higher education institutions use to evaluate candidates for their teaching programs and certain states use as a prerequisite to licensing. It evaluates your math, reading, and writing skills across three tests to ensure you have a strong academic foundation for a successful career in education.
