Praxis Prep Program
Our new ParaPro and Praxis Preparation Program has been made possible by a grant from NEA’s Center for Great Public Schools. Our support covers the ParaPro assessment, Praxis Core I and some Praxis II assessments.
Our program offers:
- Overview sessions ranging from our back-to-basics skills sessions to assessment specific overviews that cover what is on the test and best resources to use to pass
- Small group study groups for some assessments
- One-to-one tutoring for when you are ready to prep for test day
Three Steps to Get Started:
- Step 1: Attend an overview session—find the next one here.
- Step 2: Join MSEA!
- Step 3: Fill out the needs assessment and participant agreement to request your one-on-one tutor
