EDUCATION CAREERS
TEACHER CERTIFICATION EXAMS
1. PRAXIS, part of the ETS, Educational Testing Services, are qualifying exams prior to granting teaching licenses.  These tests measure two things–one, core competency of one’s subject and two, your ability to actually teach.
Wikipedia has a good explanation as to what the word praxis means:  In Ancient Greek the word praxis (πρᾶξις) referred to activity engaged in by free menAristotle held that there were three basic activities of an: theoriapoiesis and praxis. There corresponded to these kinds of activity three types of knowledge: theoretical, to which the end goal was truth; poietical, to which the end goal was production; and practical, to which the end goal was action. Aristotle further divided practical knowledge into ethics, economics, and politics. He also distinguished between eupraxia (εὐπραξία, “good praxis”) [2]  and dyspraxia  (δυσπραξία, “bad praxis, misfortune”).
