Praxis Core Test Voucher Process
The voucher process to take the Praxis Core tests has changed.
Instead of you getting a voucher in the mail, ETS (the company) now
allows us to order the vouchers in bulk. This means when we place an
order, instead of you getting vouchers, we will get a bunch of codes to
for you. When you register for the test, you enter the code and you're
set. Jen ordered some codes so they should be in soon.
If you are hoping to student teach this fall, read this message closely. The deadline for applications is March 9th for preference in placement. If you have your application in by this date, you will get a placement. Applications get handed in to me so I can review them for you.
If you still have to pass some, or all, of your Praxis Core tests, that doesn't necessarily mean you won't be student teaching this fall. The March 9th date is for preference only. You can still take your tests, and if you pass, you can still apply for student teaching. If there are classrooms open, you might still get placed. It's basically a "first come, first placed" type setting.
You must have taken the three Praxis Core tests, and met the minimum scores, in order to apply for student teaching.
For those of you just starting in the Bachelors program, don't way too long to take these tests. The earlier the better so you can get them done. You should take these tests during your second year.
I will be meeting with all of the Sage scholars (that's you) as a group sometime in the next month and explain the process for those of you who are new. This will also be a good time for you to ask any questions you might have.

Fall Semester Wrap-Up
We are nearing the end of the fall 2016 semester with only four weeks remaining. For those of you who are new to Project Sage, the grant refers to you as "scholars". It's a Dept of Ed term. 😊
A few things:
A few things:
- If this is your first semester in the project, make sure you complete the application process. The last part of the application is meeting with me so we can sign the service obligation agreement.
- If this is not your first semester, and you are a returning scholar, make sure you have taken your Praxis Core so we can get you registered for spring. I had posted a reminder on this blog back in September to get this done so don't delay!
- The end of the Sage fiscal year is Dec. 31 so I need to process your student support for fall no later than the next few weeks. If you haven't received your support yet, it's because you still have things to complete in order to be eligible (Sage application for new scholars and Praxis Core test for returning). We really want to award this money so get busy!
