Assessment 1: Praxis II Scores
Beginning 9/1/2010 candidates were required to submit scores from the new special education core
knowledge test. In addition, candidates began taking middle childhood content area tests and teaching
reading in order to become highly qualified in at least two areas. If data are not presented for a group
of candidates for a program level (PB= post baccalaureate; Trad = four year BSEd), no candidates in that
group took the test. Additionally, if data is missing for a year, no candidates took the test. Data are
presented beginning 2010-2011 academic year; earlier data are available in http://aims.ncate.org .
