Praxis Prepartion Workshops

Are you registered to take a Praxis exam? In order to help you prepare
for future Praxis exams, the School of Education is sponsoring a series
of workshops. If you plan to attend one or all of the following
workshops, please stop by the School of Education Office February 3, 4,
5, or 8 and register. This will enable the staff to make sufficient
copies of handouts yet not waste paper.

Tuesday, February 9, 2010, 6:00 to 8:00 PM, Palumbo 2012: Preparing for
the PPST I Exams: Reading, Writing, and Mathematics

Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 6:00 to 8:00 PM, Palumbo 2012: Preparing for
the Content Tests required for secondary Education majors

Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 6:00 to 8:00 PM, Palumbo 2012: Preparing for
the Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment exam required for Elementary
Education majors

Thursday, February 25, 2010, 6:00 to 8:00 PM, Palumbo 2007: Grammar 101.
This workshop will not only provide insight to the grammar and usage
portion of the PPST I Writing exam, but it will also provide tips on how
to avoid common grammar errors. Even if you have passed the PPST I
Writing exam, you may find this workshop useful.

Ms. Veronica Connaroe will facilitate the first three workshops. Ms.
Connaroe is a graduate of Gannon University and is currently a social
studies teacher in the Iroquois School District. She has researched the
Praxis exams and facilitated these workshops in the past.

In order to present the Grammar 101 workshop, I will put on my hat as a
former language arts teacher.

Please plan to attend and remember to register.
