your praxis 2 first. Right now they are reformatting many of the
praxis tests and some are no fail until June (particularly the
PLT tests). You want to take Principles of learning and teaching
k-6 for your current degree and also Principles for learning and
teaching 7-12 if you want to teach middle school. You won't need
to take any additional math courses as long as you pass your math
praxis which is called middle school math praxis 2 (I just took
it), lots of stuff on graphing, distance between points, etc.
Go to CCSD.net to find out the exact praxis licensing
requirements. The ccsd website also lists which tests are no fail
right now. There are 3 praxis 1 tests that you need to take that
just test general math, reading, and writing (very easy). Hope
this is helpful.
