All States Postcard Exchange

by Kim

Aug 13, 2011

I have a 5th grade classroom in Washington State and would love to do a postcard exchange with as many states as we can. I would like to have each state represented. You would need to mail a postcard to each participating classroom (ie. if 25 classrooms participate then that would be 25 postcards; all 50 states then 50 postcards). I would be willin...See More

Transition to Teaching?

by Brandie

Sep 19, 2011

Hi. I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight, different then just the program descriptions that I can find on-line, about the transition to teaching program. I am contemplating starting the program, but have had a hard time finding reviews about it.

Thanks!

Praxis 2 Art Content 0134

by mcook

Oct 17, 2011

I have been looking at all the helpful information regarding preparation for the Praxis 2 Art Content test. However, from what I understand the latest test is 0134. It used to be 0133. Most states now require the 0134 test. I think this change became effective Sept.1, 2011. Does anyone know if the content is much different on this latest test? How ...See More

I must say, it was more difficult than I had anticipated. I had studied and felt well prepared, but didn't feel that good about the test. I thought the questions were not well worded. In addition, the online Practice test (I got all the questions correct, it seemed easy) did a poor job in reflecting the actual test. Too many obscure questions and I felt the multiple choice on some questions were pretty subjective. I thought the new test was to better reflect the knowledge needed in teaching art. I don't feel the questions were in line with that. Just my opinion...Would love to hear others opinion. Hope I don't have to take it again, but will know what to expect next time!

Jan 6, 2012

I recently took the new Art Praxis 0135. Be sure to take printed out versions of some of your own artwork to the test, as 2 out of the 3 essay questions asked me specific questions on my pieces. One topic was what difficulties did I have while completing the piece and why. You have to turn in the copies with your test. My suggestion is to complete ...See More

The 3 essay questions were: 1) discuss a mural, monument (2 or 3 D) and how the environment played a part in where it is place and what the artist meaning was behind the piece. 2nd) your own work - technique, difficulties or assets, would you do it again, or how would you do it different 3rd) Your own work: A piece that s...See More

rachel I was an Art major and I can't seem to pass this Art praxis.. I have read the Mona Lisa, I have read the art history books. how else can I study? I went over the types of art making.. This test is just so broad! If anyone has passed what did you do and what in the world did you read.

pension

by Steve

Jan 7, 2012

Indiana legislators should worry about curtailing their own pensions instead of trying to take away what Hoosier teachers have built as a system to keep us out of poverty when we are done devoting our lives to the classroom.
