I will teach K-2 in Maryland and am confused which Early Childhood Education Praxis 2 test I should take. My undergrad is ECE and my masters is also ECE. Does anyone know whether I should take ECE Content or ECE Principles of Learning and Teaching... or BOTH? Appreciate any response!
me On the ETS website you can check by state and see what Praxis 2 tests each state requires. Also, call the MSDE certification office. You can find their number online. When I called I had no trouble reaching a live person who was very helpful.

Nancy in MD I got my ECE certification in MD about 2 years ago. At that time you had to take the ECE principals of teaching (pedagogy) test and the elementary content knowledge tests.
