State Licensure Exam Alignments

  • State Licensure Exams (2012 Standards)

    For all program reports Assessment #1 is the state-required licensure content exam. Institutions must provide a description of the exam contents and two or three years (depending on number of current year completers) of individual completer performance data on state-required mathematics content licensure tests aligned to competencies specified in the NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) Mathematics Content for Secondary (or Middle Grades) and demonstrating an 80% or better overall pass rate.

     Praxis Alignment (2012 Standards)

    Educational Testing Service allowed an alignment panel access to test items and specifications for newly revised and regenerated tests Praxis Mathematics: Content Knowledge (Exam 5161) and Praxis Middle School Mathematics (Exam 5169) during Spring 2013. Beginning with the October 2013 administration, Exam 5161 replaces Mathematics: Content Knowledge (0061) and Exam 5169 replaces Praxis Middle School Mathematics (0069).

    An alignment of each of these tests to competencies identified in the NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) Mathematics Content for Secondary and Middle Grades are presented below.

      Praxis Mathematics: Content Knowledge (Exam 5161) Alignment to NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) Mathematics Content for Secondary

      Praxis Middle School Mathematics (Exam 5169) Alignment to NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) Mathematics Content for Secondary

      Praxis Middle School Mathematics (Exam 5169) Alignment to NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) Mathematics Content for Middle Grades

    For institutional programs using the NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) with Praxis Mathematics: Content Knowledge (Exam 0061/5061) or Praxis Middle School Mathematics (Exam 0069) administered September 2005 through August 2013, further collaboration has resulted in alignments to competencies identified in the NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) Mathematics Content for Secondary and Middle Grades presented below.
