What is the Praxis?

The Praxis does not assess understanding of pedagogical practices—it only assesses the content knowledge necessary to be ready to teach a grade level or subject. The Memphis Teacher Residency requires that all residents pass the appropriate test for their content area prior to beginning the residency. To begin as a resident, the Subject Assessment test for your grade/discipline needs to be passed.

Official Praxis Subject Assessment score reports must be sent to the following two institutions:

Applicants who pass the Praxis will be required to forward a copy of the official student score report to MTR after receiving an invitation to join the program. Applicants should keep their original official score reports for future reference.
