All students seeking initial licensure (graduate or undergraduate) must take and pass the Praxis I - Academic Skills Assessments - Pre-Professional Skills Tests.
Ideally, the Praxis I (PPST should be taken with the introductory course the students complete for their majors. This test must be completed prior to full admission to teacher education programs. The CBEST will only be accepted if you took it prior to entering our program.
All students on teacher licensure tracks must take the PRAXIS II prior to graduation. In addition, students will be required to take and pass the PRAXIS II in order to have a 'Completion of Approved Program' letter submitted to the Nevada State Department of Education for initial licensure (for students pursuing a degree leading to teacher licensure). In order to ensure that UNLV receives the PRAXIS II scores in time to submit the 'Completion of Approved Program' letter, students should take it at the end of the semester prior to student teaching. Students should list both UNLV (RA4861) and the Nevada State Department of Education (R8670) as score recipients.
The Clark County School District will not hire any new teachers unless they have passed the specialty area Praxis II Test.
To determine which PRAXIS II tests(s) are required for your major, please see the Nevada section of the Praxis Registration Bulletin. Additional details regarding the PRAXIS II may be obtained from the Nevada State Department of Education or Undergraduate Advising Center staff.Master's Degrees maybe accepted in lieu of the PPST.
