7-12 CS teachers: use this Google Form to tell us your plans for the exam and certification, and if relevant, request reimbursement. The form allows for multiple submissions allowing you to update your status with the exam.
- The form is also used for the reimbursement program. Reimbursement is available for educators paying out of pocket to register for the exam and/or apply for the add-on certificate.
Peer tutoring is available to participants in any current or previous PaTTAN 7-12 Pathway who are preparing for the Praxis exam. Click here to schedule a session.
Note: Peer Tutoring and Reimbursement may not be available in the 2022 - 2023 school year. These programs are funded through June 30, 2022. At this time we cannot confirm that the programs will continue past June so we strongly encourage teachers to take advantage of these opportunities before it's too late.
