All elementary and secondary MAT students must take certain PRAXIS exams to obtain

state licensure. All required exams must be passed prior to student teaching! If you do not

pass the required tests, you will not be eligible to student teach until you have passed all

PRAXIS tests.

All MAT students are required take a Praxis II test from the PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING AND

TEACHING (PLT) group. Candidates choose PLT P-4, K-6, 5-9, OR 7-12, depending on the

grade levels of initial licensure. (K-12 licensure candidates may choose any of these.)

It takes about 1 month to receive your scores, so please leave enough time to receive your

passing scores and submit a copy to Nelson Hall in Room 321 and to the MAT

office before you begin student teaching. **

Although you select ETSU (code 1198) as a recipient, the scores do not come directly to

the MAT office or to Nelson Hall. IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT THEM TO

NELSON HALL, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A CONFIRMED

STUDENT TEACHING PLACEMENT.

Remember, in order for us to recommend you for a Tennessee teaching license, we must have

your report of scores directly from the Praxis Series Services. To avoid an additional fee to have

scores sent to us, designate East Tennessee State University, College of Education,

Recipient Code #1198, as one of your score recipients when you register for the tests.

In addition, we suggest that you designate the Tenn. Dept. of Education, Recipient Code #8190.

The Tennessee Department of Education cannot accept score reports that do not have

social security numbers. This requires that you enter your social security number in the

test registration.
