I’ll keep this short as possible:

I’m a recent college graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts who wanted to Teach Elementary School Level Art (since that’s what I got inspired to do art from) and because of some issues with my Advisor I couldn’t take all the required courses to add a Teacher Licensure to it.

Anyway, I’ve signed up to the iTeach program about this time last month and have been trying to figure out which Praxis test I need to take in order to start my Learner Residency program at a school. It’s says on the iTeach website to “take and pass your content area Praxis II content test” and I just want to make sure I pick the right one(s) before wasting money on one(s) I might not need to take (yet). And it also says in the test submission part that “if seeking certification in Elementary Education, do the 5001 exam (multi-subject exam, Test Code 5002-5005) and all of them must be passed to satisfy this requirement”

O- I’m in Tennessee and it says on the praxis.ets.org site that I need to take:

one Principle of Learning and Teaching (PLT): -grade area- test to be certified in “all areas”

and three Core Academic Skills For Educators -Reading, Writing, and Mathematics- tests to be certified in “admission to an educator preparation program”

O- everything else is just under Content Knowledge Assessments for Specific Endorsement Areas and the one I think I need to take from those is “All Grades” - Art: Content and Analysis(5135) to be certified in Art K-12(Visual Arts)

I know this sounds straight forward but I’m panicking because I haven’t had the guts to make any progress yet and would just like some advise
