The PDE 7-12 Praxis Prep Pathway is designed to help educators prepare for the CS Praxis exam (5652). This pathway engages 7-12 educators in activities to develop Computer Science (CS) content area knowledge and skills via the online We_Teach CS program. As a result of the Pathway, LEAs will have an educator ready to take and pass the 7-12 CS certification exam and to offer a standards-aligned middle or high school CS course.

Objectives

Educators engaging in the 7-12 Praxis Prep Pathway will be:

  • Providing examples of how computing fosters innovation and collaboration in society
  • Identifying obstacles of equal access to computing among different groups
  • Using abstraction, pattern recognition, problem decomposition, and number base conversion to create and analyze algorithms
  • Identifying and apply knowledge of programming control structures, standard operators, variables, correctness, extensibility, modifiability, and reusability in the creation and modification of computer programs

Target Audience

PA 7-12 educators who currently are or will soon be teaching a middle or high school level computer science course in an LEA and interested in taking the PA CS Praxis exam.
