The College of Education requires that all professional internship students SUBMIT A PAPER COPY of their score report(s) indicating a passing score achieved on the Praxis II test(s) required for their area(s) of certification as defined above BEFORE a student may perform the professional internship.  The paper copy of the ETS score report(s) must be submitted to the Teaching Performance Center in Willis 110 no later than August 1^st for internships in the Fall and Winter semesters and by November 1^st for the Spring and Summer semesters.  A student will be withdrawn from his/her placement and unable to participate in the professional internship if this submission requirement is not met.  Questions and answers about this policy and the Praxis are available at    www.kean.edu/~tpc.  Registration and further information on Praxis II can be found at www.ets.org/praxis.
