Mission

The Kean University College of Education's Resource Center's (Formerly the Praxis Resource Center) mission is to promote the success of all prospective educators in passing the Praxis Series tests. The center is dedicated to enhancing student achievement and confidence by strengthening comprehensive learning, providing academic support services to all students, reinforcing course content, along with emphasizing good study habits and effective test-taking skills. This is accomplished through the use of different learning strategies, tutoring, supplemental instruction, learning assistance and collaborations with Center Experts that allow students to achieve their academic goals. Faculty, instructors and staff members are committed to providing a welcoming and stimulating environment that prepares students to achieve their goals as future educators.

What are the Praxis tests?

Please make an appointment with your education advisor to review the other requirements for entering the program of your choice.
