This Saturday, January 7th, is the day I take the first half of the Arizona Educator Proficiency Assessment (AEPA). The test takes around 4 hours to complete and to say I am nervous is an understatement! In my favor, NAU has a 90% passing rate, which is pretty high if you ask me. I have also been taking the practice tests that NAU offers for their students and they have been quite helpful. Also, I have been doing very well on these tests which is giving me some sort of relief. Normally, I would not have to take these tests until I am already student teaching or even when I have finished student teaching, but the state has decided in order to be placed for student teaching, one should pass the Subject Knowledge portion. In a way, it stinks because it puts added pressure on a student, but at the same time I think it is a good idea. One should know the content of teaching FOR student teaching, otherwise, one should not be student teaching.
Now that I have put in my two cents, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers this week and send good vibes for good results!
THANK YOU!
