Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome

2) How long does it take to finish the program? 3) Can I work and still be in PRAXIS? 4) What is the daily schedule? 6) What about transportation from NAU? Answer 1: PRAXIS starts every three semesters. PRAXIS VII will start in the Spring of 2003, PRAXIS VIII in Fall of 2004, and so on. Answer 2: PRAXIS takes three semesters to complete, but you need to complete the prerequisites for the Education Program first (this normally takes two years). Overall, a dual major degree takes four years. Answer 3: Yes, you can work while in PRAXIS. It requires a lot of time management and personal accountability, but it can be done. Answer 4: The daily schedule: Four days a week you teach at Weitzel Elementary School, from 8:00AM -11:00AM. Then you attend classes, normally one or two per day. The exact schedule varies per semester. Answer 5: Yes, PRAXIS is NOT student teaching nor does it replace it. After you spend the three semesters in PRAXIS you student teach. Answer 6: There are always other students who live on or around campus who are willing to carpool to and from Weitzel if you do not have your own car. |
