A Typical Day
Typical Morning:
8:00 A.M. - Arrive at Weitzel for placement!
8:25 A.M. - School begins, greet the students and assist in teaching the class
11:00 A.M - Grab a bite to eat before class

Typical Afternoon:
Each semester offers a different time schedule, however, you can be sure you'll have afternoon classes at least three days a week. Generally you don't get out later than 7:00 P.M.!
The Practicum
From the first week in the Praxis Program, NAU students are in an elementary or middle school classroom for 12 hours a week, working with teachers and students and teaching. During the three semester program there is a total of five placements including both special and general education classrooms. The placements vary in length from 8-11 weeks.
The Theory to Practice
In the Praxis program you will be able to apply the information that you learn from the coursework into a classroom immediately. This is a benefit that many education majors don't get. That is one of the reasons why Praxis is the best!!
