Praxis II For Birth Through Kindergarten

Effective March, 2007, the State Board of Education approved the use of PRAXIS II content knowledge test 0022 (Early Childhood) for Birth through Kindergarten (B-K) teachers to be designated “highly qualified” to teach kindergarten.  The required passing score is 155. 

This test is NOT required to be issued a B-K license and CANNOT be used to add B-K to a license.  It also CANNOT be used to become eligible for a B-K license.  This test is only for those teachers who already have a B-K license who want to become “highly qualified” so they can teach kindergarten.  Employees licensed in Birth through Kindergarten who are assigned to teach Pre-Kindergarten are NOT required to be designated as “highly qualified.”
