Experience Summary
I have taught Special Education in the public school system for over 13 years. This exposure to the needs of students and the strategies that play such an important part in helping students succeed led me to eventually begin scoring PRAXIS tests. After 3 years of scoring, I was offered a position as a scoring facilitator who introduced constructed response questions, discussed rubric requirements, and monitored the scores given by groups of 10-14 scorers assigned to each question.
Teaching Style
I am easygoing and friendly, and never judgemental. I will focus on what you feel is your weakest link or help you determine where your needs are. We will discuss the scoring rubric used on the constructed responses, examine examples of potential scenarios, and review responses and how they would have scored and why.
Other Comments
My experience in scoring hundreds of exams over the years has convinced me that many examinees lose valuable time and points in organizing the written component of the exam. Having the opportunity to examine the rubrics, read actual responses and their scores, and an analysis of why, will give examinees a leg up on what can be the most challenging aspect of the exam. While there are many PRAXIS tutors available, why not utilize a tutor with actual PRAXIS scoring experience?
