Beginning spring 2019, Cameron’s initial candidates moved from demonstrating their professional abilities on a paper/pencil test—the OPTE—to a performance assessment—the Praxis Performance Assessment of Teaching (PPAT). Candidates piloted the PPAT with local scoring in spring 2018 and fall 2018. All candidates have been required to complete the PPAT with national scoring since spring 2019, however, candidates will be able to choose between using those scores or OPTE scores for certification through spring 2021. Through spring 2020, the state passing score for PPAT was 38 out of 60 possible. Beginning fall 2020, the passing score was raised to 40, however a formal review following that change resulted in returning the passing score to 38 beginning spring 2021.

Data are provided for all candidates with disaggregation by program for programs with more than 3 candidates in a given cycle to protect anonymity. Task 1 and Tasks 2, 3, & 4 are completed during different semester therefore N’s are not expected to match. Also, special education is offered as an add-on to early childhood or elementary therefore candidates will count twice in disaggregation by program

PPAT Task 1

Local Scoring using 4-point scale

NOTE: The EPP requires that candidates complete the PPAT, but they could opt to take the OPTE test for certification purposes
