Western Governors University They took my money but refuse to help me finish my degree Salt Lake City , Utah

I agree with the other poster.  I wouldn't want her teaching any of my children either.  The PRAXIS is used to determine a teacher's knowledge of teaching, as well as the subject being taught.  And this idiot has failed it TWICE ?????  She doesn't have a clue !  Exactly WHAT do you teach, Kindergarten ????

Of course she claims that she is a very good teacher, but she is quite obviously deluding herself.  How can you possibly trust someone to teach a subject that they have FAILED, not once, but TWICE ?????  And, NO, you shouldn't need a course to teach you how to pass the PRAXIS. You pass it by knowing the subject material.  That's why you go to college - you learn the subjects and learn to teach the subjects.  You have no one to blame but yourself for your failures. 

And, thank goodness you would never be allowed to teach in my state, as we require a person to pass the PRAXIS before they ever set foot inside of a classroom.

WGUs ELL (English Language Learning) programs require students to take and pass the Praxis II 0361, as well as any state-mandated exams. The exams are not part of the program requirements, but are considered graduation requirements that must be met before the university will recommend students for licensure or certification. Because WGU follows standard practices and requires students to take and pass Praxis and state-mandated exams on their own, the cost of preparation materials and the exam attempts are not covered by tuition.

However, students who have completed all of their other degree requirements are not required to pay tuition while they prepare for and take the Praxis and state-mandated exams. 

We regret that this student received some misinformation regarding these requirements and encourage him/her to contact WGU Student Services to see if we can help her resolve her issues.

Don't rely completely on others...Google is your friend.

I found this in about 20 seconds....Good luck.

 First of all this is not about teaching anything. This is about the fact that WGU is not helpful to their students. I do not want people to know what state that I live in and I do know my state requirements for the Praxis test. I am the one who told my mentor that it was not required in my state. Also I am a teacher and a very good one, I have many certificates to prove it. Maybe both of you should learn what you are talking about before you comment on something. I do not teach English, nor will I ever. Maybe you people are the ones that need to go back to WGU. Maybe they can make you understand that which you do not.

Indeed.  I certainly wouldn't want you teaching my child.  And I certainly hope that English is NOT your area of expertise.  However, considering that you TWICE failed the Praxis, it may well have been your major course of study.  Go back and take English 101 again.  You need it.

You don't say which state you're from. It seems to me that anyone who has a degree in education should be smart enough to go to the Praxis website, search under the laws for their state, and then determine for themselves which test is required.

If you can't pass the Praxis after two attempts, perhaps you should consider another line of work.
