7-12 CS Praxis Prep Workshop Series
2026-2027
You're invited!
Our new 7-12 CS Praxis Prep Workshop Series is a special opportunity for 7-12 CS teachers who have not passed the 7-12 CS Praxis exam.
No matter where you are on your CS Praxis exam journey, this series is for you:
- If you participated in a previous iteration of 7-12 Pathway but didn't finish, this will help you hop back on the "CS Praxis Prep" train.
- If you're currently enrolled in the Pathway but are running behind or feeling stuck, this will help you work through your challenges and make some progress.
- If you're new to the Pathway (maybe you just registered for our a cohort?), this will help you connect with peers working toward the same goal.
- If you're getting close to your exam day (whether or not you participated in the 7-12 Pathway), this will help you refresh your knowledge and increase your confidence.
What is the Workshop Series?
The 7-12 CS Praxis Prep Workshop Series will help PA 7-12 educators prepare for the 7-12 Computer Science (CS) Certification Exam (Praxis exam 5652), which is a requirement for the PA 7-12 CS certification.
