Personalized K-12 Mathematics Endorsement Pathways

If you need to fill some gaps to earn an endorsement.....simply take the courses you need. This can be as little as preparing for the Mathematics Praxis (5161) exam, or the equivalent test in your state, or as extensive as taking a full round of courses to learn more and earn graduate credits from our accredited IHE partner. NJCTL’s learner-scheduled courses allow you to begin when you choose and proceed at your own pace.

Everything You Need to Pass the Praxis

This series of courses is designed for those who are new to mathematics and need additional content knowledge to pass the Praxis. If you are confident of your mathematics content knowledge and just want to review and prepare for the Praxis, jump to the last course in the sequence: MATH6413.

Graduate Credits

If in addition to passing the Praxis you need subject-area graduate credits, NJCTL credits can be transcribed with our accredited IHE partner. Click Here for more information.
