Certification
Praxis National Teachers
Exam
If you are a college graduate and your state makes it a whole
lot easier to homeschool if you are a certified teacher, you
may qualify if you pass this test. Also a useful test if you
are already a teacher, but want to homeschool kids not in your
current subject area. Potentially useful to homeschool parents
who want to start up their own "school" for homeschoolers
or want to qualify to help fellow homeschoolers in states that
require a "teacher" to oversee homeschools.
