52 days after Ronald Reagan left office, I took the National Teachers Exam in another state. I aced it. And I took those great scores and taught for a few years.Then I had a baby, and I quit teaching to stay home with her. We moved to Texas, and I decided that I wouldn't take the TExES quite yet. After all, I was going to be a stay-at-home mom for a while. I put the test off and made the decision to take it later.And then I had another baby, and another baby."Take the TExES later on," I kept telling myself. "You can always do it down the road. After all, you don't even know if you'll ever go back to teaching."So I didn't. I focused on my kids and was quite happy living the June Cleaver life.As previously noted, I had taken the NTE in the very early days of the first Bush administration. And as I lived my happy at-home life, time passed. All the way through the Clinton administration and through the next Bush administration and through the first Obama term, I was blissful in my life at home, centered around my family. I piled my kids into the minivan and drove them to music lessons and to ball practice and to driver's ed. This was what I wanted to do. I could teach other people's kids later on; this was the only shot I had with my own.And time passed and babies grew and suddenly it was the spring of 2015 and Mr. Obama was well into his second term.I looked around and realized that my youngest baby was getting ready to enter high school."Oh, my," I said to myself. "That happened quickly. Maybe you should see about taking the TExES."I told myself that was a great idea.
Pros:I tried this book to prepare for the TExES PPR EC-12 and passed on the first try. This TExES Professional Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities study guide provides a thorough review. It covers most of the main topics you would expect on this exam. There were a few areas that I feel it could have been augmented more on. Therefore, I had to find other books to compliement my preparation.There needs to be more TExES PPR practice tests that very closely reflect the real test in this guide, but there are some so can't complain too much. One area that could be improved is proper categorization for ELL levels per the official website info.The book is organizes the the domains into the content tested. It has vocabulary terms in all sections.Cons:The guide provides online access to a practice test. However, the test can only be used once. It seemed strange I was only able to use the practice questions once and then was barred from reviewing them again. Huuh? I was told I would have to buy the book and the test each time I wanted to see the practice questions. A little silly.As many complained here, chapters 6,7, and 8 were missing. It appear a section from an AP Spanish was inserted instead of the PPR material any Texas teacher candidate would expect. I discovered pages 69 - 100 missing. This where pages from another book called "AP Spanish Language and Culture" was inserted. This is a publishing error which I just noticed.I don't have chapters 5, 6, 7 or 8 because apparently there was a misprint and thereare chapters on Advanced Placement High School Spanish instead.I got a 277 on the actual PPR EC-12 test.
