(PPAT) Praxis Performance Assessment of Teachers (retired)

The PPAT, or Praxis Performance Assessment of Teachers, was a capstone assessment that measured a teacher candidate's ability to provide contextual factors that impact learning environments. It also measured the candidate's ability to plan lessons, teach content, and use assessments to measure K-12 student learning. The assessment was divided into 4 Tasks, one of which requires a video recording of a teaching session. The assessment was administered by ETS. As of June 10th, 2024, all teacher candidates applying for licensure in the state of Utah are no longer required to complete the PPAT. Teacher candidates will now be required to meet the general teacher competencies approved by the Utah State Board of Education.
