The Praxis Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) tests assess a new teacher's knowledge and understanding of educational practices foundational to beginning a career as a professional educator. The tests' content focuses on key indicators of an educator's knowledge of topics such as human development, learning processes, instructional processes, diverse learners, and professional issues. The four grade-specific PLT tests covered in the test-prep book are Early Childhood, Grades K-6, Grades 5-9, and Grades 7-12.
