“I am very honored to serve on this ETS national study and represent the state of Louisiana,” she said.

Williamson will travel to Princeton, N.J. to participate in this study, which will recommend a passing score for the PRAXIS test. 

According to Williamson, the purpose of the Multistate Standard-Setting Studies (MSSS) is to keep the test content fresh, relevant, and current with changing requirements for prospective teachers.

The Praxis Series tests are taken by individuals entering the teaching profession as part of the certification process required by many states and professional licensing organizations.
