Praxis Community Education

The Praxis Community Educator workshop enables experienced youth workers to incorporate the teaching and assessment of unit standards (towards NCEA) into their existing youth programmes and activities.

The programme is designed for those who currently work alongside young people in: AE (alternative education), mentoring, youth transition/pre-employment, health, learning support in schools, and general youth programmes.

The Praxis Community Educator programme is taught over 2 days, participants then need to complete the requirements for unit standard 4098 back in their own youth work context.

Once 4098 is achieved participants can become a recognised Praxis Assessor, enabling them to teach and assess generic level 1 and 2 standards (towards NCEA) as part of their ongoing activities with young people.

What people are saying about Community Education?
"Working with Praxis, and becoming an accredited Assessor for the Praxis ComEd programme has opened up a new approach for us at Te Hā o Mātauranga - we are now able to support our learners through relevant unit standards, helping them gain NCEA, without having to either buy in expensive programmes or work in online environments that don't suit them. We can tailor our learning programmes far more effectively to be supporting our rangatahi to be work ready, to be life ready and to consolidate and gain skills that set them up for starting out in the workforce and independent living. Praxis has been super supportive and their teaching/learning approach fits very well into our values at Te Hā o Mātauranga."
