Andrea, Those are all great areas, and this will be a great and very helpful addition to TEL. When I was a high school librarian, I had teaching assistants and volunteers who wanted resources to help them study for the Praxis. If possible, I would recommend adding secondary English/Language Arts Content Knowledge to go along with the Math. Also if you could add Special Education, that would be much appreciated. There are a lot of people who may work as assistants with special needs students and really have a heart for it, but they need help getting certified as teachers. It's also a field that lends itself to compassion fatigue and high turnover. There are several sub-fields, though, so maybe just stick with the comprehensive test.
