Passing the Massachusetts Test for Educator Licensure (MTEL). You
must register for, take and pass, the Literacy and Communication test
of the Massachusetts Test for Educator Licensure (MTEL) at or before
the February of your junior year. You may obtain registration materials
for the MTEL in the Education Office, Room 303 or online at www.mtel.nesinc.com.
Please note: full acceptance
into the practicum segment of the teacher licensure programs necessitates
a passing score on all tests of the MTEL (i.e., subject matter test,
the Literacy and Communication tests, and for the early childhood and
elementary students, Foundations of Reading test). Therefore, check
the current MTEL Registration Booklet (available in Reese Room 303
or online at www.mtel.nesinc.com)
for test dates and with the program director to make sure you will
have taken and passed all tests before your practicum semester.
All application materials are due by February 15 of your Junior year,
even if you are planning to student teach during a ninth semester.
Assemble all materials and submit them to:
Cheryl McGraw
Senior Administrative Assistant for Education
Room 303 in Reese Psych/Ed Bldg
