Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) Education Department will offer preparation workshops for those considering taking the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL) on October 28 and 29.
The workshops will be held in an online, synchronous format, with two sessions each day. The first session will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and will cover the test Communication and Literacy, and the second session, held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., will focus on Foundations of Reading.
Passing the MTEL is a requirement for teacher licensure in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each class will focus on a specific test and will be taught by instructors knowledgeable in both the content/skill area and the test.
