Information Regarding New MTEL

General Curriculum Math Subtest Scores

 

On May 19, 2009 the MA Board of Elementary and Secondary Education voted to temporarily allow candidates scoring between 227-239 on the math subtest to have passed for the purpose of the initial license.  These candidates will need to pass the math subtest at 240 or higher as a criterion for advancing their initial licenses to the professional stage - see: http://www.doe.mass.edu/news/news.asp?id=4808

 

In keeping with this policy the School of Education and Allied Studies, the Department of Elementary and Early Childhood Education and the Special Education and Communication Disorders Department will:

      1.Consider 227 as a passing score on the math subtest for purposes of progress through the program.

      2. Allow the July MTEL administration to be used to meet the math subtest practicum requirement for candidates seeking a moderate, severe disabilities and the elementary education license for this year only.

Note: With the exception of these two provisions, departmental policies will remain the same.
