Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure
Bridgewater State College offers 18 undergraduate and post-baccalaureate programs leading to initial teacher certification. All candidates enrolled in teacher certification programs must have a major in an Arts and Sciences discipline in addition to their education course sequence, and all candidates are exposed to actual K-12 classrooms throughout their teacher preparation program. Bridgewater's School of Education and Allied Studies is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). All of the College's educator preparation programs are approved by the Massachusetts Department of Education, and 13 programs are approved at the national level by recognized professional organizations.
To be licensed to teach in Massachusetts, candidates must pass three educator certification tests: two basic skills tests (reading and writing) and an additional test in their academic content area. The following table reports pass rates for each of the tests required for teacher licensure.
