Those interested in obtaining teacher licensure in Massachusetts are invited to register for MCLA’s Massachusetts Test for Educator Licensure (MTEL) preparation courses.
The courses will be held online on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 12 & 13, and cover Communication and Literacy and Foundations of Reading.
Communications and Literacy: 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Foundations of Reading: 1 to 4 p.m.
Each semester the College’s Education Department offers classes to prepare students for the MTEL. Each class will focus on a specific test and be taught by instructors knowledgeable in both the content/skill area and the test. Passing the MTEL is a requirement for teacher licensure in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The course is $50 per course for non-MCLA students. Register online at mcla.edu/mtelprep,
email dgce@mcla.edu, or call (413) 662-5575 for more information.
