EDU-110 - MTEL Preparation

1 credits

This course will provide students with the opportunity to explore expectations for successfully completing the first exam in the series of Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL). The Communication and Literacy MTEL consists of a reading and writing subtest that prospective teachers must pass. This preparatory course offers a comprehensive focus on reading skills such as word meaning, writer’s purpose, and critical reasoning. Additionally, writing skills such as sentence construction, mechanics, and establishing a main idea will be covered. The trajectory of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) licensure requirements, including the path for successful completion of relevant teacher’s tests will be examined. The course will also incorporate test-taking strategies, effective study skills, and best practices to cope with test anxiety.
