The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has established a range of requirements for teaching, including a series of examinations known collectively as the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL). New teachers and those interested in seeking new licenses must all pass the Communications and Literacy Skills Test. Therefore, a passing score on both portions of this test is required for matriculation into a license-oriented M.Ed. program at Curry College. In addition, prospective teachers are required to pass subject matter tests in their areas of licensure. These are:
Curry students in any licensure program should take these tests after they have completed the appropriate coursework, and must pass all required tests before beginning their practicum. It is recommended that students consult with advisors in the Graduate Studies office before registering for one of these tests.
In addition to required state testing, all students must submit scores from the Miller Analogies Test before they can be accepted into the program.
