Applying for Licensure

practicum experiences and teacher induction

Massachusetts
MTEL Registration packets are available in the Practicum Office and online at http://www.doe.mass.edu/. All students receive this packet and an explanation of licensure at the endorsement meeting with the Director.

All students are required to register for and pass the MTEL for Massachusetts licensure. You can download a copy of Four Steps to Massachusetts Licensure in PDF format.   

More information can be obtained from the MTEL Information and Resource Guide by stopping by the practicum office in Campion 106 or downloading the MTEL Results.

Out-of-State Licensure
Students will receive a copy of out of state procedures at the endorsement meeting.  Packets are also available in the Practicum Office. Reciprocity for licensure in other states means the states honor the teacher education training. Students may still be required to take another test to meet state license requirements. The National Teacher Exam or Praxis is a typical exam required in other states.
