MTEL-Flex provides an assessment option for MTEL candidates whose score on select MTEL test fields is very close to the passing score. Candidates who meet this eligibility requirement have the opportunity to submit an MTEL-Flex assessment rather than retaking their MTEL test.
For MTEL-Flex, candidates provide an analysis of an MTEL test objective to demonstrate the depth of their subject matter knowledge. MTEL-Flex English requires candidates to provide a written submission to demonstrate their subject matter knowledge. Candidates who pass MTEL-Flex will meet the relevant subject matter test requirement for their license but may still need to take and pass additional subject matter tests as required by their licensure area.
Candidates who register for this option are required to prepare an organized, developed analysis of a literary work related to Objective 0014 of the English test framework.
Candidates will select a text by an author suggested for fifth through twelfth grade from Appendix B of the Massachusetts English Language Arts and Literacy Curriculum Framework – 2017 or a text appropriate for fifth through twelfth grade that has won one of the awards listed on page 164 of the Massachusetts English Language Arts and Literacy Curriculum Framework – 2017 to prepare the analysis.
Candidates who register for this option are required to prepare an organized, developed analysis of a text related to Objective 0015 of the English test framework.
