![]() Which 4 areas of history or science will you write about?.Pick descriptive statements that will be used to demonstrate your knowledge of the MTEL test objective chosen in step 1.For the Multi-Subject, for example, the choice is between a history or science objective. “Single-spaced” means double the writing usually required for academic papers, so the Flex looks like the equivalent of a 15-page research paper.Īccording to MTEL-Flex Assessment Handbook, there are 7 steps to complete a Flex: The four prompts are to be “no more than 1 single-spaced page and your written analysis should be no more than 3 single-spaced pages.” Materials published in the MTEL-Flex Assessment Handbook give the same requirements for the English (61) and the Spanish (28) MTEL-Flex written assignment(s). What is actually required in DESE’s own words is “ answering 4 prompts and writing an analysis.” That sounds like five written responses to me. For example, I took a deep dive into both General Curriculum MTEL-Flexes because our students have been asking about them specifically. ![]() *What is Required to Complete the MTEL Flex Assignment?ĭESE writes that “one written response” is required to complete a Flex assignment however, this is misleading. *One written response and one video submission based on Spanish objective 0013 or 0014 *One written response based on History 06 objective 0002 or 0014 *One written response based on GC Multi-Subject 03 objective 0006 or 0010 *One written response based on GC Math 03 objective 0019 or 0020 *One written response based on Foundations of Reading 190 objective 0010 or 0011 *One written response based on ESL 54 objective 0005 or 0008 *One written response based on English 61 objective 0014 or 0015 Flex-Eligible MTELs MTEL (linked to exam-specific Flex information) If you are not eligible, the option will not be there. If you qualify, the Flex option will be automatically available to you when you register for an MTEL. If you’ve scored within the stated range since October 20, 2020, you qualify to submit a Flex in lieu of retaking that MTEL.ĭon’t worry about looking up your old score reports. None of this really matters, but I figured that most of you would wonder why the score ranges for the Flex-eligible MTELs varied. Most likely in the case of the MTELs, the wider the SEM, the lower the scores on that particular exam. The wider the SEM, the more varied the scores. In contrast, a standard deviation measures the variability of one sample of data. What scores qualify as “one standard error of measurement”?īy definition, the standard error of measurement (SEM) is a statistic that measures the variability of data across many samples. The eligible MTELs are English (61), English as a Second Language (54), Foundations of Reading (190) General Curriculum Math (03), General Curriculum Multi-Subject (03), History (06), and Spanish (28). The Spanish (28) also requires a video submission. Those who have scored within “one standard error of measurement” (SEM-explained below) of a passing score on an MTEL taken since October 20, 2020, is eligible to submit an MTEL Flex assessment instead of retaking the MTEL they came close to passing.Įssentially, DESE is allowing people to submit an alternative writing assignment instead of retaking an MTEL. On of January 25, 2020, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) announced that they are adding an option to several subject-test MTELs for educators who have come close but have not yet achieved a passing score of 240.
