Navigate the complex pathways to obtain your Initial License as an educator in Massachusetts. For individuals with a BA/BS via an approved Teacher Preparation Program, the MTEL test can be scheduled before, during, or after your program. This license is valid for 5 years of employment. Alternatively, those without an approved program can pursue licensure through post-BA Teacher Preparation options or temporary licenses. Understanding these routes, from undergraduate to out-of-state agreements, is essential for your teaching career.
