Whoa.

I passed my MTEL exams. BOTH of them. I have a 93 on my General Curriculum exam, and an 85 on Foundations of Reading. Qualifying score is a 70 for each.

This means I am well on my way to becoming an elementary educator.

This means a whole new world of possibilities just opened up.

Okay, now. Back to my grading.

She is she is! Do you know if this means she can apply to be a little kids teacher now?

[jilsynchro]

Well, she can always apply

[jilsynchro]

Uh, I found this. I bolded the stuff I like she still has to do, to be an elementary school teacher. I can't decide if she has to do number 3 or not. I think it's only applicable to secondary teachers, and number four is a substitute for it.

(2) Requirements for Teacher Licensure.
