Educator Licensure Programs: STEP MTEL Requirements
Educator licensure in Massachusetts requires that each candidate for Initial

to the license sought. The Communication and Literacy Skills Test consists
of one four-hour test, divided into two sub-tests (reading and writing skills).
The Subject Matter Tests consist of one four-hour test designed to assess the
candidate's subject matter knowledge in the area of the license sought.
Communication & Literacy Skills Test

to admission to STEP.
- Graduate candidates: Must PASS by the end of
first semester in STEP.
Subject Matter Test(s)
