MTEL Flex

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 Foundations of Reading 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.

To be eligible to take the MTEL Foundations of Reading Flex, candidates must have first taken the FOR MTEL (not passed) and received a score of 240 or higher.
