As a teacher candidate, you must be able to create an environment where diversity is valued, where support and challenge are consistent expectations, and where collaboration in creating a community of learners is the norm.
MTEL preparation is integrated into a student’s curriculum plan, beginning with courses designed towards the Communication and Literacy Exam. Through practice tests, drills, class discussions, and short writing assignments, students will learn the expectations and best practices for approaching the test.
As students’ progress to content specific exams, directed workshops are utilized to provide a personalized and intentional approach to the exams.

Alumni Spotlight: Kelsey Grimard '19
Kelsey Grimard '19 is currently an 8th Grade English Language Arts Teacher at Woburn Public Schools. "I decided to come to Regis because of the community. When visiting Regis, everyone was extremely friendly and never turned down an opportunity to help. I knew that I could really excel in that environment and become that person that people came to for help."
Regis helped me become independent and allowed me to student teach in the district that I am now working in. I was able to learn the tools that I needed to succeed in my profession and also help students along the way.
