Minnesota Teacher Licensure Exams

The Professional Education Licensing and Standards Board recently approved changes to reporting requirements for the Miinnesota Teacher Licensure Exams. As a result of these changes, the College of Education is not required to report MTLE pass rates to the Professional Education Licensing and Standards Board during program review. The Title II annual institutional report still includes pass rates by test area. 

Advanced Programs

Advanced programs demonstrate candidate competency through key assessments aligned to the content and pedagogical standards outlined in the Minnesota Administrative Rules for Teacher and Other School Professional Licensing.

Key assessment data is collected in Anthology Portfolio, a web-based assessment software. Students create portfolios for their licensure program and submit materials for assessment as they complete program coursework. Program faculty review and discuss the assessment results semi-annually and use the information gathered for program review and improvement.
