I procured my B.S over 10 years ago,so doubt the university would
still have syllabi from early 1990s courses....
I thought to get a preliminary teachers licence, all I would need
to do is pay the application fee, produce my undergrad
transcript,grad course transcripts, and a transcript proving I
passed the required MTEL tests.
Are you serious that I might need to produce individual syllabi
from classes I took as an undergrad? That's insane!!!!
I'm left to wonder-are there people in MA who have fullfilled all
the requirements needed to be a teacher, but due to the 'hamster
wheel' insanity of red tape, are unable to get their teachers
licence?
Thanks
Ted
