What's New in 2009–2010?

Bilingual Education Test

Beginning with the October 17, 2009, test administration, one Bilingual Education test (Field 075) will be available for candidates seeking to be certified in this area.

New and Redeveloped Tests

The following subject-area tests were updated or developed and will be implemented as of October 2009: (075) Bilingual Education (formerly called Bilingual Tests), (026) Latin, (058) Physical or Other Health Impairment (formerly called Physically or Otherwise Health Impaired), (027) Russian, and the new field of (102) Arabic (Modern Standard).

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) endorsement areas and codes are available for examinee reference in a PDF document on the MDE Web site at http://www.michigan.gov/documents/cert_update_manual_2006_171904_7.pdf. The two-letter endorsement code corresponding to an MTTC test appears next to that test in "Test Selection."

Be sure you are taking the correct test for your endorsement. If you need assistance determining your endorsement or the test you should take, contact your advisor or the certification officer at your institution.

Thumbprinting

The identification policy for MTTC test administrations has been updated. As part of the identity verification process, your thumbprint will be taken at the test site. Thumbprints will be used only for the purpose of identity verification. If you do not provide a thumbprint, you will not be allowed to test and you will not receive a refund or credit of any kind. See "What to Bring to the Test Site" for more information about the identification policy.
