Ever felt like you’re wandering through a maze with no map? That’s me, a preschool teacher in sunny California (yes, I swapped the chilly Boston breeze for palm trees), now eyeing the mysterious world of public schools. The MTEL exams loom ahead—Early Childhood, Foundations of Reading, Communication and Literacy Skills. I’ve scoured guides, from the official MTEL prep to those quirky online PDFs everyone whispers about. Some promise miracles, others just headaches! 😅 Honestly, the best resource? Mixing practice tests with real classroom stories. But hey, maybe I missed a hidden gem—do you have a secret weapon? Also, is a second master’s really worth it, or should I dive into PRPL? I’m torn! Drop your wisdom (or warnings) below. Let’s crack this code together—maybe we’ll even laugh at our mistakes! 🤔✨ #MTEL #EarlyChildhoodEducation #TeacherLife #Education
