This one was much harder than my other two. The good news is, even though it covers four subjects, it's graded as one test! I was probably saved by the English and Math sections, because applied knowledge is far easier for me than the factual knowledge necessary for the Social Studies and Science section.
Materials I used to prepare:
- Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum Test Information Guide
- Mometrix Media "Test Secrets Guide" (NO! NO! NO!)
This is a PIECE OF JUNK! It outlines the curriculum rather than explains it and offers very little help. The "secrets" are nothing you can't read on an amateur-written eHow page. "Don't cram the night before. Get plenty of rest." These "secrets" have been hammered into my head since I was in grade school!
Thanks, MoMetrix, for scamming me out of my money. You won, congratulations!
Charlotte,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting your experiences in regard to the Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum. I have also just graduated, with a BA in elementary education (k-6). Besides taking and passing the FTCE exam, are there any other requirements that I would have to meet to teach middle school? Aren’t there a number of college level courses that are also required?
Getting off the subject (no pun intended), I followed your link to your other blog. I enjoyed reading over your to-do list. I think you’ve made an excellent start. Crossing off “Obtain my Bachelor’s Degree” must have given you a great deal of satisfaction. If you are lost, I think you are well on your way to finding yourself. Take it from someone who knows, it’s all about the journey not the destination.
