Unreferenced date July 2007 Orphan date July 2007 The Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure MTEL program was initiated by the Massachusetts Department of Education in 1998. It is part of a statewide education reform initiative for educators seeking PreKindergarten to Grade 12 licenses. The MTEL program includes a test of communication and literacy skills as well as tests of subject matter knowledge. The tests are designed to ensure that Massachusetts educators can communicate adequately with students, parents guardians, and other educators and that they are knowledgeable in the subject matter of the license sought. The MTEL program was expanded in November 2004 to include tests for candidates seeking vocational technical and adult basic education licenses. The MTEL is developed, administered, and scored by National Evaluation Systems, Inc. NES , which is now known as the Evaluation Systems group of Pearson Education . Tests are scored on a criterion based system, where examinees must attain a certain score based on standards established by the state. Constructed written & oral components of the tests are scored using a focused holistic scoring model similar to holistic grading . Like regular holistic scoring, responses are viewed for their overall quality, not just for individual mistakes. However this is done according to specific criteria that the state has established i.e., grammar, support, etc . These criteria vary by test and assignment. It is accepted in a few other states as a credential for teaching.

The Thompson LaGarde Tests were a series of tests conducted in 1904 to determine which caliber should be used in new military handguns. The US Army s fighting men had considerable difficulty stopping the Moro people Moro warriors and other combatants with the .38 Long Colt , and the Army began to consider the problem. The task was assigned to Colonel John T. Thompson of the Infantry , and Major Louis Anatole LaGarde of the Medical Corps United States Army Medical Corps . The tests were conducted at the Nelson Morris Company Union Stock Yards in Chicago, Illinois , using both live cattle outside a local slaughterhouse, as well as some human cadaver s. Several different calibers were used during the tests .476 Eley UK , 7.65x22mm Parabellum .30 Luger , 9x19mm Parabellum Germany , .38 Long Colt , .38 ACP , .45 Colt US and the .455 Webley UK . The first day of testing involved eight live cattle seven were shot through the lungs using different caliber rounds, and the effects recorded. The remaining animal was shot through the intestines with the .476 Eley. If the animal took too long to die, it was put down by a hammer blow to the head.
