Prepare for MTLE Pedagogy: Secondary (Grades 5-12), the Minnesota professional knowledge test for teachers seeking licenses in grades 5-12 fields. The 12 sections follow the 12 official objectives in order across both subtests, and every section teaches through realistic middle and high school Classroom Cases, the same kind of judgment the multiple-choice questions ask for.
