REMINDER - Math Workshop Available - Prep for Provincial Math Test (MPT)

The Faculty of Education is offering some additional math prep at no cost, intended to help you get ready to take the Provincial Math Proficiency Test (MPT).  Remember that in order to fulfill all requirements of certification with the Ontario College of Teachers, applicants must successfully pass the Provincial Math test, hosted by EQAO. For more information about the MPT, please visit the website:  https://mathproficiencytest.ca/#/mpt-launch.

When Are the Next Sittings?

The EQAO is planning to run this exam at least three times before September so that students have the opportunity to write and gain certification with the College before the regular school year starts. (We think they are hoping to offer it in both online and pencil-and-paper formats.)

For additional information, including the available Zoom sessions, please refer to the email sent to your LU email address with the same title.
