About this exam

The Michigan Test for Teacher Certification Early Childhood Education (106) is a subject-area certification exam for candidates pursuing Michigan teacher certification in early childhood education. It assesses knowledge needed to teach and support young children, rather than serving as a general college-admission test. Candidates should confirm with their preparation program or Michigan’s certification authority whether this test applies to their route, endorsement, and current licensure requirements, since requirements can vary.

Preparation covers child growth and development from birth through age eight; learning theories and developmentally appropriate practice; observation, screening, and assessment; and curriculum design with integrated instruction. Candidates should be ready to apply concepts to classroom scenarios, such as selecting age-appropriate activities and interpreting developmental information. Review the current official test framework before planning, because it outlines the tested competencies and exam details. A topic-based study plan, focused review of weak areas, and timed question practice can build sound reasoning—not just memorization.
