Alameda Branch CM Guidelines, CM E-mail List and Updates:
At the MTAC Annual Convention in July 2022, delegates overwhelmingly voted for a return
to a hybrid format of both in-person and online testing options. Though this change was
to be effective this coming year, as of this printing we have not received any information
from the State Office as to how Certificate of Merit will be handled. Therefore, please watch
for email communications from the MTAC State Office and check your Teacher Portal
at new.mtac.org. Our Branch will also contact members via email when we have further
information.
