I am a teacher in the pioneer valley. She will need ti pass both MTEL tests before getting her license as the state does not offer reciprocity with other states. Most districts will not hire her under a provisional license without those tests but a few would (Holyoke and Springfield).
Neither is prohibitively hard - she will also have a much easier time getting a job if she has her SEI endorsement - also a test/class.
Check the DESE website for certification routes she can take.
If she had these licenses - and especially if she has any experience in sped - she could get hired in my district today.
Jobs get posted in April and throughout the summer.
Good luck and best wishes.

Thank you for all of the helpful information. Sounds like there are many tasks to be completed. Good to know the completion of these requirements will likely end in a teaching position somewhere in the valley!
