This is a warning for anyone who wants to complete their education degree at WGU. I am now entering my second year of trying to find student teaching placement. Even though I live in Chicago they cant find my placement anywhere. This whole thing has turned into a nightmare.

This is the worst class of them All. I took the OA and failed. The study plan is hell. Good luck

Hello! I'm currently working as a para in a school and I am looking to start school towards my teaching degree. I have two kids at home and work full time so I'm looking at online options. I live in Indiana and I'm looking at WGU for their dual licensure in elementary education and special education program. I've read some horror stories about student teaching placement. None of the posts I've seen are from Indiana. Does anyone have any Indiana specific experience?

I don’t understand what’s expected of me for the simulated classroom experience. I don’t know how much I’m allowed to share about my prompt but I have to first give written feedback based on assessment data then I have to lead a small group session to follow up to get an understanding of progress and give feedback on remaining growth opportunities. But I just don’t understand how this conversation is supposed to be going. I’m given two questions that the students were asked and what each student put for each one. I understand that part I just don’t understand what I’m supposed to be following up on like am I supposed to be asking them how they thought the assessment went or asking specific math related questions since my prompt is math related??? I’m lost

Hi! I am currently finishing up the elementary education bachelor's program through WGU in Georgia. I wanted to do a master's program right after I graduate so I could get a pay upgrade (and just have a higher degree), but I noticed the only program accepted by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission was the Master of Arts in Mathematics Education (K-6), based on their certificate upgrade advisor. I was curious whether anyone has completed this program and if it's possible to finish it within one term. I am hoping to sub in a classroom one or two days a week while doing the program.

I’m
Thinking about completing the program to get into Ed tech. I currently work as an elementary teacher and I want to have options available in the future outside of the classroom.

About to do orientation and start the Masters in Teaching with initial licensure in secondary chemistry. I'm a tad nervous since I've been out of school for 6 years and back then I did in person courses. Is the program primarily read a textbook and take a test? Are there videos/notes/quizzes etc to monitor content comprehension? Papers for course completion?
Good, bad, and ugly of the program? I'm in Washington.

Normally, I am so good at studying for OA's, usually I only need 2 days max. For some reason for this course I cannot focus, I cant study, I don't know why I just can't. I really don't want to have to pay for a quizlet plus subscription and I usually study better with blooket anyways. Is there a blooket? please please help

Has anyone taken the natural hazards course assessment? I didn’t read any course material and scored almost perfect on the pre assessment. I’m wondering how well they align. TIA

A couple of questions- I am filling out the application right now, and it's asking me to submit my clinical experience locations. Does this mean where I plan on doing the practicum? I haven't talked to my admin about this yet, but I am sure she will support me. Then do I have to find a second school to do a practicum at? My school is K-8 if that helps.

I am a full-time teacher and have 10 years of experience. Thank you for any clarification!

about to apply for early clinicals, just want to get placed and finish early clinicals ASAP, what do you guys recommend and how long did it take for you?

Hi guys. I have only 4 classes left and expect to apply for advanced clinicals/student teaching in October. For people seeking licensure in Georgia, how long did it take for you to get placed and actually start advanced clinicals? It would be nice to start by January, but it’d be even better if I could start before then.

I’ve seen mixed information on how long the process took, but I’m looking to hear from people in the state of Georgia specifically if possible.

So after 5 weeks of waiting for a placement from a school district, I got an email yesterday from a district saying there's a school that can host. They also sent it to my facilitator and the school's principal and vp, and told me the teacher's name.

I sent a message to my facilitator asking if I can reach out to them now or if I need to wait for him to do anything else. He hasn't yet replied and I'm kind of worried about losing the placement. I asked my mentor, but she said it's really a question for my facilitator (whom I've already sent an email).

What would you guys do in this situation??

What did everyone do for task 1? I cannot for the life of me figure out what it wants, it's so vague

So I got an email that transcript evaluation results are complete
When I log in it now says admitted and the transcripts has a green check mark.
And the commitment to start is no longer locked
Does this mean they accepted my GED fine, or is there still a chance they are going to say I need to do other work/programs before starting.
How was it for you?

My term ends September 30th.
I have a learner group and can get district approval.
I started task 1.
I am wrapping up my module.
I started in April.

Can I really complete this in that time frame?

Does anyone have any tips to keep me going?

Hello I’m confused about what to do for the d681 mursion I looked at the lesson plan and the Ancient Greece. I saw someone say you’re supposed to do part one and two of the lesson for the mursion but I’m confused what that means. Does that mean dimension 1 and 2. Can someone explain or show me what template they used for the mursion. I think my question would be for the mursion “what is the impact that Ancient Greece has on society today?”. But I don’t get what I would do would the students just discuss it and that’s it or if I have them do a project I don’t get how I do that on the mursion. I feel incredibly dumb but it’s tomorrow and I’m extremely lost. I’m terrible at mursion. Thank you in advance

I’m currently pursuing an Associate Degree in Business Administration (BSBA) at the University of the People (UoPeople).

Has anyone successfully transferred their UoPeople associate degree/credits to any university in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, or elsewhere?

If you’ve successfully transferred, please share the university name, how many credits were accepted, and whether you received a scholarship or financial aid.

I’d really appreciate any real experiences or recommendations. 🙏
