Thank you everybody! These last few days have been wonderfully spent with my family.
To answer your question, cathgrl, I still do not have a student placement as of tonight. I have till November 15 to get a placement or I will not be able to student teach in January. I have contacted 5 schools in my area as well as my county board of education explaining my situation. I must admit securing your own placement is not very easy when you do not have an already established relationship with that school. Some of the schools in my area require WGU to negotiate a student teaching placement. I emailed the field placement specialist about this, but she said since I was entering so late, any school that required the university to place them would not be an option. Fortunately, two of them have said they will work with me given the circumstances and will try to get a placement for me. I am currently waiting to hear back from them. I will update this thread as soon as new data comes in!
