Mathematics Teaching Degree WGU -in progress!

[teacher2]

So in short -it didn't happen. I was not able to secure a school placement in time for the November 10th deadline. I was negotiating placement with several schools who sent me to the school district who then required WGU to email them with the placement information. The Field placement office emailed the district with the information but stated my placement was for September 2019! I unfortunately did not know about this mistake till yesterday evening (one day after the deadline). I emailed the field placement office who apologized for the mistake but stated I missed the deadline so I must wait till the next cohort to do student teaching. The next cohort is August 2018.

I feel disappointed and slightly discouraged but I want to use the next 7 months wisely. I am looking at my options. My student mentor suggested that during this time I could switch to the 5-12 program which would require 5 additional math classes, another Praxis test, and a few other courses. My student mentor will be sending me the info but apparently it is not the same as the one on their website. She said it is an older one which aligns closer to my current program.

Honestly, I had considered a BA in History at TESU at one point but I am not sure if they accept WGU courses. I really want to find something that will enable me to graduate soon! I will post another thread to discuss options but for now this degree is on pause.
