Thank you for the encouragement Tennesseegirl87 and RANSOUMSOUL! My goodness Tennesseegirl87! You are a world away! I am in the Middle TN section above Cookeville. I hope that this thread will help people in their searches and add to the informative data of this forum!
To follow up on my decision on the 5-12 option, I decided not to go with that because I really enjoy working with middle and elementary students. I like the high school subjects but.... Anyways, I have taken this period of time to pick up extra work, and take a number of FEMA's emergency management courses pertaining to school safety as well as First Aid and CPR certs. I know these won't count toward a degree with WGU or TESU but I figured in the times we live in, as a teacher, it would be a good idea to have these safety and prevention skills under my belt.
Today (February 1) the August 2018 cohort window opened for applications and I submitted mine. Because I withdrew from WGU (and will be re-enrolling around July 2018), I had to manually apply to this cohort. In the next couple of days, a placement specialist will call me to discuss placement options and then began the process again. I am looking forward to getting back on track to this degree again!
