One of the schools I am looking at is WGU, for a BA in Teaching Secondary Biology or MA in Teaching/Secondary Science. I write science materials for kids but don't have teaching experience, and I think getting more of a pedagogy (and science) background would help. I know I would enjoy the lesson planning aspect of teaching, but I have this niggling fear that I will turn out to hate classroom teaching. I also have health issues that could (or could not) interfere with being able to schedule practicums.* If that's the case and I don't want to/can't complete the practicum, is there any chance of transferring the credits elsewhere for some other kind of degree? Or would I just need to drop out with nothing to show for it?
*Yes, I know that could also interfere with full-time teaching, which is why I would look for tutoring or sub positions instead of full-time ones if the health issues get worse.
