Ok I changed my plan again:willynilly: I am so fickle!!
I really want to do this in time for Sept graduation which is July 1 Deadline.
I am taking Foundations of Education Friday ( I was desperate for a practice test so I bought the Rudman's).
Next I am planning Intro to Educational Psychology on March 5.
After that I have to decide should I go for the ECE Literacy Instruction in the Elementary school on April 2 or take a break from Education and go for the ALEKS Intermediate Algebra. (I need advice on this too, I had College Algebra 20+ years ago, I do teach some math how long do you think ALEKS will take me?)
Either way I will hope to have both of them done by April 16.
Then I will take the Natural Science CLEP on May 7 (or should I do Bio CLEP)
That leaves me needing 5 Fema (Almost done) and either Organizational Behavior, Lifespan developmental Psycology or Human Growth and development on May 28 that gives me a full month to get everything in to TESC.
So I need suggestions and advice on the above, which test are best, what order makes the most sense etc.
I also need to know if this seems doable with working as a sub 3-5 days a week and lots of family obligations. I am not getting any younger and it will still take me 6 months to a year after all this to get my teaching certification.
Thank you all for your support and advise I could not do it without you guys.
