Mathematics Teaching Degree WGU -in progress!

[teacher2]

Great News! Got my school placement at Prescott South Middle School! I am still not sure if it will begin the last week of July or first week of August. I am supposed to hear more specific details in an email in the next couple weeks. After the ordeal of last fall I am so relieved! In February, the field placement specialist said finding a placement could take up to a week before school starts, but she would try to get one before that. I was very apprehensive and slightly worried when she had said that (I am one of those people who calculates all the possibilities!).

Currently, I am doing my research on the edTPA and demonstration teaching. With WGU, even if your state does not require the edTPA, or any sort of Teacher Performance Assessment, they will require you to take it if they think your state might be changing its laws to require it in the next few years. Also, still studying for the Praxis 5203.

Here are a few WGU edTPA websites that help clarify requirements in DT and the edTPA.
