I have been on a steady course since January to finish my degree requirements in time for TESC's graduation deadline of July 1st. Everything has gone as planned until the past three weeks. I only need to finish 1 or 2 more FEMA and take 2 exams and I am done.:hurray:
I was supposed to take the ECE Literacy Instruction in the Elementary school this Friday the 23rd, but I had to change it to Saturday the 24th. I have been so busy the last 2 1/2 weeks teaching I have hardly had time to study. I have had the chance that could get me a job. One of our sweetest teachers has paid the price, but it looks like she will be OK (She fell and broke her hip and will be out the rest of the school year). I get to really teach; make my own lesson plans and everything. This is a fantastic learning opportunity. I just spend so much time preparing for 4 different classes I have had very little time to study.
I took the ECE practice exam (I can't believe they charge $65 for 2 exams you can only take once), before I started this teaching job and I got 48%. I have half days at school tomorrow and Friday, but I have to make at least a basic lesson plan for the next 2 weeks I am going away.banghead
I leave Sunday to fly down to Myrtle Beach and help my mother. So if I don't take this exam this saturday the 24th I can't take it until May 8th. I have my last exam Natural Science planned for May 21st and I need to study for that too. I don't need anything else for my degree requirements, but I commited to taking ALEKS Intermediate Algebra and ALEKS (by the way which statistics is easiest)Statistics by June 15 so I can get them on my transcript. I need them to qualify to teach Math. :willynilly:
I had everything planned finish my degree, take my Praxis in June or July, apply for Teacher Certification and find a job by September. This opportunity to teach is just to good to pass-up.
So what this long post is asking is: Should I take the test this Saturday or wait 2 weeks and mess up my whole plan?????:confused: Any suggestions appreciated.
