About Student Teaching

I am/was supposed to student teach in January. There have been some interesting developments that may mean I will change programs and not student teach. I have been working on a Masters of Art in Teaching (MAT) if I change that my degree will be a Bachelors of Art in Educational Sciences (BAES) which technically does not allow for certification- got all that? : )

So hear is the deal

  1. I got my student teaching placement- at a school 30 mins away that doesn't get out till 4pm. That means the absolute earliest I would get home is 5. The big kids would have to go to aftercare, Wayne would either have to leave work early to take the kids to their activities (and then go back to work) or they would have to miss them is he can't get out of the office.
  2. I maybe able to get a certification in FL with what I have- Bachelors (in Nursing) plus at least 30 hours of education credits. The problem is I have to have a transcript for FL to evaluate to give me an answer as to whether or not I qualify for that.
  3. I plan to sub or maybe work part time at a preschool till the kids are older and I don't need a certification to do that anyway.
  4. Finally, after applying to student teach months ago and sending in all my requirements I got an email from the school Thursday saying they don't have all my test results. The deadline to have them in is Monday. I emailed two different people at the school trying to find out what they need but got no replies.

Anyway- I am thinking it is all a sign from God!
