Hello and welcome back!
Today I thought I would tell you where I have been! I have been teaching third grade math and science since mid February and have loved every minute of it! Getting hired with a WGU degree was something I was scared about, but it was crazy easy and here is how you can teach with a Western Governors University bachelors degree too!

Hi girlfriend! I’m currently going to school at a local university for elementary education but I’m looking at WGU for my masters….. thank you so much for this video! I was so worried about people not taking my degree seriously because it’s online. Love your story❤️

Thanks for your inspiration! I just started WGU and we were in about the same boat for classes and goals. I am following your path and am two weeks in and have finished four classes!

Awe this gives me so much hope! Like you I started out at a preschool and I didn’t feel like it was the best fit for me. I’m starting teaching classes at WGU soon and my biggest worry was being taken seriously with an online degree but now that worry is gone. I hope to fill out a teaching position soon to help out with all the shortages.

I want to get my Masters in Educational Leadership but the US Department of Education site says WGU National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education is no longer recognized. Is this still a good degree if I want to be a principal or in administration? I don’t want to be a teacher.

What was the praxis like?

@momtastic657 9 ай бұрын

I have a question, I commented on your previous video as well. How were you able to skip student teaching and go straight into taking your praxis? Also, what was required after you accepted your position to get started teaching immediately?

@brookelynnenoel 9 ай бұрын

I got my bachelors in Educational Studies and then took the Praxis Exams. I didn’t do student teaching because I was out of my home state when I finished my degree and didn’t want to get certified in the state I was currently living in. I am now having to teach on a job embedded license where I am taking classes and being observed every now and then to complete my “student teaching”.

@DavidVChristopher Жыл бұрын

yeah what Master program are you looking into doing. Im planning the same after my BAES

@brookelynnenoel Жыл бұрын

I am currently taking a break from teaching so I am not sure what program I will be doing when I return to the field. However, I was looking at WGU but they won't allow me to do a job embedded program in Tennessee at the moment. Middle Tennessee State University and University of Tennessee Knoxville are other programs I have been looking at.

What’s the difference between your degree and the certified teaching degree being that you did teach 3rd, kinder and 1st grade ? I’m asking because I am about to start elementary teaching bachelors in WGU soon

@brookelynnenoel 3 ай бұрын

The only difference is that WGU will not sponsor/recommend you for licensure. I had to get an emergency teaching permit sponsored by my county and state in order to teach.

I'm just now looking at WGU, is there a reason you weren't able to student teach? Because I thought I saw somewhere on their website that it is part of their program.

@brookelynnenoel Жыл бұрын

I chose not to because I was not in the state I wanted a license in yet.

@cheremiepaige Жыл бұрын

I’m interested as well. I’m still not really hearing how you officially got licensed? You had a Bachelors degree, went ahead and took your praxis after you graduated, then just applied at a school that gave you an emergency permit? Does this mean you have so long to get a license or you lose your job?

@teacherlife2209 Жыл бұрын

From what I understand a lot of people do it because student teaching is usually 3-4 months and non paid as to where to go this alternative route you can immediately start teaching while getting paid instead.
