Wgu Science Ed (Earth Science) While working as a para?
Will this work?
Here's my plan. Let me know if any of it sounds off and please answer some questions.
I am currently working as a para in a sped high school classroom in Colorado. I would like to get credit transfers through Sophia Learning and Study . Com to boost my rate of completion. I'm hoping to do it all over the summer time and be started on the rest of my coursework by early fall (hopefully before the school semester even starts). I have the utmost confidence in my ability to do the classes and proctored exams. However, I am and NEED to be working. Is it possible (if I can get my district to okay it) to do my clinicals at my current placement or does it need to be somewhere WGU places me and/or does it need to be in my field of study?
And then 😅 Is there a way to make sure my student teaching is in my district (they've already said they'll work with me to help get me placed if WGU will)? And have the terms changed in the last couple of years to allow paid student teaching if applicable.
How do you paras do it?
Anyways, let me know any of the hiccups. I would LOVE to be at the student teaching phase by jan of 2027.
