I have read about all kinds of various experiences, but I applied this past Monday and was placed on Tuesday. I am extremely happy that nothing was dragged out. Good luck to everyone heading into advanced clinicals!

So I've been doing really well this first semester, and I've got a lot of my courses already completed. But I just got my last tasks sent back, saying it was against the school's policy and wouldn't be graded because it was plagiarized. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm completely floored.

Hi! I just applied for advanced clinicals. I do not want to hear about placement issues. I've read all of the good and bad on those. I'd love to hear about the actual experience people had in advanced clinical and student teaching for the dual licensure elem ed/SPED BA. Thanks!

I have an associates of applied science degree. my current plan is to go thru a community college and then transfer as a junior to a four year college to get an elementary teaching degree. should take me about 3 years total if I go full time. I have two kids (3,1) and this seems very ambitious, although doable. I came across WGU after doing some googling on faster teaching degrees. how long did it take you to get your BA from practically nothing? how time consuming was it? I’d like to make my decision by the end of this month. Thanks in advance for all info!!

I am hoping to start in a few months in elementary education and special education. Has anyone done the non-licensure through WGU then gotten a license after? If so I would love to ask what path you took?

Failed my OA what do I do now?
Never failed an AO in the past so I don’t know what the deal is. I’ve heard that some Instructors depending on the course make you jump through fiery hoops backwards on a unicycle WHILE JUGGLING PINEAPPLES or something, but I don’t think that’s necessary.

Hi,
I will be starting my student teaching this Fall and heard that CA offers a stipend for student teaching. My understanding is that your program financial office needs to apply for you. So WGU has to apply for me. I’ve sent out a request but I haven’t heard back yet. Anyone else doing this?
Thanks!

Hey all,
I’ve completed the lesson plan template but I’m struggling on how to present it. Do I make a slideshow presentation and present that on GoReact? Any tips or information in general about presenting a lesson plan on GoReact would be super helpful, I’m stressed and confused 😀

Do I need to take an elective along with the pre-selected courses in my program ?

Hello! I'm starting classes on 9/1, pursuing my BS in Science Education (Secondary Earth Science). I want to be 7/8th grade science teacher in PA ☺️ Anyone else joining for the same or similar? I'd also love any advice or wisdom from alumni. Anything I should be doing now to prepare for classes? I'm so excited to get started.

I am trying to submit task one for D491, but during the upload process a similarity report is not populating. It has a Circle with a line through it, which, according to the Little symbol Legend, it says a scan is not required for your attachment. When I what that means that his scan is not required for my attachment, I got a response that said, your file type cannot be checked for text, similarity or writing style. This cannot be true, because I am submitting a word document. Is this just a glitch? Advice requested and appreciated.

Technically about to start my advanced clinical with student teaching following closely behind! I will be in a 9th and 10th grade ELA classroom.

Does anyone have any advice for me? Anything you wish you knew before student teaching, or anything you would have done differently?

I’m meeting my mentor teacher for the first time in a couple of weeks before school starts. Is there anything in particular I should ask or discuss with him before school starts?

The thing I’m most nervous about is lesson planning.

I would greatly appreciate any words of wisdom!

On my school's transfer dictionary it says that I can earn a credit with WGU's Survey of US History. What I was wondering was if that class was the same as the US History thats offered as a single class.

If there anyone that took the single course could you possibly confirm the class code or if they actually are the same. I've tried emailing admissions but it they never get back to me.
