Student Teaching

Well, it's certainly been a minute since I sat down and made a blog post.  Looks like I left off almost three years ago when I decided to take the CBEST (California Basic Educational Skills Test).  Well, I passed that and did nothing with it (except enjoy a few teacher discounts).  After taking the CBEST, I finished my Bachelor of Science degree from Azusa Pacific University and graduated in Dec. 2018.  Officially having the degree conferred upon me in April 2019.  Six months later, when it was time to start paying back student loans, I decided that if I was going to stay on this education course, I'd better get credentialed...

In October 2019, I enrolled in graduate school at Grand Canyon University for a Master of Education in Secondary Ed. with an initial teaching credential.  In March 2020, I took the Arizona exam for English teachers (about 10 days before we were locked down!)  I passed that and have been steadily going through classes for over a year now.  I am currently on my last class and will be starting my student teaching in January!  If all goes well, then in May 2021, I will have my Master's degree conferred upon me and that is just so crazy to me!  A girl who didn't like school, who flunked out of junior college, entered the work force, only to get back into the classroom as a teacher with a graduate degree.  I never would have guessed this would be my life!
