Has anyone taken the assessment for meteorology recently? I am trying to find out how closely it relates to the textbook because the pre assessment had a ton of wacky questions imo

What was the one thing I should really study? Any tips are greatly appreciated. I’m struggling almost a week in and can’t seem to master the class

Hi everyone! I’m currently enrolled at WGU in the Elementary Education program. I’ve heard some horror stories about student teaching placements when that time comes, so I’m a little wary. On the other hand, once I finish school, I’ll be moving to Mississippi. I currently live in Georgia. I’ve spoken with my program mentor, and she says everything should work out when I get to my student teaching clinical. However, I’m wondering if I should just pursue the non-licensure route and then follow Mississippi’s state requirements to become licensed afterward. I’m feeling a little stuck because I’m not sure which path would be the best to take. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you’re willing to share. Thank you in advance!

I have literally been studying for weeks and I barely passed. I’m not saying I was studying the PA, but there were some things on the OA that just came out of nowhere if anybody has taken this class please let me know what you did to pass it. The algebra isn’t a problem. I think it’s a little bit of everything else. I have yet to fail a test so from my understanding, I know that the course instructor is going to send me something to work on, but if there is anything that y’all have tried that worked too that would help because I only have one more month before my term is over.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

I graduated from the University of Windsor in Canada with a 3-year Bachelor of Science degree. I had my credentials evaluated by WES (course-by-course evaluation), and my current evaluation shows 102 U.S. semester credits and an equivalency of three years of undergraduate study in the United States, rather than a U.S. bachelor's degree.

My goal is to apply to master's programs in the United States (specifically in Applied Behavior Analysis).

Since my original evaluation, I have been completing additional undergraduate credit courses at accredited Canadian universities. I plan to reach approximately 120 U.S. semester credits and then request a new WES evaluation.

I contacted WES several times, and they told me that:

• Additional undergraduate coursework completed after my bachelor's degree can be included in a re-evaluation.
• Coursework from multiple accredited Canadian universities can be evaluated together.
• Reaching approximately 120 U.S. semester credits can strengthen the possibility of being considered equivalent to a U.S. four-year bachelor's degree.
• However, they cannot guarantee the outcome of a future evaluation.

I'm wondering if anyone here has actually been in a similar situation.

• Did your WES evaluation change after completing additional undergraduate coursework?
• Did WES eventually recognize your education as equivalent to a U.S. four-year bachelor's degree?
• Were your additional courses taken at more than one university?
• If so, how many additional credits or courses did you complete before requesting a re-evaluation?

I'd really appreciate hearing about any real experiences, whether the outcome was successful or not.

Thank you!

I start on 8/1. I noticed that in the mobile app I can see the performance task requirements. Can I start working on these or will the requirements change once classes officially start?

Just make your actor so uncomfortable that they don’t create any conflicts the entire time because they’re unsure of what you’re gonna do next :)

I was in the middle of mine and I was so nervous that I asked the “students” if they wanted $1 million then asked if they were willing to give up their family for $1 million.

I don’t even know how I didn’t get harsh feedback after what I put that poor person through.

Hi everyone! I really need some help. I’ve searched online for some answers but I’m getting stressed. So I’m enrolled in the MAT elementary Ed program at WGU, and will start on August 1. I already have a bachelors degree that is unrelated to education. I’ve got tons of teaching experience post undergrad so I feel pretty confident in my teaching abilities. My ultimate goal is to become a TESOL teacher. I don’t mind if it’s elementary, secondary, or all ages. I just need to understand the pathways in which I can get a degree in teaching, get my NY state license, and become a TESOL teacher. Would a masters make sense? Or a bachelors? Or this educational studies program I’m hearing about? Any and all responses appreciated!!

This is a warning for anyone who wants to complete their education degree at WGU. I am now entering my second year of trying to find student teaching placement. Even though I live in Chicago they can't find my placement anywhere. This whole thing has turned into a nightmare.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone has gone through a similar situation and can share their experience.

I'm currently a student at WGU in the Elementary Education program, but after a lot of reflection, I've realized that my long-term goal is to become a Physical Education teacher in Texas rather than an elementary classroom teacher.

I'm considering switching to WGU's Bachelor of Science in Health Science because it aligns much better with my interests. My plan would be to complete an alternative certification program after graduation to earn my EC–12 Physical Education certification.

Over the past few days, I've contacted WGU Career Services, my program mentor, Katy ISD, TEA, and several Educator Preparation Programs. I've received mixed responses.

WGU Career Services said Health Science can be a strong option for pursuing PE through an alternative certification program.

Katy ISD told me that as long as my bachelor's degree is accepted by an approved Educator Preparation Program and I earn my PE certification, I would be eligible for hire.

One Educator Preparation Program (Teachworthy) told me that a Health Science degree would likely not provide the academic background they look for for Physical Education and that I may need to take the TX PACT exam, but I don't want to go based off that one response out of many more to come. I'm still waiting to hear back from iteachTEXAS and Teachers of Tomorrow.

Has anyone here become a Texas PE teacher with a bachelor's degree that wasn't in kinesiology or physical education? If so:

What was your bachelor's degree?

Which Educator Preparation Program did you use?

Did you have to take the TX PACT?

Were there any issues getting certified?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thank you!

I’m currently 50% complete with the program. I’m thinking I can pass in the next two terms, mostly because of the student teaching but I want to know what my expectations should be. What class was the most challenging? Someone had mentioned the sped courses, but I’ve already gotten through them. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone! I'm scheduled to take my D638 Objective Assessment tomorrow and I'm feeling a bit nervous. OAs and I don't usually get along, so I'd love to go in with a solid game plan.

I tried searching for a Quizlet to study with that wasn't just the practice test but didn't have much luck. Does anyone have advice on what to expect, which sections to focus on, or how the actual questions are framed? Any tips would be a massive lifesaver! Thank you all so much!

Hi Y'all!
I take my D837 OA tomorrow and was wondering if anyone had any help on what to expect on the exam. Maybe what sections are on it and what I should focus on? I tried looking for a quizlet, but have come up empty handed. I am not a great test taker, so the OAs are not typically a friend.

Thanks everyone!

I’m taking my D692 OA tomorrow. For those who have already taken it, what topics did you see the most questions on? Were there more questions about Math/Science, Math/Social Studies, or manipulatives? Are the questions mostly scenario based? Any study tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone, for those in the BA Elementary Education program, are your D673 modules for Elementary Social Studies Curriculum loading? I keep getting met with a 404 error.

I am confused on if during this Mursion Simulation the students are going to have the primary and secondary resources in their hands or how I am supposed to go about that part!!

About 6 courses into my WGU experience. I’m wondering if the after course reflections that are supposed to be added to my portfolio are mandatory. I’ve completed about six courses and I haven’t filled out a single one. Any information on this? Thank you in advance

Hello I was wondering if anyone knows how many classes have OAs and how many have PA for the masters sped program that leads to licensure. Thanks in advance 😊
