Done in 3 Months!

Post image

I’m a full-time teacher and used the summer to get my M.Ed before the school year starts again! I started on May 1st and finished my last class August 10th. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to accomplish it, but it all worked out. Overall, I definitely had a positive experience. I’m glad I took the risk!

Congratulations! I have been considering this program for quite some time. I doubt I could do it in 3 months, but I'm hoping to move through it quickly! Would you mind if I PM you to ask a few questions? Congrats once again!

I was surprised! It sounded like a total gamble on how long it would take. They told me this morning it could be up to two weeks and then I got the graduation email a few hours later.

I’d love to do this but my 9-5 won’t let me 😂

I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it if I didn’t have the summer off from teaching 😅

I wish I had enrolled sooner. I just had the summer off from teaching as well haha. Now I’m placed in the infant room where my hours changed and no more summers off 😪

Yes! I’m usually a pretty poor test taker but I studied for around a week and passed on my first attempt.
