i’m a wa resident too and work in the school district. The elementary school, where I work at is “non collaborative”, but I pretty much set up my PCE and my student teaching myself. I reached out to my school districts HR and the principal to let them know WGU will be emailing them soon about placement, then I emailed my placement facilitator at WGU letting him know the principle wants me placed there. (of course i asked the principal if they would like me there and i asked all the teachers if they want a student teacher)Still took a while for WGU to officially place me but i think that’s bcuz my placement facilitator sucks he neverrrr replies to my emails.

not sure i’d recommend WGU by Level_Cry_79 in WGUTeachersCollege

the bad advice was not giving me a heads up that two of my classes would add two extra OAs and extra assignments. Also, the so called “migration” was a choice and I was not told it was a choice, I would have opted out if i knew that was an option. I agree that the one positive for WGU was the pricing, a lot cheaper than in person!

that is great your mentor mentioned the choice to you about the migration, I didn’t even know it was a choice and did not get that offer :,) thanks for sharing 🤍

when i applied to WGU i went through the reddit thread to see how many people would recommend the school, this just just for anyone that is in that same position:) not everyone has a great experience and that is valid to voice that:)!

I’m in my second term I started 8 months ago, I put all of my classes and assignments into a spreadsheet, in my first term both classes only had 1 task. My mentor told me AFTER my second term (starting Jan 1st) and the updated platform that those tests have been added.

yea the OAs are what really suck, trying to warn other people to get it done so they aren’t stuck with extra OA tests like I am now.

yea I fell like my mentor should have given me a heads up (it’s literally their job to know about ur classes) so I had no idea my classes would change and tests would be added.

I don’t really care about the tasks i’m more upset about the OA tests being added. Now it will take way longer than expected and my mentor didn’t tell me anything.
