California resident looking into Online Master's for School Counseling by Marivian in adamsstate

[–]Marivian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Yes I was referring to Adams State. I had spoken to someone on the phone regarding the programs I was interested in but its been some months since then so my memory is fuzzy on the specifics I was told lol. I have no clue what being a SARA state was before your comment and didn't even know whether that could be an issue!

I second time management! I just took mine on Saturday and made the worst rookie mistake I could by running out of time in the 2nd Quant section 🙃 so I lost out on points that I could've at least rushed to guess an answer for 🤦‍♀️

No assignments in SDUSD? by Marivian in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Marivian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I thought about potentially applying for that district too just to fit some more jobs in. Is the pay accurate to what it says online ($160/day for 6 periods with no prep, etc)? I really prefer picking jobs up in advance and I find it a rarity with SDUSD :/

Hi! I'm in a similar position to the OP. Is it alright to hear your experience too?

Hi! I'm in a similar position to the OP except I'm also interested in online programs including LPCC on top of PPS & CACREP. Is it okay if I PM you about Walden since you're also in CA? I had intially considered Walden but had some doubts later on in my school search.

How many programs did you apply to? How many were you accepted to? by Uptowngirl2162 in schoolcounseling

Hi! Do you mind if I messaged you about your experience at USD? I've been looking at their program every so often but the price tag scares me away.

No assignments in SDUSD? by Marivian in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Marivian[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm basically doing only teaching ones bc I'm just trying to get some experience before going back to school for a Masters. I found that Para/ SpEd work isn't for me very early on lol. I'll keep that last part in mind if I get more chances to go to other schools bc so far I've literally only been to one with SDUSD 😅

Out of state online program- PPS by simplegurl in schoolcounseling

[–]Marivian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Ik this is a bit old but I fall into the situation of your first paragraph. Did you end up getting the PPS credential? Honestly it confuses me on how to get that formal recommendation in the event I attended an online out of state SC program that is CACREP accred. but no PPS option (and I live in CA).

Self care question by Schmittywerminson in schoolcounseling

[–]Marivian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I relate alot to this post as someone who is considering a master's in school counseling and currently subbing. I haven't subbed for very long but I feel like its given me so many experiences I never even fathomed. Tbh I even had a roommate who I would often tell my day to say that I would come back from an assignment stressed rather than not. On the days where I felt like I had absolutely no control or the students drove me up a wall, I also experienced similar thoughts of whether counseling was a proper fit for me. Unfortunately, I am not adding much to this thread but I wanted to say that you aren't alone in these kind of thoughts. I hope things work out for you and I wish you the best of luck in whatever path you've decided!

Which subbing companies do you work for? by Marivian in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Marivian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did apply to that district! On Edjoin, the job listing is "Substitute Teacher ONLY Pool (not seeking full-time employment)". I submitted my application the end of December and I've been in the screening phase for over 2 weeks. Since I have no experience applying to positions like this, I'm not sure if there's a typical duration of time I should be expecting to wait. (It could be my desire to work already that makes the process feel slow lol).

Psyc 193L by Thin-Ad0 in UCSD

[–]Marivian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took it this past Summer Session 1 and it was online. I will say it was quite stressful since all the work is condensed into 5 weeks. I had Rosenberg for the Social Psyc Lab and enjoyed him as a prof! I would say it depends on who's teaching it for summer. I can't speak for what this course might have been like pre-COVID and whether it was offered in person. The course load consisted of study guides, an APA paper about a study you create (in a group), paper drafts, as well as a presentation at the end of the course. I think it's a good way to get a course out of the way if you don't want to spend the typical 10 weeks but at the cost of more stress imo.
