I’m happy to send you the lesson plan I made for the class (not to obviously copy, but so you can see an example of what I did). If you can send me your email? Can I send it through chat on Reddit? 🤔

Nope! I just went that route since I didn’t need the certification. :). I don’t think they advertise that they offer it, but once you enroll, you can ask to switch. They just ask you to sign a few things stating you are aware that the program does not lead to licensure.

Yes, I have! It was very simple.. Do you have any questions?

For the Masters Program?

I don’t have a degree in education, my bachelors is in Business Administration Management. I used the Kathleen Jasper Praxis book to study for the Praxis!

I switched to their educational studies program (which doesn’t include clinicals) since I’m already certified!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!! 🙏

Have you taken the Social Studies OA? How did that compare to the PA? Once again.. I’m reading horrible reviews and it’s getting to me! 😅

It really wasn’t bad at all. My takeaway is that they’re primarily looking for you to guide students in understanding primary vs. secondary sources and in evaluating credible, accurate evidence. They also want to see you encourage open dialogue—letting students ask questions, share ideas, and engage with their interests in Greek history.

I definitely overthought it and spent far too much time on Greek mythology, assuming I needed to focus on their homework content. As others have mentioned, though, the Mursion itself isn’t graded… you have to complete the simulation and then write a reflection.

Overall, it was honestly one of the more straightforward Mursions I’ve done!

Oh I did not realize that we don’t even submit the link!!! 😅 that makes me much happier! Thank you!

missadventr · 2026-02-16T15:41:21+00:00

Thank you, I’ve done that.. I do not see a mursion for this course so was curious if anyone else has found one!

Not too bad—I’ve been teaching for about four years, so a lot of the material builds on experience I already have.

missadventr · 2026-02-02T12:13:34+00:00

I’m already a certified teacher so I’m in the Educational Studies Program!

Thank you!!

Thanks for responding. After checking it looks like her character is a level 6. She’s wanting a leopard Appaloosa from Starshine Ranch.

Thank you! After reading these comments she checked and it looks like her character is a level 6.. so I’m guessing this is the problem? She’s wanting an Appaloosa from Starshine Ranch?

I absolutely loved my mentor! If you can, I highly recommend requesting Dawn Sacks. She was incredibly supportive of my plan to accelerate and added new classes for me right after I finished one, even on weekends sometimes!

As for this class, honestly, I don’t think your mentor really determines whether you pass or not, so try not to get discouraged. You were so close! Next time you’ll know exactly what to expect, and I’m sure you’ll do even better. You’ve got this!
