HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA!!!!
Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Erin, I think you have an inner ear that spins. Like a dervish.
Please, please, please can you run to the corner and get some TheraFlu?
Yes, ma'am. Do I need to get you something like hot and sour soup too?
Yeah, school! I would love to start my own school -- except for, you know, RUNNING it.
Emily, not sure exactly what you wanted but I got my BA and Ma in English from 1990-1997, worked till 2003, when I started on my MA in Education. I started student teaching in January, and I graduate in April.
And I would look like such a HOOKER in knee pads! Really, there no way to avoid that. I always have leg bruises and cuts and scrapes -- i bet ita looks less damaged after krav testing than I do after walking around for a day.

My brain swerves, I think.
Okay, so the being-in-school-for-teaching was, what, three semesters of classes before you started student teaching? That's probably what mine'll be too, just thought I'd check.
Honestly, I think next semester I can arrange my schedule better -- not tutoring will be a big relief -- but this one is just so exhausting, with the school and work and tutoring and assisting. Gah!
Yep, three semesters, plus summers...but I was taking undergrad courses needed for my certification, as well as the courses for the MA.
3 semesters of observing, and now one semester of falling...er, teaching.
What undergrad courses?
The methods classes and the observations and student teaching. See, I didn't get any kind of ed courses when I did my BA and Ma in English, so I'm totally content worthy, but I needed to take all the nuts-and-bolts classes, like Ed Psych and Ado Development for my actual teaching cert process. No matter what kind of advanced degrees you have, you have to still get certified.
Then the MA courses are Curriculum and Instruction, which is theory and stats and curriculum development. Exciting.
Right, right, gotcha. All the Ed classes seem to be graduate-level at my school. At least, I think. Well, to get certified in MA you need to pass the test and to have a BA in the field you want to teach; I'm hoping the MA in CS will help, but I'll be taking some math classes too.
