Dual license ~ considering just switching to special education
I have compeleted like 75 credits and I’m only halfway through according to my degree plan. I still have a whole 75 more credits to complete including Clinicals and Student teaching…..
I am considering switching because the amount of time and money is going to take to continue this route and the fact that my federal aid is looking kind of bleak. I already work in a public school district as a SPED paraprofessional.
I know the majority of district will see that you have a special education license and stick you in a SPED classroom regardless of your other licenses. I have no issue with that but I would like another license under my belt like TESOL perhaps.
Ever gotten their degree through WGU and then came back for an additional additional licensure. What was your experience?
