I’m nearing the end of my years-long journey to obtain a master’s degree in teaching English. Over the last month, I’ve completed a few more of the required courses. Here’s an update.
Coursework Complete
Over the last month, I’ve completed a few more courses.
| Course Name | Credits | Completed |
| Orientation | 0 | ✔ |
| Foundations of Education | 2 | ✔ |
| Educational Psychology and Human Development of Children and Adolescents | 4 | ✔ |
| Schools as Communities of Care | 2 | ✔ |
| Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment | 2 | ✔ |
| Assessing Student Learning | 2 | ✔ |
| Essential Practices for Supporting Diverse Learners | 3 | ✔ |
| Creating and Managing Engaging Learning Environments | 2 | ✔ |
| Using Educational Technology for Teaching and Learning | 2 | ✔ |
| Secondary Reading Instruction and Interventions | 2 | ✔ |
| Secondary Disciplinary Literacy | 2 | |
| English Pedagogy | 3 | ✔ |
| Professional Portfolio | 1 | |
| Cohort Seminar | 1 |
The two new courses completed are the two lowest “check-marked” courses at the bottom of the table.
English Pedagogy was not too difficult, only a little time-consuming. Completing this course took about three or four weeks, but most of that time was due to the fact that I am in the process of moving to Tok, AK.
Secondary Reading Instruction and Interventions took about two and a half summer days. This course was easy, given that my last job was to work in this specific field as a Reading Interventionist.
Project Page Created
To keep information about my WGU degree in one place, I put together a page in my projects section of the website.
