Update from me

I wonder why going to Graduate school is so expensive.  I wonder why they don’t offer more courses for graduate school study.  I’m trying to figure out what I want to go back to school for, but I can’t seem to figure it out and $800 a credit is so much money, I definitely, don’t want to make the wrong decision. 

Right now, I’m leaning towards going to Hofstra University and doing a dual program in Literacy and Special Education for inclusion birth- grade 2.  I’m not really interested in Literacy, but I feel it is important and that it will help me.  I’m interested in inclusion, but I’m not sure if I was teaching in this setting, I would want to be the special education teacher.  Although, it may help me to teach in this setting as the general education teacher. I’m waiting to hear back from a few other schools for more information, but from what I can tell, Hofstra has the program I’m most interested in. 

Other than looking into schools to better my education, I am also updating my portfolio and my resume, just in case, you never know what will happen. If a teacher comes back from maternity leave, and/or they close classes because enrollment has dropped, if coaching positions are eliminated.  I may not have a job at my school next year.  I don’t think this will be the case, but you never know.

I can honestly say, that the school year is coming to a quick end.  I can only hope it continues at the pace it has been the last month or so.  I am so ready for my summer vacation.

In two weeks, I’ll be on Spring Break and on my way to California.
