For the past couple of years I have been thinking about returning to school to get my Master's degree. Last year I actually applied for a program, got accepted, signed up for classes, ordered books, and then found out that I needed a credential to be a part of the program. I was very upset because I really wanted to be a part of the program. The sad part is that throughout the entire process, from the online literature, the school catalog, the application, and the acceptance letter, not once did it say that a credential was required for the program. This broke my heart. I have no intention of getting my credential because I teach at a private school that does not require it. I have taken and passed all of my qualification tests and that is enough for me. I want to move on to teaching college and in order to do that I need to get my Masters.
Over the past couple of weeks I have been researching new programs and I finally found one that seems to fit. Today I started the application process, ordered transcripts, and started to contact people to complete letters of recommendation. The process should take about three to four weeks and if all goes well, I will start school at the end of August. My degree will be a MA in Education with an emphasis in Information Technology. I figured that this would be a great fit for me considering not only my love of technology, but also my desire to bring the use of technology into the forefront withing my classroom.
Here is to hoping that this time it all works out.
