Back to School

I'm going back to school. Yep, I've picked my graduate school and I'm waiting to be contacted from Baker University. Here's what I've researched about it:

"Baker's Master of Arts in Education (MAEd) degree is a 36-hour program designed for the practicing classroom teacher who wants to enhance his or her teaching ability and stay abreast of current developments in the field. During this program, you will develop a strong base of relevant knowledge and have numerous opportunities for implementation and reflection."

Basically I can get my Masters in 18 months, I don't have to take the GRE (I hate taking Standardized Test), no Thesis (But there is a portfolio, that I can handle), and Baker has been named one of America's Best Graduate Schools by US News and World Report.

You can't beat that. There's a campus in Lee's Summit just up the road from our house. Accelerated classes meet one night each week or on Saturday mornings during the school year, and either during the day or in the evening for 6 or 7 weeks during the summer. So I can take the classes at my own pace.

I'm super excited and can not wait to get a hold of someone from the college. I filled out the forms I had to on the computer. They said someone would contact me within the next few days.

I love the feeling of going back to school.
