WHAT was I thinking? LOL We had a representative from ASU Jonesboro meet with our school district this past Feb/March. They have a new Master's Program and it's an academic partnership between ASU and school districts - Ashdown being one of them. If you signed up by a certain date, you could take the May or June course for FREE. It's ALL online, the classes are 5 weeks in length - you can finish in 15 months! So I'm thinkin' - Heck to the Yeah! I'll take their free course and that'll give me incintive to go on and finish my Master's. HOLY CRAP - what was I thinking?! Last Tuesday was the first day - we were assigned a Research Action Plan to begin this week and finish by the end of the course - June 26, I think. AND - had a four page paper on a Reflective Assessment of which learning theory I utilize most in my classroom. Dear Lord. The fact that Ashdown pays for 12 hours per year on your Masters is not incentive enough for me, I don't think - not with a 19 month old who demands my attention. Okay - maybe the $4000 pay increase at the end of the program will be incentive? I just don't know.......this is sounding like more than I bargained for!
