Review:

I completed the post-baccalaureate program for elementary education while teaching on a provisional certificate.  They worked with me, DID NOT hold my hand, and helped me succeed.  If you want to be spoon fed, this IS NOT a program for you.  You actually have to do the work, not just attend class and pass a test.  The scheduling was fine and the work was hard.  Finally getting my certificate was worth it.  I also knew a lot more than my colleagues about the basics, including fundamental concepts, special education requirements, how N.C.L.B. works, etc.  This knowledge has given me a competitive edge in the workplace.  I've had some problems with financial aid, but they were resolved.  If you’re self-motivated, this is definitely the program for you!
