Has anyone specifically gotten this cert? If so who did you use? Needs to be 100% online.

This year has been a wild ride. After successfully fighting off some toxic leadership (and winning!), I’m now facing a major career crossroads.

On one hand, I have an offer to be an assistant teacher at my absolute dream school. But with that comes the loss of my teaching identity. I love teaching! I love every aspect of it. I have never been an assistant. I went straight from college to my own classroom.

On the other, my current school is moving me to 4th grade due to budget cuts. While 4th grade is a huge jump from my Pre-K/Kinder roots, I’d be teaching right alongside my best friend and mentor. This teacher is an actual guru in child development! Spent years working with children who have severe profound behavioral disorders, and an overall incredible educator! Has one educator of the year multiple times! And when I was a fresh little teacher, baby out of college, this teacher took me under their way and guided me with no judgment just absolute pure help! We were always referred to as the dream team! I brought sunshine and rainbows they brought structure and order!

I’m stuck between choosing the school I’ve always wanted or the partnership that makes the job worth doing.
