As many of you know, I was offered a position for a teaching fellowship/grad program in Washington DC about a year ago. One of the requirements was passing the state exams to earn a licensure to teach. I couldn’t pass them in May, they rescinded my offer and I decided to stay in my local area to pursue a master’s degree.
Just this past weekend, I received an email from admissions offering me a second chance to study with them and accept the offer to join their 2016 cohort.
The program pays about 75% of my tuition and by the time I finish the program I will already be a full time salaried teacher with three years of teaching under my belt (the first year is all student teaching). Compared to my program now, there are more networking opportunities, guaranteed post-grad teacher position and involved community support throughout the entire four-year program.
My question is whether or not I should take this chance and accept the offer even if it means leaving my current program? It might not come around again if I don't accept. What do you think?
