Yes I am starting the program through Regent. Working on my tests now.
St.Hopeful, Are you talking about Blue Ridge in Verona?

Robin, I'm getting my package completed. Hope to be in the upcoming class (in VA) going for a dual certification in English and ESL. I'm going through VCC in Annandale. Did you complete by now?

Thanks!!

Congrats to you!
I am in VA, but have not taken the tests to get into the program yet. I qualify as far as I have a B.S. and the rest. I wanted English as well but feel overwhelmed by the amount of material that I must learn. Do you minor in English or something? I am uncomfortable that I do not know enough to get through the praxis 11 English. Anyway, you must be really excited. Virginia will be lucky to have you as a teacher.
