Self-Paced Curriculum, Well-Prepared for the PPR
The self-paced coursework was extremely beneficial as a first-year intern teacher. When pursuing my 7-12 math certification, I felt well-prepared by iTeach in the areas of instruction, vulnerable student populations, and pedagogy/teaching theory. I felt well prepared for my PPR exam, but I did have to consult many outside resources (aside from what iTeach provided) to feel well prepared for my Math 7-12 exam. Overall, the iTeach curriculum was easy to navigate and complete. Some course instructors graded extremely harshly and/or it was clear they were using artificial intelligence to grade my submissions with the rubric. At times, the feedback I received on my assignment felt impersonal and extremely detailed. I poured 6-8 hours into certain submissions in order to get them to a passing score.
