The courses state that you can take the class during the school year, and
if you take it during the summer, you can say things like "during the next
year, I will implement the strategy described on page seven of the course
reading....." That is the approach that I would take if I were you. (And
on that note, I would pick one grade, either my dream grade or the one
would like the least [but would obviously still take] and focus on that one
grade as if you had your own class. The former would be more fun for you;
the latter would help you if you are offered the "big kids" or the "little
kids," whichever is not your preference. There is no requirement that you
are on a school's payroll to take the class. Hopefully the courses will
help you organize your classroom, and your teaching thoughts, so that
you'll be better prepared when you do get your own classroom.
