Subject Area Exam

by Loren Griffith

Mar 30, 2017

Hello.

I have to have the Subject Area Exam to get my bachelors degree in my hand. I completed my Early Childhood Education program in December of 2015. I cannot pass the Developmental Knowledge portion of the Subject Area Exam. I have tried EVERYTHING. I have taken the portion 5 times and I have studied literally everything. Any advice?

by Amy

Mar 16, 2017

I am attempting to enroll in an online masters program to earn a masters in education in reading. I am strongly considering Arkansas State University. Has anyone earned a masters in education from this school, and was it accepted by fldoe for reading certification?
