Per WGU's published description, The Education Professional prepares WGU students to excel in the exciting and impactful profession of being an educator. The course addresses the importance of continuous professional development and ethical considerations in teaching through the School of Education Professional Dispositions and Ethics, and students start a research-based professional portfolio. On completion, per the catalog, students carry the tools and insights to continue their professional journey of becoming effective, inspiring, and adaptive educators. One more catalog line matters for planning: this is not a transferable course, so outside credit cannot clear it.
Nine catalog program tables carry D752, every one in term 1: the M.A. Teaching tracks in elementary education and special education, plus the seven secondary tracks, English, mathematics, social studies, biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics. Whatever subject a career-switcher plans to teach, this is the first course of the degree, which makes it the course that sets the weekly pace for everything after it. Bachelor's students meet a different course, D663 The Professional Educator (EDUC 2225, 3 CUs), in the undergraduate education tables; the two are not the same course.
