After she graduated in 2019 with her Bachelor\u2019s in Education\u2014<\/p>\n<h2>Why DoDEA?<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Maria began teaching kindergarten at Fort Novosel in Alabama after graduation.

The relationship offers federal government employees and their immediate families and federal government retirees worldwide in-state tuition rates for all online graduate-level Teacher College courses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As a teacher for DoDEA, Maria is considered a Department of Defense federal employee. Thinking she\u2019d need to pause her education at various times to prevent taking out student loans, the news of Ball State\u2019s newfound relationship with the Federal Academic Alliance came at the perfect time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard about Ball State collaborating with the Federal Academic Alliance a few days before Christmas, which, to me, was an incredible gift. The relationship and reduced tuition has really changed [the timing] of my career ambitions because I\u2019m able to go through my master\u2019s consecutively without having to take breaks to save money [for tuition],\u201d says Maria.<\/p>\n<h2>An Online Student Abroad<\/h2>\n<p>When considering her options for school, there was no doubt that Maria needed an online option. Though she considered other less-expensive universities, she kept coming back to Ball State. Once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m a big fan of Ball State\u2019s education&#8230;the education is top tier. I\u2019ve learned so much and have had real-world experiences &#8230; even though [my courses] are online, I can go out and do some of the practicums in my school and have those authentic experiences,\u201d says Maria.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-676 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/08\/04090702\/Wiesbaden-Elementary-School-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Wiesbaden Elementary School, a DoDEA school where Maria Schultz teaches. \" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/08\/04090702\/Wiesbaden-Elementary-School-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/08\/04090702\/Wiesbaden-Elementary-School-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/08\/04090702\/Wiesbaden-Elementary-School-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/08\/04090702\/Wiesbaden-Elementary-School-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/08\/04090702\/Wiesbaden-Elementary-School-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another major factor in Maria\u2019s choice was the flexibility of the Master\u2019s in Educational Administration and Supervision, her professors, and Student Success Specialist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing an online student is challenging but rewarding,\u201d says Maria. \u201cI am beyond thankful for the online option because I have a six-hour time difference. I can watch recorded lectures on my time and set up appointments with faculty and my Student Success Specialist that work for my schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for collaborating with classmates, the six-hour time difference isn\u2019t a problem at all because almost everyone in the program is a full-time professional and is very intentional about their time and assignments. They have a range of communication tactics to keep in touch and on schedule with each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith [my classmates], I communicate and collaborate with them weekly through Canva<span data-contrast=\"auto\">s<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> discussion boards, giving them feedback on projects, by reaching out just to have a buddy to work with and bounce ideas off of &#8230; we meet on Zoom to complete projects together, so it\u2019s nice to be able to meet even though we\u2019re in all different places in the world,\u201d says Maria.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Planning for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>Maria will graduate with her master\u2019s degree in May 2024. Afterward, she plans to apply for an assistant principal position within DoDEA in Europe or Asia, with the ultimate goal of becoming a DoDEA superintendent one day. However, her education won\u2019t end with her master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, I want to keep going with Ball State\u2019s education. I want to be a lifelong learner, and get my EdS and, eventually, my PhD through Ball State. My professors are already setting us up for success if we want to take that route. They are always thinking of our future goals with us and truly care about us,\u201d says Maria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During Maria Schultz\u2019s senior year at Ball State University, she traveled to Ramstein, Germany.
