I have my Masters!!!! I graduated on Saturday while Trav’s and my entire family showed their support by attending the ceremony. It was so exciting to walk across that stage and feel done….umm for now. I just signed up for National Boards so I will be doing that this next year. There are many benefits to National Boards. One being that it is the highest certificate that a teacher can hold and it qualifies me to teach in all 50 states. My current certificate is only good in IL. I also signed up for a 2 classes this summer. One is a week long and will train me on how to use a SMARTboard (I will have one in my room next year!!!) and another is to get a “jumpstart” on my boards. Finally, I signed up in the fall for a 16 week, 6 credit class that is supposed to help you get through the NB process. 3 out of 4 teachers fail the first time they submit….so hopefully the class will ensure that I am the 1 out of 4 that passes the first time!
My supportive hubby….who knew when to leave me alone some Saturdays when I was vigorously typing away or would ask if needed anything to eat or drink when he felt I had worked too long without a break….Thanks babe.
