Speak with colleagues who have certified in the same area you are hoping to pursue, and listen to their advice. Also, know that you will need a huge support system to pursue National Boards and teach full time. <br /><br />Best wishes!!

I just learned they are changing the whole process and the only way to get in under the current system is to complete portfolio by mid May. I was wondering how long the process took for you? I am a full-time teacher, not not yet a mom. Do you believe it would be doable in a few months? Thank you for your time and insight!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how to create a calendar, to-do list and organization system for all the entries and resources.Ms. Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369122799612236528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582327537836444417.post-34180475385988221072012-03-19T02:20:08.563-04:002012-03-19T02:20:08.563-04:00Congrats!!!

It was also the most valuable professional development opportunity I have ever had. I am absolutely a better teacher from my time focusing on the standards and my craft.

I was afraid of all the work, but I am terrified with all the assessments. My husband is away pretty much all week and my two kids (+ my 24) keep me busy. I am hoping to get around to it one day ;) Congrats again!!!Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506366541277361571noreply@blogger.com
