Contract, NBPTS, etc.

1. I'm glad the contract passed. I've written about it enough so you can track all of my feelings about it over the last two months, so I don't think there's more to say. I hopeful that it won't be abused more than the current contract is abused, and I'm hopeful these offices that are put in to track AUs and approve model teachers will be much more efficient than anything else that has come out of North Avenue.

2. Tomorrow, National Board scores will be reased. It's the only thing on my mind right now. I've been starting with mentoring of candidates for the upcoming year, but its all been kind of silly because I don't know if I have it yet. In fact, I'm not feeling very good about it. Scores will be released mid-morning and I don't remember ever being so nervous about something like this. Okay, okay, I was definitely more nervous about my students' IB scores this summer. But this is comparable.

3. Open House tonight. Busy, but I sure love my students.

Good thing you have Open House tonight so that you can keep your mind on something else. I remember waiting for mine--it is scary and exciting! Hope that you achieve!!

The interesting thing about candidate support is that as a CSP now, I feel like I know more about my cert area and the process than I did when I actually achieved! I am waiting to hear from my 7 candidates tomorrow...I'm almost as excited as they are! I'll be thinking good thoughts for you as well!
