National Board Certification

I am currently appplying for National Board Certification for Teachers.....man is it a lot of work.....It requires lots of typing and I mean lots....Each of the 4 entries has to be approximately 13 pages with 2 pages of reflection. When I was at North Greenville I always wondered why I was writing all those dumb papers for Johnson, England, and Wilbanks...Now I know why!!! Thats 60 pages plus on each entry you have to provide a certain number of pages as evidence or proof that what you typed is actually ocurring in your classroom...On 2 of the 4 entries i have to submit a 15 minute vide of me teachingwhat I wrote about. You would think with all that typing I would not have any typing left in me for this blog, but I do......Youknow me...I talk toooooo much! Anyway back to the National Board stuff....I have to have all of my writing done before I go the Philippines so I can get "proofers" to look at it while I am gone.....Due to the enormity of this project I am trying to get as many readers as I can.....If you are interested in helping me I can send what I have so far to you electronically...You then could highlight corrections and send it back....If you are interested please let me know......All of entries are due to the NB office no later than March 31....I then will have a huge exam to take on June 1st....I will not find out my results until November of this year....I know it STINKS!!!!! If you live in the spartanburg area, there is an article in todays paper about the whole process and WHY we do it...Its in the upstate section....Read it!
