I've been thinking about starting a blog for at least the last year, but I never knew quite where to begin or what to write about. Sure I have plenty of things to say (as you'll find out), but who's going to listen to me?
Any hoo... about two weeks ago, I received a call saying that I would receive funding to pursue National Board Certification! So for the last two weeks, I've been searching high and low to find resources to help me survive the experience. I've read all sorts of horror stories, but I've also come across some resources that are truly amazing. However, resources that are targeted towards my certification area: Exceptional Needs Specialist - Early Childhood to Young Adult: Mild - Moderate are EXTREMELY limited.
Then it came to me! Why not start my blog talking about my journey in pursuing National Board Certification. It is my hope that this blog will inspire others who are going through the process and will serve as somewhat of a resource center. If you keep reading my blog - you will find out that I am VERY, VERY resourceful. In the beginning the blog will focus on National Board, but I will add instructional materials as I go along.
Enough for now! (I like to talk, if you haven't noticed!) Check back soon for my first list of resources to get you started on your journey.
I am currently in the process of returning to education. I just recieved my passing Praxis scores for MS ELA and Sp Ed M/M. I am finding it a bit difficult to get a position even with a MA in Ed...anyhow, I am excited that you have started this blog as I will follow closely because I already know I want to do NBC. I also sent you a message to your school's email as I am in LA too. Good luck and I hope you much success as I hope to learn and start putting the resources you offer to use.
