Distance Teaching Search Teachers.Net Advanced Quick Links: Set Post: Helping Others Through NB Posted by jade on 6/30/08 My posting things here and on the Literacy Yahoo Groups was actually helping me clarify my own thinking through the process. Many of the questions other people asked made me ask those same questions and search for answers. It was like a collaboration effort to figure out the roads we would eventually take to get to the Land Of National Board Certification! While it is all somewhat fresh on our minds, could you spell out some of the specifics about what help you received from the posts others made? Or, about what help you gave. That way, we know what we can do to help others next year. 1. The wide array of incoming questions made me have to answer specifics for myself, and some of those questions I had not even considered. 2. Examples posted by those who certified gave me my own ideas, esp. for entry 4. 3. Some NBCT's took time to post the general overall view of an entry and I found this extremely helpful at the times I was drowning in the details and specifics. 4. The encouragement was awesome! I needed it too. 5. I found it helpful that people would give the directions page numbers so that I could read things for myself. (Of course, this works mostly for your same certification area. However, everyone has the scoring guide and other overall directions.) 6. And too, it was helpful when people asked for improvements on their teaching plans per entry. I didn't copy anyone but I did use it as a springboard for my own thinking. 7. Oh yes, and the beginning posts on the reflective processes everyone was going through was very helpful. People were saying, "I wish I had..." and "I'm so glad I decided to..." Next?! What can we help with for the NB crew behind us? Or ourselves, if we are retaking parts ourselves! jade RESPOND TO THIS POST START A NEW THREAD RETURN TO CHATBOARD Posts on this thread, including this one Helping Others Through NB, 6/30/08, by jade.
