Im a mentor. I had 3 candidates in my group score 1.0 on different components!! Im just sick :( Im totally convinced that there is a glitch somewhere, but who has $500 to fight (or question) a losing battle.

Redo 1 for sure. That's a low hanging fruit. What is the calculator telling you? If you got a 3 on 1 and a higher score on 3 would you certify?

I'm certifying in ECYA-exceptional needs. For Comp 3 it says, "two different lessons and units of instruction" and on another page it says, "the two videos combined must represent a breadth of knowledge of the content area." At first read, it seems like two different lessons from 2 different areas (mat/science), but after reading th...See More

Yes I passed C3. One of my videos was 3rd grade writing. The other was a 4th grade reading group. Your content area knowledge is Exceptional Needs not science, math or reading so how would you best demonstrate how you teach students with exceptional needs?

I missed the cut score by 1 point. What is the verification service? I would love to have my scores reevaluated, but was not sure how to go about doing that.

It's not a re-eval of your score. They just make sure that it is in fact what you scored they do not restore your submissions. Save your money and focus on one component you could improve!

I just found out that my mentor is on leave and may not be able to help as usual . Soooo I have three options
* just study and focus on component 1 and take component 2 out my basket
* take them both and get a new mentor
* take them both and keep her but use informal NBCT support
I have to ...See More

I think 1 and 2 are really good to do together because comp 2 will help you understand and study your standards which you need for component 1. I had 2 mentors, and I can tell you that they are not all equally good. It doesn't hurt (or cost you anything) to ask for a new mentor.

There's a lot of great resources on the web. Join the Facebook groups and the other boards. I didn't do it with a mentor but I did use input and feedback from my peers!

I believe the student group is your class, regardless of your cert. area. So you would pick one "class" even if it is just 5 students.

For the assessment part you need at least three students so I would make sure it is a group of three! For one part of 4 I used my 4th grade math kids (4 of them) and for the other part I used my caseload.

HELP!!
Jan 22, 2018
by 6 points. Since this component is weighted more heavily, I feel I can improve enough to pass. I am looking for advice. It appears I need to "provide clearer evidence" for several prompts. I would appreciate any advice.

I need advice too! I don't understand what I am doing wrong!

Hey all, I passed for AYA Science and scored a 3 on component 3. I don't have any clue what they are looking for in the 4 range, but I was coached to cite specific parts of the video for as many questions as you can. I know that only a few questions asked you to cite specific evidence from the video, but I cited evidence for almost every question t...See More
