Sybil TroullierMake sure you include verbiage from the standards in your writing. You should also include the theorists you are relating to and their theory and how you applied it.
My area is Exceptional Needs. I'm sad because I missed the cut score by 14 points. I am happy because I completed the task and I have learned so much. I am trying to decide if I should continue. Any suggestions?
Sybil TroullierYES, continue. Being NBCT opens many doors and opportunities. You can get immediate certification in other states if needed and you are respected in the profession. You are more marketable and puts you ahead of the rest.
I delayed videotaping myself the entire first semester and have to going.
I figure I could use an iPad or iPhone to record myself, but am concerned about the sound- are there microphones for these devices? Any tips would be appreciated.
TriciaGI find that iPads have a adequate microphone for videotaping. Just try it once even if it's not for the lesson that you plan to analyze and see what you think.
Have any Spanish teachers received certification and/or good scores? My coworker and I are trying to figure out how to tackle Component 4 (and then 1 in the spring). Muchas gracias :)
I am planning to do component 2 and 3. I have read the standards but still am confused how to start activities and writings when school begins. Kindly advise
Melissa KStart with the directions. Examine what you are being asked to do, and look at the prompts that you will need to discuss in your written commentary. Start thinking about how these things already fit with what you do, and what tweaking you can do to make it stronger.
whatworksI'm just now seeing this...how does it happen that you submitted in July? I don't t think you can do that. The deadline was in May, so I'm confused. Also, just to clarify, the correct acronym is NBPTS (National Board for Professional Teaching Standards).
