I just found your blog today {and LOVE it}. I've been certified for many years. I'm so glad you wrote this post. I think it's important to spread the word about the process and benefits of National Boards. It also totally changed the way I teach. I felt like I was holding down two jobs as I went through the process, but so glad I did it. I'm your newest follower.

I have just about 6 weeks left in the process and so much left to do. Luckily, it is NOTHING like the original round!!

I hope to go through the process sometime and hopefully with a friend!! :)

I am a better writer and I think through my lessons more. Sadly, with budget cuts, none of the NBCTs in my school district get a stipend anymore!

Passed the first go round, but who knows how! Luckily my writing is better than my study skills which are nonexistent. What's scared me was that I had just submitted my packet in Middle childhood then found out I was moving to 2nd grade! I was terrified I'd have to borrow kids to retake something! Every bit worth it-we get 12% pay increase for now-professionally and personally

It was truely a rewarding process. I learned a lot about myself and my teaching style. While I didn't miss too much of my kids events, I spent a lot of long nights working and revising. In the end cutting 6 pages out of one entry, and 4 out of another. I would totally recommend going through the process!

It was literally my "baby" for a year…I was a horrible friend to everyone during that time – I missed so many birthdays, baby showers, and bridal showers because of it…lol
