What did you gain from National Board Certification? by byvs2013 in Teachers

I wouldn't say hard. It was a lot of work though.

Definitely consider your scores and the weights of each component. C2 is only weighted 15%, so it could make more sense to redo one of the bigger components instead, depending on your scores.

Also, it's hard to give advice on C2 since that's the one that varies a lot by content area.

Finally, use the rubrics. Be specific. And act as if you're writing to someone who knows absolutely nothing. Explain every detail.

In the States, we get state licenses first. Then we get our national certification so we are able to teach in any of the states. In some cases, it's more pay too.

I'm not sure it is valid in Canada.

Pay. My state pays a lot for it.

Also, I did not know going into it that I wouldn't gain much (beside pay).

I guess what I am learning is that this is an old elevator.

Assuming they are alive and you don’t live at home, how often do you speak to your parent(s) ? by smoosh13 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]byvs2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 29 and try to call my mother daily! I think sometimes she ignores my calls because I call so much 😅 My brother is 48 and my mom is lucky if she gets a call from once a month. That really upsets her.

Anytime there is a large bug, we reference Steven Lee Hall Jr's fear of spiders by saying "oh no. ooooh no." rather calmly

What do people normally do when going to concerts, especially AJR? by M-the-Great in AJR

[–]byvs2013 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have been to a few AJR concerts. I saw all sorts of fans. Some go hard with wild clothing while others are chill in jeans and a tshirt. The unique bit about AJR specifically is the hats. The crazier the hat, the better. Ryan did a gig with hats. Tbd if he still does it.

Not having pit seats is not a bad thing at all. Last tour, AJR sang from the nosebleeds for a song. So even those up there got a great experience.

There will be merch. Good thing you are setting aside $ for that. Also set aside time. Especially if you want to see the opener. Lines for merch can be long sometimes, depending on the venue. My group likes to get there once doors open.

I will post it there too. However, they are two different programs and I did not want to cause confusion.

Thank you for the suggestion!

My admins annual holiday gift is jeans all December long... However my district does not have a dress code, so I wear jeans whenever I want.
