I have been horrible with working on National Board this school year. Grrrr. I have all of my samples, my student selected and everything put into my paper template...I just need to write the entry now. It's hard to get started because there is always so much to do for my classroom (even with a student teacher who is greatly sharing my load).
Alas, it is time. NB announced earlier last month that they are no longer using the infamous blue box. Everything will be submitted electronically. That means I have from April 1-May 31 to submit my portfolio entry. That is crazy but awesome (ooooh how I could have used that last year!).
I am not going to wait until the last second. My goal is to (hopefully) get my entry written, proofed and read by a NB certified friend by April 1 so I can make corrections/clarifications if I need to and submit it when I get back from Spring Break. Then it's done, out of my hair and I'm happy.
I'm so glad I went through the big process last year because there is just no way it would get done this year with everything going on at work. Whew!
