I am working on my site and found some drafts that I never published.  I was hoping it would publish with the draft date, but it didn’t.  It was worthy of publishing, so here it is from December 18, 2008.  

I was listening to David Warlick’s podcast from 12/13 and he talked about the teacher as a master learner.  That makes me think about the journey that I am on now pursuing National Board Certification.  It is funny.  I can vividly remember my first or second year of teaching, there was an announcement about pursuing certification, and I thought, “Are they CRAZY??!!!  Who would want to do that???”  And here I am in the throws of it.  And I do think, “Am I CRAZY???”
