Well, after nearly a 48 hour delay of getting results from when they were promised, I found out that I'm a National Board Certified Teacher. Funny, I don't feel like a better teacher now that I have that distinction.
I'm happy, of course, to have obtained certification, because a) it's hard and b) it's the only way to get a pay raise any more. I do take the certification with a grain of salt, however. I've seen really good teachers struggle to pass National Boards, and very average teachers ace it on the first try. It seems similar to the SAT: really good students can struggle with that test, while some very poor students do well on it. What does it really tell us?
