Hitting the books again...sorta.
Despite the fact that :
A. I was certified and taught middle school in Massachussets for 2 years AND
B. I passed all proper tests to be certified to teach middle and high school in New Jersey for the four years that I taught there, AND
C. I taught 6th - 9th grade at a charter school in Minnesota for 2 years AND
D. I now have my Masters Degree in English Curriculum and Instruction,
according to the state of Minnesota, I'm not actually qualifed to teach all the grades in middle school.
Apparently, I have one class, The American Middle School, that I must pass to earn my middle school certification in "Communication Arts." It's offered this fall, and is taught by a middle school principal in the area.
With nothing else pending at the moment, I decided to go ahead and register. So yes, I'm a student...again!

Good for you! Your mind has been too consumed with potty training these days it could use some other kind of stimulation. May also be a good networking environment for the educational position that God has in mind for you for the future!
Good Luck!

Good for you! Quiet time away from the kids and an opportunity for more learning -- just up your alley! God has good things in store for your future!
i think this is great! i've been thinking about doing the same.
congrats on the decision!
Um.... so what exactly do you learn in that class?? Maybe you will learn how to program your iPod now? Hmm...
I wish I would have had a great teacher like you in junior high. Hey, you wouldn't want to teach in our district, would ya?? Hahaha
