[nobe-l] Sharon and National Certification

[Kathy Nimmer]

Hi, Sharen,
  I see you are an NBCT too. When did you certify? I did it in 2003 and just 
renewed last year. I found the recert process to be an easier go of it than 
the initial cert. Good to know other teachers with disabilities survived the 
process as the precision of submitting was something else! I kept worrying I 
would not certify because a sticker was in the wrong place or a paperclip 
was not attaching the right pages! Grin! Second time was way less intense.

Hi, Lillie!

I am a totally blind Kindergarten teacher in the public school system
teaching sighted children. It can be done. It's important that you remember
that you can do whatever you wish to do. And I agree with Kathy that it
just depends what your strengths and talents are. I tend to like playing
games, singing and dancing, doing puppet shows, and retelling stories. This
is all part of a Kindergarten teacher's life, but probably not at all
similar to a High School teacher's experience.

I also run a teaching blog if you want to take a more in-depth look at what
I do on a daily basis in the classroom.
