I turned in my massive MAT portfolio on Saturday (somewhere in the neighborhood of 380-400 pagses). It represents an entire year’s worth of teaching, reflecting, teaching, and re-teaching…It feels so good to have that out of the way. Now, all I gotta do is survive one more observation and finish my curriculum framework. This time next year, I’ll be fully certified and get a nice raise. The upcoming summer, fall, and spring are going to suck, royally. If I can survive one more year, though, it’ll all be worth it.
