What a great meeting! Thanks again to all of our fabulous NBCTs who have agreed to mentor our current candidates! The quality of your conversations tonight was delightful...I heard thought-provoking questions from the mentors and equally thoughtful answers from candidates. I was absolutely serious when I said that all of you are strong writers...that makes mentoring a candidate much easier.
To reiterate my response to Kristy's question about how forthright I will be regarding the quality or your entries...I will always direct you back to your entry's criteria and to your certificate's standards. And I promise to let you know if you veer off-track.
Do mark December 4th on your calendars as the date for the annual TPAT conference which will be held in Round Rock - more on that later.
Your homework: get a 99% finished version of entry 4 to both your mentor(s) and to me by November 7th. Look at your entry 2 and entry 3 descriptors and decide which one you will tackle next. Videotape a lesson and bring it to our next cohort meeting on November 18th.
Best wishes go out to Kristie W. who is getting married next Friday!
I saw a lot if great work at the meeting! What a talented group.
